Authors: Zeng Linghe , Stetina Salliana R. , Erpelding John E. , Bechere Efrem , Turley Rick B. , Scheffler Jodi
Published: October 2022

Cotton breeders have focused mainly on selecting for high yield and early maturity under the impact of the boll weevil (Anthonomus grandis Boh.) in the last century. Selection for high fiber quality was once a less important objective in cotton breeding. With the transition of the U.S. cotton industry from a domestic consumer to a major exporter of raw fibers into the global market and the technology advancements in the textile industry since the 1990s, the need for high fiber quality in cotton cultivars has increased. In recent years, genetic improvement in cultivars for insect resistance, disease resistance, and abiotic stress tolerance has become important for maintaining cotton yield. Under strong competition from other major crops, increasing profit in cotton production has become an urgent task for cotton breeders and increasing economic potential in cottonseed and other economic traits can help promote profits for cotton growers. In this paper, the major research projects related to cotton breeding at the USDA-ARS at Stoneville, MS since the 1960s are reviewed. These research projects reflect the changing needs in cotton production during the period and focus on broadening the genetic base of Upland cotton for improving agronomic traits and fiber quality in cotton cultivars by a group of scientists with different scientific disciplines. A comprehensive review of this research can help develop strategies and identify research fields to strengthen to meet challenges in future.
A.E. Housman’s Bio-Drama(tic) Journey in Tom Stoppard’s The Invention Of Love
Authors: GUVEN Samet
Published: October 2022

This study highlights the compulsive sexuality of Housman for his love towards his classmate, Jackson. The moral codes of the era enforced Housman to keep his feelings secret since Victorian society prohibited homosexual affairs. Therefore, Housman was compelled to hide his desires stemming from his desperate love. The Invention of Love turns around the ambition of Housman for his homosexual identity. At the same time, Stoppard’s play is one of the best examples of bio-drama which consists of the words “biography” and “drama”. In this respect, the aim of this study is to reveal how the playwright uncovers Housman’s homosexual tendencies from Foucauldian perspective through bio-drama.

Occurrence and Distribution of Philippine Warty Pig (Sus philippensis Nehring, 1886) in Mt. Banahaw de Tayabas, Luzon Island, Philippines
Authors: Cabanas Al John , de Guia Anna Pauline , Vega Renato , Dimalibot Judeline
Published: October 2022

This study determined the occurrence and distribution of Philippine warty pig (Sus philippensis) in Mt. Banahaw de Tayabas using camera trapping and indirect signs. The Philippine warty pig is an endemic species of wild pig in the Philippines and is currently listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List because of the presence of several threats such as hunting, habitat fragmentation, and the current outbreak of African swine fever (ASF). Camera trap stations were established with 10 camera traps functioning 24 h for 17 d along different elevations. Different species distribution models (BIOCLIM, DOMAIN, and MAXENT) were constructed using 19 bioclimatic predictors to determine the potential distribution of the species in Mt. Banahaw. Results from three different SDMs suggested that Philippine warty pigs prefer to occupy secondary growth forests, as a high probability of occurrence was observed within 600–800 m above sea level (masl). Models also predicted that Philippine warty pigs occupy large portions of Mt. Banahaw de Tayabas, although sparsely in the extreme southern and northern sections of the mountain. The most reliable model that predicted the distribution of the species was MAXENT, as it acquired the highest area under curve (AUC) among the three SDMs. This study confirmed the presence of Philippine warty pigs in Mt. Banahaw de Tayabas and its preferred habitat. The data and information generated here will be useful for the local community’s plans in conserving and managing this endemic species. Additional recommendations also include investigating the population size within and outside the protected area and establishing baseline data to assess the impact of ASF.

