Hypothetical proposal for the course of retinal blood vessels in the posterior pole—description and its clinical implications
Authors: Venkatesh Pradeep 
Published: December 2023

Background: Branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) is the second-most common retinal vascular disorder. Arteriosclerotic changes at the site of obstruction and hemodynamic turbulence within the vessels are considered risk factors. Overcrossing of the vein by an artery has traditionally been considered to increase the risk of BRVO. Recent studies using optical coherence tomography and optical coherence tomography angiography have suggested a higher prevalence of vein-over-artery crossings in this disease. Nevertheless, uncertainty persists as to why some patients, even those with the same disease duration, have varying degrees of venous dilation and develop sufficient collaterals, while others develop substantial ischemia and its sequelae.
Hypothesis: Herein, it is hypothesized that because retinal blood vessels are transparent, tubular, and collapsible conduits coursing over a hollow spherical surface, the changes related to AV crossings over the entire course of a vessel, rather than at any single isolated crossing, could contribute to the risk, natural progression, and outcomes of BRVO. The study analyzed color fundus photographs from two image datasets. The first dataset comprised 100 randomly selected images from the author’s own collection at the Rajendra Prasad Center for Ophthalmic Sciences. The second dataset comprised 100 images from the MESSIDOR database; three images were excluded owing to poor focus. Using 394 observations from 197 retinal photographs, four distinct patterns of AV crossing along the course of blood vessels were recognized: (A and B) wicker basket, (C) straight, (D) widely spaced, and (E) indeterminate. The percentages of tight wicker, loose wicker, straight, widely spaced, and indeterminate patterns in the two image sets were 19% (38/200) and 16.5% (32/194), 22.5% (45/200) and 27.8% (54/194), 16.5% (33/200) and 15.5% (30/194), 22.5% (45/200) and 28.4% (55/194), and 19.5% (39/200) and 11.9% (23/194), respectively. Hence, the wicker basket pattern was the most common AV crossing pattern in both image sets.
Conclusions: The wicker basket pattern may provide structural stability and aid in maintaining pressure gradients within the retinal vascular bed. This observation of variable AV relationships at consecutive crossings may improve our understanding of the pathogenesis, natural history, and outcomes of BRVO. Future longitudinal studies including patients at risk of BRVO, or retrospective analyses of patients with BRVO who had ophthalmic examinations and archived fundus images before the vascular event, should verify the relevance of these observed vascular patterns.
“Una historia de Vandalia”: El Abencerraje pastoril en La Diana de Montemayor
Authors: Torres Corominas Eduardo 
Published: December 2023

RESUMEN: El artículo indaga acerca de las circunstancias históricas, editoriales y literarias que propiciaron la elaboración de una versión ‘pastoril’ de El Abencerraje para su interpolación al final del libro IV de La Diana de Jorge de Montemayor. Tras analizar la incorporación del relato morisco a la secuencia editorial del texto pastoril, su génesis literaria, los mecanismos de composición y su función en la estructura de La Diana, el trabajo ofrece una hipótesis razonada acerca de lo sucedido que justificaría la preparación de una nueva edición crítica conjunta de ambas obras. ABSTRACT: This article explores the historical, editorial and literary circumstances that propitiated the elaboration of a ‘pastoral’ version of El Abencerraje for its interpolation at the end of Book IV of La Diana by Jorge de Montemayor. After analysing the incorporation of the Moorish tale into the editorial sequence of the pastoral text, its literary genesis, the mechanisms of composition and its function in the structure of La Diana, the work offers a reasoned hypothesis about what happened that would justify the preparation of a new critical edition of both works.

Leyendo de un cuaderno. Interpolar novelas escritas
Authors: Núñez Rivera Valentín 
Published: December 2023

RESUMEN: El presente artículo pretende estudiar el modo de inserción novelesca en el que un texto escrito se lee en voz alta, con apariencia de ser una verdadera ficción, producida por un sujeto literario con plena conciencia del arte de novelar, aunque también se tiene en cuenta, como referencia comparativa, algunos casos de narraciones orales de novelas o de su lectura en tiempo presente. En primer lugar, se atenderá a los insertos escritos en narraciones exentas durante el trecho cronológico que va desde el Guzmán (1599-1604) al Quijote y su apócrifo, pasando por las Novelas ejemplares y luego se procederá al estudio de algunas colecciones de novelas con interpolación de relatos escritos. En este sentido, se analizarán varias colecciones de Salas Barbadillo y de Castillo Solórzano en una cronología que abarcaría entonces desde 1615, coincidiendo con el segundo Quijote, a 1626. Se concluirá con el caso de un interesante ejemplo de Castillo, La garduña de Sevilla, ya de 1642. ABSTRACT: This article studies the mode of novelistic insertion in which a written text is read aloud, with the appearance of being a true fiction, produced by a literary subject fully aware of the art of novelizing. However, as a comparative reference, some cases of oral narrations of novels or their reading in the present tense are also taken into account. In the first place, we will deal with the inserts written in exempt narrations during the chronological stretch that goes from the Guzmán (1599-1604) to Don Quixote and its apocryphon, passing through the Novelas ejemplares. Then, we will proceed to the study of some collections of novels with interpolation of written stories. In this sense, several collections by Salas Barbadillo and Castillo Solórzano will be analyzed in a chronology that would cover from 1615 (coinciding with the second Quixote) to 1626. We will conclude with the case of an interesting example by Castillo, La garduña de Sevilla, from 1642.

