Faculty of Health Sciences, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Beer-Sheva, Israel.
Article Synopsis
- This study explored the link between involutional ectropion (an eyelid condition) and chronic inflammatory diseases affecting the eyelid and ocular surface, along with other systemic diseases.
- Researchers conducted a case-control study using medical records from Clalit Health Services in Israel, comparing patients with involutional ectropion to control groups with cataracts and other eye conditions, while controlling for age, sex, and ethnicity.
- Findings showed significant associations between involutional ectropion and various inflammatory diseases (like blepharitis and chronic conjunctivitis) as well as systemic conditions such as hypertension and dyslipidaemia, indicating these factors may be independent risk contributors to the eyelid condition.
Article Synopsis
- - Leishmaniasis can present symptoms that are similar to other medical conditions like hordeolum (stye), basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma.
- - A key feature of leishmaniasis is the presence of kinetoplasts in either free-form or within macrophages, which helps in diagnosing the disease under a microscope.
- - Understanding these diagnostic features is important for accurate identification and treatment of leishmaniasis, especially since it can easily be confused with other conditions.