Published: October 2022

The value of urban green spaces as important habitats for the maintenance of diverse wildlife species is not well explored in the Philippines. Data on bird diversity in urban areas like Davao City is very scant. Thus, the study documented bird species diversity in 15 urban green spaces of Davao City. These areas were previously not surveyed based on published literature. This study is also the first attempt to determine the correlation between green space size and Shannon diversity values. Green spaces were pre-selected, and bird censuses following a zigzag walk across each green space were conducted from October–December 2019. Coordinates of surveyed areas plotted on a digital map were used to estimate green space size. Diversity values were calculated using Shannon and Simpson indices. Pearson r correlation was employed to calculate the correlation between green space size and Shannon diversity values. Fifty-three (53) species (32 families) were accounted for, with 28 species added to the current list of birds from Davao City’s urban green spaces. Endemism was relatively low across all sites (17%). Only four species were common in all sites – namely, Passer montanus, Lanius cristatus, Cinnyris jugularis, and Pycnonotus goiavier. Shannon diversity values varied across sites (highest H' = 3.128, lowest H' = 1.688) and showed a positive correlation (r = 0.54) with green space size. Despite positive correlation, larger green spaces do not necessarily have the highest Shannon diversity values, suggesting that bird diversity in urban green spaces may be influenced by other factors. This warrants verification in the future to include studies on green space vegetation and complexity, noise level, and impact of anthropogenic activities.
Detection of Epithelial Giant Cells in Nasal Aspirate Cytological Smears Using Deep Learning and Computer Vision Techniques: an Approach for Early Diagnosis of Measles Disease
Authors: Rao Abhishek , Pai Karthik , Nayak Sneha , Shenoy Rathika
Published: October 2022

Measles disease is usually diagnosed through an RT-PCR test, which detects the measles-specific IgM antibody in serum samples. However, this approach is highly expensive and requires a lot of sample preprocessing making it a laborious task. Another approach for measles identification could be a cytological smear test – which is a low-cost, quick, and accurate method for the early detection of measles disease. Due to the lack of experience in interpreting smears, its usage in clinical practice is currently limited. We have designed a MesoSpot, an automatic segmentation method for the first time that can precisely define the region of giant cells in nasal aspirate cytological smears and assist medical experts in the speedy diagnosis of measles disease. MesoSpot was developed by training 500 cytological smear images collected from various web sources. We have used 50 cytological smear images to validate the model and evaluated its performance using various metrics. The main purpose of the proposed study is to detect multinucleated giant cells and estimate their size and number, which aids in assessing the disease's severity. To annotate the giant cells in each cytological smear, we have applied a semantic segmentation approach using APEER software. UNET architecture was used to train the model, and image processing techniques were used to spot giant cells and predict their size. Various performance metrics were employed to assess the model's efficiency. The model's output was also compared to the ground truth image and statistically confirmed.
Investigation of Structural, Physicochemical, Pharmacokinetics, PASS Prediction, and Molecular Docking Analysis of Methyl 6-O-Myristoyl-α-D -Glucopyranoside Derivatives against SARS-CoV-2
Authors: Uddin Kabir , Hosen Mohammed , Khan Mohammad , Ozeki Yasuhiro , Kawsar Sarkar
Published: October 2022

Monosaccharide derivatives are of importance in the field of carbohydrate chemistry because of their effectiveness in the synthesis of biologically active products. As a consequence, the chemistry and biochemistry of carbohydrate derivatives are an essential part of biochemical and medicinal research. In this work, we have explored the speciation of acylated methyl 6-O-myristoyl-α-D-glucopyranoside derivatives (2−9) to find the pharmacodynamics, toxicity profiles, and biological activities by using ADMET studies. PASS prediction also indicated that these acylated derivatives (2−9) are more potent as anticarcinogenic agents than as antioxidant agents. Quantum mechanical study employing density functional theory with B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) for investigating the enthalpies (ΔH), Gibbs free energies (ΔG), entropies (ΔS), and molecular orbital (HOMO−LUMO gap, hardness, softness, chemical potential, and electrophilicity index), dipole moment and natural bond orbital revealed that these derivatives are thermodynamically stable. The molecular docking study revealed that ivermectin has the highest binding affinity (−8.1 kcal mol−1) and, among the tested compounds, 2 and 3 (−5.7 kcal mol−1) showed the highest binding affinity, followed by 4 and 5 (−5.5 kcal mol−1). These results of acylated derivatives (2−9) could be useful for the development of drugs.

