Ophthalmological involvement in rosacea: Ocular rosacea
Authors: Kansal Naveen Kumar , Singh Anupam , Kumar Barun 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Rosacea is a common, chronic disorder that can present with a variety of cutaneous or ocular manifestations. Cutaneous involvement primarily affects the central face, with findings, such as persistent centrofacial redness, papulopustules, flushing, telangiectasia, and phymatous skin changes (e.g., rhinophyma). Ocular involvement may manifest with lid margin telangiectases, conjunctival injection, ocular irritation, or other signs and symptoms. In this review, we focus on the ophthalmological manifestations of rosacea and its management.
Eccrine hidrocystomas: A distinct clinicopathologic entity and a potential mimicker of malignancy—A case series with a review of the literature
Authors: Singh Hem Narayan , Dogra Natasha , Shelly Divya , Das Amit Kumar , Pant Manoj 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

Purpose:
Eccrine hidrocystomas are a rare, benign cystic lesion of the skin primarily found in the head and neck region, with a predilection for the periorbital area in adult females. These cysts typically present as small, tense, thin-walled structures ranging from 1 to 6 mm in size, occurring either as solitary entities or in multiples. Despite their benign nature, eccrine hidrocystomas pose diagnostic challenges due to their resemblance to malignant lesions both clinically and in imaging studies. This study aims to explore the varied clinical presentations of eccrine hidrocystoma and discuss the complexities associated with its diagnosis.

Materials and Methods:
Five cases were included in the study along with a comprehensive review of the existing literature. We emphasize the importance of accurate and early diagnosis for appropriate management. The clinical manifestations of eccrine hidrocystoma often overlap with features suggestive of malignancy, underscoring the necessity for meticulous histopathological examination to definitively differentiate between these entities. This differentiation is crucial as it impacts treatment decisions and patient outcomes.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, our study underscores the diagnostic dilemmas posed by eccrine hidrocystoma, highlights its potential mimicry of malignancy, and emphasizes the significance of histopathological evaluation in achieving accurate diagnosis and guiding management strategies.
Exploring central serous chorioretinopathy: Insights from a series of pigment epithelial detachment cases
Authors: Gayatri Dasari , Bharadwaj Vedula 
Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT

Aim:
This study aimed to investigate central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) by analyzing clinical patterns using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).

Methods:
A retrospective study on individuals diagnosed with CSCR was conducted at the Gitam Institute of Medical Sciences and Research between January 2022 and December 2022. Comprehensive medical and ocular histories were documented, including best-corrected visual acuity, slit-lamp examination, indirect ophthalmoscopy, and SD-OCT analysis. Macular thickness and the presence of pigment epithelial detachments (PED) were carefully recorded, while patients with other macular conditions were excluded.

Results:
The study comprised nine patients (nine eyes) aged 31 to 48 (mean age: 41.33). Of these, seven were male (77.78%), and two were female (22.22%). Three cases (33.33%) affected the left eye, while six (66.67%) involved the right eye—the mean macular thickness measured 502.56 μm, from 406 to 819 μm. Notably, five out of the nine eyes exhibited PEDs. Among these cases with PED, four of the five eyes demonstrated macular thickness exceeding 482 μm, with only one eye measuring 406 μm in thickness.

Conclusion:
CSCR predominantly affects males at an average age of 41. The integration of SD-OCT with indirect ophthalmoscopy is imperative for comprehending CSCR patterns. The substantial variation in macular thickness underscores the necessity for individualized assessment and treatment strategies. The presence of PED correlates with heightened macular thickness, potentially influencing recovery duration and visual acuity outcomes. While this study contributes to the existing knowledge base, further extensive research is essential to validate and enhance our understanding of CSCR.

Authors: Kannuri Sriram , Patil Rajashri , Mukhida Sahjid , Shinde Archana , Akmar Gajanan , Methe Bhagwan , Bhaumik Shalini , Das Nikunjakumar 
Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT

Context:
A person caught by police known as a Medical Legal Case (MLC) should be negative for Covid-19 before they are presented in court. Police officers always insist on collecting a sample from MLC patients for both the rapid antigen test (RAT) and reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RTPCR). Using both tests for the same patient at the same time is a waste of resources. The aim of the study is to analyze and compare Covid-19 RAT and RTPCR testing results in MLC cases and to find out the need to prevent resource wasting due to dual tests.

Methods:
The study was conducted for 6 months on all the MLC patients who were brought by the police officer for Covid-19 testing at the center. Oropharyngeal or nasopharyngeal swabs were collected in viral transport media for Covid-19 RTPCR and RAT test. RAT is performed at the collection center, while viral transport media is transported to an authorized testing center for RTPCR.

Result:
All 156 patients’ RAT and RTPCR tests were performed as per requirements and rules. Only two specimens (1.28%) reported positive for Covid-19 in RTPCR and other samples (98.71%) reported negative for Covid-19 in RTPCR, while all 156 samples (100%) were reported negative for Covid-19 by RAT test.

Conclusion:
As per the current study, we can consider the RAT results for presenting the criminal person to court, but for sending them to prison, RTPCR is recommended to prevent the spread of disease.

Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic prototypic autoimmune disorder characterized by the inflammatory and autoimmune reaction leading to protean systemic manifestations. The incidence of childhood-onset SLE has been estimated at an average of 0.6 per 1,00,000 children-years. Childhood-onset SLE has an aggressive course with renal and nervous systems being more involved than in adults. The latest validated Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics (SLICC) criteria, which exhibited a higher sensitivity includes eleven clinical and six immunological items. This criteria has been validated in children. A multidisciplinary therapeutic approach is important due to the complexity of lupus in pediatric patients. We report a case of 12-year-old female child diagnosed as SLE due to its rare occurrence in the pediatric age group.

Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT

Background:
ST elevation acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is usually associated with marked morbidity and mortality, affecting both young and elderly populations.

Aims:
To compare the differences in clinical presentation, treatment, outcome, and comorbidity in elderly and young patients of ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

Methods:
A prospective study was conducted on 60 patients divided equally into two groups – above 60 years (Group A) and 60 years or below (Group B). The various parameters including clinical presentation, time of onset, type of AMI, medication, complications, and outcome were assessed. They were followed up for 1 month.

Results:
The proportion of males and females (M:F) was equal in Group A, and the M:F ratio was 2.75 in Group B. The mean duration of hospitalization was longer in elderly. Hypertension was the most common comorbid condition. About half of the elderly cohort had previous history of angina pectoris, and about one third had prior attacks of MI. Overall, a higher number of younger cohorts were thrombolyzed with streptokinase.

Conclusion:
Our study showed that there were noteworthy differences in clinical presentation, management, and outcome between elderly and young AMI patients. Early recognition of atypical features among elderly can lead to effective strategies and timely management.

Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT

Objectives:
Here, we report the distribution of HLA-DPB1 alleles studied in a cohort of 55 randomly collected blood samples from unrelated Taiwanese individuals and the deduced most likely HLA haplotypes associated with the defined DPB1 alleles in the cohort. Our aim is to reveal the unprecedented data on the distribution of HLA-DPB1 alleles in the Taiwanese population and to find out the most probable HLA haplotypes associated with the HLA-DPB1 alleles detected.

Materials and Methods:
The material for this study was blood samples, preserved in K2EDTA and/or acid citrate dextrose anticoagulants. The blood donors were voluntary individuals of Tzu Chi Bone Marrow Donor Registry, Tzu Chi Stem Cells Center, Hualien Tzu Chi Hospital. Sequence-based typing of the Sanger’s sequencing method was performed for the HLA allelic typing. To discern the HLA-DPB1 alleles, exons 2 and 3 of the HLA-DPB1 locus were sequenced. Target exon sequence amplifications were achieved by polymerase chain reaction, and the resulting amplicons were sequenced by BigDye Terminator Cycle Sequencing Ready Reaction Kit according to the manufacturer’s protocols.

Results:
In the total number of 55 randomized unrelated Taiwanese individuals studied, we detected 11 different HLA-DPB1 alleles. DPB1*05:01 (44.54%) was the allele with the highest frequency observed and the next highest frequency allele found was DPB1*02:01 (17.27%), while DPB1*38:01 (0.90%) and DPB1*700:01N (0.90%) ranked the least observed DPB1 alleles.

Conclusion:
Our findings in this study may be useful in researches reinforcing the comprehensive understanding on the distribution of DPB1 alleles and their associated HLA haplotypes and their clinical applications in Taiwanese.
Use of iodine-125 episcleral brachytherapy treatment for circumscribed choroidal hemangioma in a pediatric patient
Authors: Benvenuto Franco , Guillen Soledad , Sgroi Mariana , Jimenez-Romo Carlos , Fandiño Adriana 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
The purpose of this report is to highlight the results of iodine-125 episcleral plaque radiotherapy for the treatment of circumscribed choroidal hemangiomas (CCHs) as an alternative to photodynamic therapy. CCH are rare benign vascular hamartomas without systemic associations. We herein describe the treatment of a case of a pediatric patient with CCH associated with an exudative retinal detachment. His treatment consisted of brachytherapy with a plaque loaded with 125 Iodine seeds with a target apex dose of 40 Gy. Preoperative visual acuity (VA) in the affected right eye was 20/800. After treatment and for 24 months of follow-up, the VA improved to 20/200, with no signs of radiation retinopathy or recurrence of subretinal fluid. The favorable visual results, resolution of exudative retinal detachments, and the low rate of side effects lead us to conclude that iodine-125 episcleral brachytherapy should be considered in large tumors, those with a subfoveal location or the presence of extensive subretinal fluid.
Leveraging markup to process narrative recipes
Authors: Flynn Peter 
Published: July 2024

In two earlier papers I described the implementation of ‘℞’ (pronounced /ˈɹɛs.ɪ.pē/ ‘reSEEpay’), an XML/XSLT system for checking and reproducing structured cookery recipes. Since then, work has been ongoing: a) to refine the categories used in the metadata; b) to improve the implementation in CSS; and c) to extend the markup to narrative recipes encoded in other schemas. This paper describes the third of these, with a working implementation in TEI P5. The categorization task is out of scope for markup conferences, and is best discussed over a good dinner (the CSS is in scope but barely addressed here).
DTD (document type definition) declarations exposed in XSLT
Authors: Quin Liam 
Published: July 2024

The XML specification defines a syntax for, and semantics for, a document type definition (DTD). An XML document can optionally reference a DTD, which it does by means of a document type declaration. The DTD may contain constraints on the elements that can be found in the XML document, and what attributes they may contain. It may also define entities, which associate names with strings or with external resources such as XML fragments or images. The constraints can be checked using a process termed validation.
The XML Data Model (XDM) does not expose declarations found in a document’s document type definition. As a result, XSLT stylesheets, XPath expressions, XQuery expressions, and anything else using the XDM, cannot reference them.
Sometimes one might want (or need) to access declarations from a DTD. The author in the past has written programs in procedural languages such as C or Perl in order to access such declarations.
This paper describes an XSLT stylesheet that parses DTD syntax and constructs a simple XML representation that can then be processed using XSLT or other XML-aware languages directly.
Some use cases and examples are given. The work is publicly available on gitlab.