Published: December 2023

Background: In the history of epidemics in Africa, many infections were considered as fatal to human beings and for that combined actions are required to save millions of lives in the continent. HIV/AIDS virus remained a major risk factor to the social and economic life in Africa next to many other infections. In this mini review, we aimed to examine four solid matters. First, we are going to analyze the origins of HIV/AIDS in Africa. Second, we will assess the history of HIV/AIDS. Third, we will study prevention of HIV infections. Fourth, we are going to look on regional prevalence of HIV/AIDS in Africa. Methods: To study the persistent epidemic of AIDS in Africa we will track the history of disease and will focus on the origin and the begging of the first wave of infecting. The mini review was based on early studies and literature on this epidemic and other official reports and studies that were done by scholars. Results: HIV/AIDS is a disease and health phenomenon prevalent in Africa. It is the most dangerous epidemic on the African continent. It has been observed that there is a lot of misery and suffering among Africans caused by HIV/AIDS. The HIV/AIDS epidemic will continue to have wide-ranging harmful effects on social and economic development for later years. Conclusion: This paper focused on HIV / AIDS as a dangerous phenomenon. This virus is no longer a simple health issue. This Africa's attempts to reduce hunger and increase living standards have been badly affected by decades of development because of HIV/AIDS.

Objective: This case report presents the clinical and genetic findings in a one-week-old male patient with Cornelia de Lange Syndrome (CdLS) and unilateral cleft palate with a review of literature which includes case reports with cleft lip and palate.
Case Presentation: The patient exhibited characteristic facial dysmorphism, including a low-set hairline, long and bushy unibrow, inclined nose with anteverted nostrils, long philtrum, thin lips, and micrognathia. Upper limb malformations, genitourinary anomalies, and hirsutism were also present. The patient underwent comprehensive follow-up for five months, during which an alginate impression was taken to aid intraoral feeding, and a plaster model was prepared for the construction of an obturator, an essential component of the cleft palate management plan. The treatment plan involved multidisciplinary collaboration, including pre-surgical orthodontic preparation, evaluation of dental anomalies, surgical intervention with an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, post-operative care, and monitoring. Post-surgical orthodontic treatment and speech therapy were planned for later stages, followed by fine-tuning and a retention plan for long-term stability.
Conclusion: CdLS is a complex genetic disorder characterized by various physical abnormalities. This case report demonstrated the management of a one-week-old male patient with CdLS and unilateral cleft palate through a comprehensive multidisciplinary approach. Early intervention, personalized treatment plans, and long-term follow-up are crucial for addressing dental and maxillofacial complications associated with cleft palate in CdLS patients. Collaborative efforts among specialists yield optimal outcomes, improving the quality of life for individuals with CdLS and cleft palate.

The effect of synergistic Candida albicans infection with P63 protein expression on the development of oral carcinom
Authors: Mohammed Muhsin Jasim , Fattah Ibrahim Al-Attraqchi Azhar Abdel , Jumaah Qasim Ban 
Published: December 2023

Oral cancer accounts for 2-4% of all cancer cases. There is compelling evidence that suggest that Candida may influence the development of oral cancer by interfering with the expression of the Tp63 gene, which is crucial for tumor progression, and promotes proliferation. The goal was to assess the p63 expression, compare it qualitatively and quantitatively in a normal buccal mucosa, epithelial dysplasia, leukoplakia, and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), and also determine how does it relate to the Candida albicans infection. A retrospective cross-sectional study of 100 Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded (FFPE) cases and controls were studied, and they were divided into four groups: Group I, included 40 controls with normal oral mucosa; Group II, included 20 cases of dysplasia; Group III, included 20 cases of leukoplakia, and Group IV, included 20 cases of OSCC. C. albicans was examined by Real-Time PCR based on Erg11 gene and the immunohistochemical expression of p63 protein. Significant overexpression of p63 and positive PCR results of C. albicans were seen in noninvasive lesions (leukoplakia, epithelial dysplasia) and invasive OSCCs with an increased suprabasal expression in cases of leukoplakia and epithelial dysplasia. The mean of labeling index (LI) of p63 with C. albicans positive cases were found to be in increasing order from normal oral mucosa than leukoplakia and dysplasia to OSCC. These findings point to p63 association with oral carcinogenesis and candidal infection, and they also imply that dysplastic and leukoplakia lesions may have the ability to serve as a signal for oral premalignancy due to increased LI and higher suprabasal expression of this gene.
KEY WORDS: Candida albicans; epithelial dysplasia; Erg11; leukoplakia; p63 protein.