Published: October 2022

En las últimas décadas la incidencia de cáncer ha aumentado. Nuevas técnicas de diagnóstico y nuevos tratamientos han aumentado la supervivencia de los pacientes con cáncer.. Esta supervivencia implica convivir con una enfermedad crónica y compleja durante períodos prolongados, haciendo que el paciente concurra a instituciones de salud ocupando mucho tiempo de su vida en la enfermedad.

Nuestro objetivo fue realizar una encuesta en los pacientes que se atienden en el servicio de oncología del hospital para analizar el tiempo invertido en actividades relacionadas con la atención médica oncológica.

Se realizó un cuestionario presencial entre enero y marzo del 2020 en quienes que se atienden en el Servicio de Oncología del Hospital Dr. Teodoro Álvarez.

A la pregunta de cuánto le insume su enfermedad, en tratamientos, estudios, extracciones de sangre y otros al mes, un 34% respondió entre 11 y 30 días.

El 68% refirió que su enfermedad le consume más de una semana al mes y un 13% más de 3 incluyendo trámites, estudios y tratamiento.

Los pacientes oncológicos y sus familiares invierten una importante carga horaria mensual en la atención y tratamiento del cáncer. La demora en estudios complementarios y entrega de medicación impresionan ser las principales causas. La pérdida laboral ocurre en más del 50%, principalmente en personas jóvenes, siendo la enfermedad una notable causa de ausentismo; lo cual nos hace

pensar en tratar de buscar estrategias que permitan optimizar el acceso a turnos, medicación oncológica y agilizar la entrega estudios para optimizar el tiempo.
1984, Foucault, Contre-hétérotopie
Authors: Crocitti Olivier
Published: October 2022

Au printemps 1984, peu avant sa disparition, Foucault autorisa la publication d’une conférence de 1967, intitulée Des espaces autres, dans laquelle il conceptualise l’hétérotopie : une « utopie concrète » répondant à l’épistémè de notre époque réaliste et sérieuse, reléguant l’utopie au statut de rêverie simpliste. Mais cette définition de l’hétérotopie est en quelque sorte hétérosémique. À la première lecture, les hétérotopies sont tantôt des anti-utopies, tantôt des utopies. Je veux lire (ou relire) l’œuvre de Foucault comme une contre-utopie utopique et non comme une anti-utopie. On pourrait objecter que cette relecture forcée trahit la pensée foucaldienne, dystopique et non contre-utopique. Pourtant, à la lumière de son interprétation de Was ist Aufklärung de Kant et de sa lecture non-actuelle des lanternes cyniques antiques (achevée en 1984), je veux essayer de relire « Des espaces autres » non comme une hétérosémie imprécise mais comme une navigation vers la transformation du pessimisme caricaturalement prêté à Foucault en un courage de la vérité enthousiaste sortant les hommes de leur état de minorité. Cette relecture de la pessimiste hétérotopie en scandale volontaire contre-hétérotopique est une invitation créatrice au dire-vrai cynique laissant tout voir et tout entendre et apportant ses Lumières.
Les identités plurielles des personnages stigmatisés d’Elsa Morante
Authors: Sansoni Caterina
Published: October 2022

Pour étudier les interactions présentes dans les quatre romans d’Elsa Morante (Mensonge et sortilège, L’Île d’Arturo, La Storia et Aracoeli), nous avons eu recours à des notions tirées des études sociologiques d’Erving Goffman. Les concepts de stigmate, de régions postérieure et antérieure nous aident à analyser des personnages avec des signes de diversité, leurs manières d’interagir avec eux-mêmes et les autres. Il en résulte d’une part un approfondissement de la manière de traiter la notion d’identité (un croisement des images à renvoyer aux autres et de l’image que l’on se construit de soi-même), et d’autre part une réflexion sur le caractère essentiel des relations humaines qui fonde la déclinaison de réalisme mise en acte par Morante.
L’idéalisation des corps augmentés féminins au sein du transhumanisme : subordination, hyper-sexualisation et humanisation de la technique.
Authors: Calheiros Cécilia
Published: October 2022

Bénéficier d’une corporéité augmentée par les sciences et techniques est l’un des principaux horizons d’attentes du transhumanisme. À défaut de pouvoir modifier ses capacités et son apparence, l’iconographie du mouvement techno-politique expose des versions idéalisées de ces corps augmentés. Dans une perspective sociologique, cet article propose de questionner, au prisme du genre, la façon dont les transhumanistes appréhendent la notion de corps augmenté. Il s’agira d’abord de démontrer que le corps n’a, in fine, pas vocation à disparaître. Ensuite, nous montrerons qu’en dépit d’une idéologie prônant le dépassement des limites biologiques et celle de la binarité du genre, les représentations graphiques et les discours montrent au contraire des corps dont les fonctions sont socialement genrées. Nous analyserons donc pourquoi l’amélioration des corps masculins repose essentiellement sur la mécanisation du corps, alors que la problématique d’amélioration des corps féminins, principalement représentés sous la forme d’un robot anthropomorphe hyper-sexualisé, concerne l’humanisation de la technique par l’introduction d’une conscience.
Agentivité de migrants extra-européens face aux « frontières » juridiques dans le pays d’accueil : les réseaux comme ressources ?
Authors: Smit Sarah
Published: October 2022

Les frontières symbolisent ce qui sépare des groupes et des individus entre eux. Au-delà des frontières géographiques, certaines considérations politiques et juridiques différencient également les individus entre eux et jouent un rôle de frontière. Les politiques migratoires et leur catégorisation par le statut spécifique du droit au séjour, font partie de ces considérations et impactent fortement leurs conditions de vie, leur autonomie et leurs futures opportunités dans le pays d’accueil. Des études montrent que ces personnes ne sont cependant pas impuissantes face à ces frontières et qu’elles peuvent développer des stratégies pour y résister et s’y adapter dans l’objectif de poursuivre leurs projets et aspirations. Cela repose notamment sur leur capacité à mobiliser les ressources liées à leurs réseaux. Cet article vise à questionner les stratégies mises en place par ces personnes et les différentes formes de ressources qu’elles mobilisent, mais aussi à discuter l’accessibilité de celles-ci dans le contexte du pays d’accueil.
La file latente de la sortie de rue : les critères de l’attente
Authors: Carotenuto-Garot Aurélien
Published: October 2022

Depuis la fin des années 1970, en France, la population sans-domicile ne cesse d’augmenter. Face à ce constat, les pouvoirs publics développent un ensemble élaboré de dispositifs. La création des services intégrés d’accueil et d’orientation (SIAO) s’inscrit notamment dans cette tendance. Ceux-ci sont, entre autres, chargés de fluidifier les parcours de sortie de rue des sans-domicile dans un souci d’équité. Les SIAO sont-ils parvenus à introduire une plus grande équité dans la sortie de rue des sans-domicile ? L’objet de cet article consiste à établir un constat sociologique de la situation, notamment par la déconstruction des critères donnant accès à une voie rapide dans l’embouteillage de la sortie de rue. Il se base sur trois ans d’investigation au sein d’un SIAO d’Ile-de-France dans le cadre d’une convention industrielle de formation par la recherche (contrat CIFRE). Cette démarche d’investigation a permis de suivre 80 trajectoires de sans-domicile, saisir le point de vue des dispositifs d’insertion et obtenir un regard statistique sur les différentes dynamiques de sortie de rue.
La révolte de Besançon en 1451 ou l’ambiguïté politique, entre réappropriation de pratiques normatives et la tentative de production de normes
Authors: Lagalice Julien
Published: October 2022

Au lendemain de leur prise de pouvoir en février 1451, les révoltés de Besançon commencent leur implantation politique et normative. Si une inversion des normes sociales (pouvoir exercé par le « commun » avec la participation d’une partie du clergé, agitation nocturne inhabituelle et ville qui se ferme par des chaînes) et des paroles prônant la rupture avec le pouvoir précédent retiennent l’attention, les usages hérités des anciens gouverneurs chassés demeurent cependant importants. L’objectif de cet article est de montrer que le temps de troubles que constitue la révolte médiévale peut faire éclore une concurrence des normes (entre des formes anciennes et la volonté d’en instaurer des nouvelles), mais que l’équilibre trouvé demeure fragile en dépit de sa durée assez exceptionnelle (environ 7 mois). Toutefois, une partie de ces projets normatifs survivent à la révolte et s’imposent même sur le long terme, malgré une image très négative transmise par l’historiographie.
Être ou devoir être ? Quand l’identité devient une injonction. Le cas des Palestiniens en France
Authors: Mevel Ellie
Published: October 2022

Cet article repose sur un travail de terrain mené auprès de la diaspora palestinienne en France entre 2012 et 2016. La première partie aborde l’expérience partagée par les enquêtés : la révélation de leur identité palestinienne en exil produit souvent une injonction externe à se positionner vis-à-vis de leur origine. Cette expérience conduit certains Palestiniens à adopter des stratégies identitaires qui varient en fonction du contexte, de la situation d’interaction et de leur parcours migratoire. La seconde partie se focalise sur la sphère artistique. Les artistes, connus comme Palestiniens, peuvent difficilement se soustraire à cette identité par des stratégies de dissimulation. L’étude de ce milieu particulier illustre la façon dont les Palestiniens sont incités par l’environnement externe, notamment par les sphères militantes et artistiques, à prendre la parole « en tant que » et à devoir incarner la cause palestinienne.
Casualisation of Labour as Coping with Cyclone Aila: Peasants’ Perception in the Sundarbans Area of Bangladesh
Authors: BHUYAN MOHAMMAD HARUNUR RASHID
Published: October 2022

This paper investigates the coping processes of Bangladeshi peasants after the disaster of Cyclone Aila in 2009. The focus is on the experience of peasants and how they respond to the losses caused by the cyclone. Using 72 in-depth interviews with peasants, shrimp farmers, local leaders, labour contractors, engineers and NGO staff, and surveys of 850 households, this paper analyses the aftermath of Cyclone Aila in two villages in the Satkhira district located in the Sundarbans delta of Bangladesh. One of the villages, Gorkumarpur, was economically backward and poorer than Mollapara village because of its vulnerable geographical location and damaged embankments. By illustrating resilience as the function of coping with vulnerabilities, this paper finds that the peasants can cope with this natural calamity by taking up a range of casual jobs, such as earthwork and brick kiln, to improve their lives and livelihoods. Such casual employment is essential after the initial relief initiatives ended, which shows the ability of the local peasants to protect their family’s survival and secure livelihoods.

Optical Coherence Tomography Features Predicting the Response of Diabetic Macular Oedema to Treatment with Fluocinolne Acetonide Intravitreal Implant, a Cohort Study.
Authors: Hasam Hani , Hatoum Adam , Helmy Youssef , Hornan Daniel , Minos Evangelos
Published: October 2022

Purpose

We aimed to list the OCT features associated with good response to treatment with Iluvien (fluocinolone acetonide). Among these features we looked to describe the commonest OCT signs in patients with diabetic macular oedema and furthermore to correlate the change in visual acuity with the OCT changes.

Methods

This is a retrospective observational study including 17 eyes of 14 patients who were treated fluocinolone acetonide 0.19 mg intravitreal implant as a second line of treatment. OCT scans were obtained and LogMAR visual acuity data were collected on regular visits for 12 months before and 12 months after receiving the fluocinolone acetonide implant.

Results

At the end of the 12 months post-fluocinolone acetonide follow up period, there was a mean reduction of the CMT by 43.9 µm from the baseline (visit -12 months) and 158 µm from the time of treatment with fluocinolone acetonide, these are equivalent to 12% and 42%, respectively. The change in visual acuity was equivalent to +5 ETDRS letters compared to the baseline (visit -12 months) and +7.2 ETDRS letters compared to the time of treatment with fluocinolone acetonide.

We observed a significant reduction in inflammatory features seen in that time.

Conclusions

We showed that fluocinolone acetonide significantly reduced macular inflammatory signs, particularly the proportion of eyes with disorganization of retinal inner layers (DRIL) and hyper reflective foci at 12 months post-treatment.

Animal Eponyms in Eye Care
Authors: Hostia Alely , Wells Jeffrey Kyle , Vlad Alexandra , Hyatt Ruth , Eberle Darcy L. , Ho Son Thai
Published: October 2022

There are many eponyms derived from the animal world that help describe what is observed during an ophthalmological examination. These zoologically-based eponyms tell a story between the animal kingdom and the human eye. Medical nomenclature could be described as suffering from eponymophilia. Eponymous descriptions are ubiquitous in the field of medicine as seen in text in these fields: dermatology, neurology,and trichology. Eponyms, however practical, are profoundly affected by local geography and culture, which can contribute to confusion and misunderstanding, particularly amongst practitioners from different cultures and locations.

Deriving meaning from eponyms often necessitates ethnocentric or linguistically exclusive knowledge. While the debate surrounding whether to continue the use of eponyms in medicine roars on, to the authors’ knowledge, a review of animal eponyms used in ophthalmology has been limited, as such, this manuscript will review animal eponyms encountered in ophthalmology and optometry with the aim to clarify meaning and provide a useful reference for practicing and trainee eye physicians.

As this work was undertaken to review commonly encountered conditions, no detailed pathophysiology will be described as it is beyond the scope of this article. Of note, not all eponyms reviewed are based on physical appearances (e.g. chicken eyes).

Authors: Branca Victoria , Hunter Amanda , Raposo Fatima , Greenberg Paul B. , Janigian Robert H. , Goman-Baskin Elina
Published: October 2022

Purpose:

To report a case of posterior scleritis presumed secondary to sarcoidosis.

Results:

A 79-year-old male with a history of sarcoidosis presented with asymptomatic conjunctival injection and chemosis of the right eye. The patient presumptively was diagnosed with anterior scleritis of the right eye. At a follow-up visit, examination and diagnostic imaging revealed choroidal folds and increased choroidal thickness. He was diagnosed with posterior scleritis presumed secondary to sarcoidosis in the right eye. The patient was started on topical and oral steroids and the choroidal thickness and folds improved at one-week follow-up.

Conclusion:

Posterior scleritis is an unusual manifestation of sarcoidosis, but it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with sarcoidosis who present with a red, painful eye, and choroidal folds and thickening.

Malignant Facial Neoplasms Detected During the Comprehensive Optometry Exam
Authors: Wilderson Leslie R. , Khosla Sujata
Published: October 2022

Skin carcinomas are the result of the malignant proliferation of epithelial keratinocytes.

The two most common nonmelanoma skin cancers are basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma and the latter has the potential to metastasize and cause morbidity and mortality.

During the comprehensive eye exam, clinicians have an opportunity to conduct a visual inspection of the face to detect skin cancers that may be

undiagnosed.

The optometrist is trained to detect and describe malignant lesions of the eyelids and periorbital region, and so, extending the exam to include the detection of facial neoplasms can be a life-saving measure.

Macular Telangiectasia Type 2: Case Report and Clinical Review
Authors: Mangum Andrew J.
Published: October 2022

Background:

Macular telangiectasia type 2 is a bilateral condition of unknown etiology, typically manifesting during the fourth to sixth decades of life. Its prevalence is likely underestimated as there is low disease awareness, both amongst clinicians and patients, and it is often misdiagnosed as age-related macular degeneration in later stages. It is important to understand the pathophysiology, natural history, prognosis, and potential complications to manage this condition properly and provide accurate patient education.

Case Report:

A 75-year-old white male presented with gradual worsening of vision at all distances for years. Fundus examination revealed bilateral foveal circular red spot with parafoveal pigment clumping in the left eye along with bilateral scattered refractile crystalline deposits. Optical coherence tomography of the macula revealed internal limiting membrane drape in both eyes with focal disruptions to the ellipsoid zone in the left eye. Optical coherence tomography angiography revealed telangiectatic vessels, evident in the superficial and deep plexus, increased intervascular spaces involving the superficial and deep plexus, as well as right-angled vessels and foveal avascular zone irregularities. There was no evidence of progression to proliferative disease and the patient’s vision had remained stable for six years.

Conclusion:

Macula telangiectasia type 2 is a neurodegenerative disease with the potential to cause vision loss. Newer imaging modalities, specifically optical coherence tomography and optical coherence tomography angiography, have become important diagnostic tools and useful in identifying this disease at earlier stages and differentiating it from other macular degenerative conditions.

Ocular Syphilis with HIV Co-infection
Authors: Partieli Michelle , Yiasemis Andrea
Published: October 2022

Background:

Syphilis is caused by the spirochete bacterium Treponema pallidum, and manifests in a broad range of ocular clinical presentations. The most common risk factors for syphilis and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection include participating in unprotected sex and having sex with multiple partners. Among the population of men who have sex with men (MSM), syphilis is diagnosed more often in patients who have been previously diagnosed with HIV.

Case Reports:

We present 2 case reports of patients presenting to the eye clinic with complaints of foggy vision. Clinical examination revealed keratic precipitates, vitritis and swollen optic nerves. Both patients had a prior diagnosis of HIV and were not currently on treatment with antiretroviral therapy. Additional workup in both cases resulted in a diagnosis of neurosyphilis secondary to optic nerve involvement.

Conclusion:

Routine eye screening and treatment in patients diagnosed with HIV and/or

syphilis is important in minimizing the likelihood of irreversible vision loss. It is recommended that all patients with syphilis be tested for HIV due to the close association between the two infections, as well as possible progression to neurosyphilis.

Pickleball Associated Abrasion and Iritis: A Case Study
Authors: Dang Vin T. , Alkawally Mariam
Published: October 2022

Pickleball is a fast-growing sport in the US over the past decade. It is a singles or doubles volley sport combining tennis, badminton, and ping-pong. It utilizes a paddle and a small plastic whiffle ball on a court similar to but much smaller than a tennis court. Like other volley sports, the light, high velocity ball poses a risk of ocular injuries, as well as other facial, and musculoskeletal injuries. In this report, we describe the case of a 39-year-old male presenting with trauma secondary to a direct hit to the eye by a pickleball at high velocity. Despite a large corneal abrasion and traumatic iritis, the patient quickly healed with no scarring or permanent effects to his vision. Nonetheless, this case highlights the importance of patient education on protective eye wear, and the importance of immediately seeking clinical help of an eyecare professional for treatment after an accident. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of an anterior segment related injury related to pickleball.

Case Report of a Retinal Arterial Macroaneurysm Using Diagnostic Optical Coherence Tomography and Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography
Authors: Wilderson Leslie R. , Miller Rachel Y. , Reynolds Sherrol , Khosla Sujata K.
Published: October 2022

Retinal arterial macroaneurysm (RAM) is a focal dilation of a retinal arteriole. The rupture of a macroaneurysm may occur spontaneously with varying degrees of retinal hemorrhage, exudation and edema. A case of retinal arterial macroaneurysm is presented with use of optical coherence tomography (OCT) and optical coherence angiography (OCTA) imaging to provide diagnostic information in a fundus obscured by a dense multilayer hemorrhage.

Scanning Outside the Box: Utilizing Peripheral OCT to Differentiate Subclinical Retinal Detachment, Retinoschisis, and White Without Pressure
Authors: Hayne Jessica
Published: October 2022

Introduction:

No physician wants to misdiagnose a patient with retinal detachment, creating a low threshold for referral of suspicious peripheral retinal lesions. Conditions such as eripheral retinoschisis and white without pressure (WWOP) can raise alarm in the clinical examination for possible subclinical retinal detachment (SCRD). Utilization of optical coherence tomography (OCT) may be used to obtain images of the peripheral retina, and can aid in the differentiation of SCRD from the less ominous presentations of peripheral retinoschisis and WWOP.

Case Series:

This case series will explore peripheral OCT findings in each of these conditions and help the practitioner to use this valuable tool to improve patient care.

Discussion:

Peripheral OCT imaging can be used to help differentiate the findings of SCRD, retinoschisis, and white without pressure. This is important as SCRD typically requires treatment, while retinoschisis and white without pressure can be monitored.

Ocular Ischemic Syndrome: A Brief Review
Authors: Almosawy Hyder J. , Mega Joseph V. , Greenberg Paul B. , Messina Claire , Hunter Amanda
Published: October 2022

We review the etiology, characteristics and management of ocular ischemic syndrome (OIS). Ocular ischemic syndrome is a visual-threatening condition closely linked to advanced cardiovascular disease. Patients with OIS are at risk for ocular neovascularization and carotid artery stenosis. Diagnostic testing to confirm the diagnosis of OIS must be done in order to properly determine treatment and management options for these patients as the risk for permanent visual loss is greater with higher levels of ischemia and advanced cardiovascular disease. Coordination of care with the patient’s primary care provider is necessary to optimize the patient’s cardiovascular risk factors and determine the most appropriate medical and/or surgical treatment.

The Spectrum of Pigment Dispersion: A Case Report and Topic Review
Authors: Rixon Andrew J. , Sanderson Jennifer A , Williamson James
Published: October 2022

Introduction:

The spectrum of disease including pigment dispersion syndrome and pigmentary glaucoma is wide and its potentially rapid progression can affect quality of life if not accurately classified and appropriately managed. Case Presentation: This case report involves a patient with unilateral pigment dispersion syndrome and contralateral

pigmentary glaucoma.

Management and Outcome:

Vigilant monitoring and longitudinal analysis of this case of secondary open angle glaucoma determined that he was not a rapid progressor and treatment did not need to be intensified.

Discussion:

Pigmentary glaucoma is, on average, a more aggressive form of disease and should therefore by managed with the appropriate amount of reverence. The velocity of the

disease’s progression and risk of functional vision loss will guide the clinician on how intensive the medical or surgical intervention should be.

Reproducibility of Mobile Auto Refractor Measurements in a Colombian Children Population
Authors: Flórez Diana Cristina Palencia , Vera María Alejandra Calderón , Caicedo Diana Carolina Navarro , Chávez Yury Paola Muñoz , Hernández Yerli Katherine García
Published: October 2022

Purpose: To Evaluate the inter-observer reproducibility of a mobile pediatric auto refractor in an infant Colombian population.

Methodology:

Quantitative longitudinal prospective study. Variables of age, sex, ocular history and refractive defect were measured. The sample size was estimated assuming as values of the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). The descriptive statistical analysis of the variables was performed and the ICC was calculated to evaluate the reproducibility of the data taken independently by two examiners.

Results: 138 participants were included, median age was 42 months. 51% of the sample were females and hypermetropic astigmatism was the prevalent refractive defect with a 67.39% occurrence. The ICC for sphere, cylinder and axis, showed an almost perfect degree of agreement.

Conclusions:

A mobile pediatric auto refractor brings reliable data when evaluating the refractive status without cycloplegia in children aged 24-67 months. Although it is suggested to classify the refractive error as the average of three consecutive measurements and correlate the result with the clinical history of optometry to define the final formula.
