Application of cross-polarization imaging in distinguishing between squamous and columnar epithelium of the cervix
In this study, we present the potential of polarized light in enhancing diagnostics through cross-polarization imaging for the identification and contrast enhancement of squamous and columnar epithelium (CE) in cases of cervical ectropion. Our results demonstrate that polarized light colposcopy offers valuable diagnostic information that complements traditional colposcopy. By effectively reducing glare and improving visibility during cervical examinations, polarized light colposcopy proves to be a useful tool. Furthermore, we introduce a novel method that practically enhances the contrast ratio (CR) between columnar and sq...

Evaluation of dry eye disease and corneal epithelial mapping in patients with lower eyelid ectropion
ConclusionPatients with lower eyelid ectropion had worse ocular surface findings and more ocular complaints. Furthermore, the inferior and inferior nasal CETs were thinner in patients with lower ectropion. (Source: International Ophthalmology)

Resolution of Pityriasis rubra pilaris induced ectropion with oral dexamethasone. A case report
Orbit. 2024 Feb 6:1-3. doi: 10.1080/01676830.2024.2311657. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAn 82-year-old male presented with generalised Pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP) managed initially by dermatology team. The patient did not respond to first- and second-line treatment, including oral acitretin, steroid creams, and methotrexate, and developed bilateral cicatricial ectropion, for which he was referred to oculoplastic team for surgical management. A head injury resulting in subacute subdural haematoma, managed with a week course of low dose oral dexamethasone, resulted in the improvement of his skin condition and complete re...

Ectropion
Tidsskr Nor Laegeforen. 2024 Jan 17;144(1). doi: 10.4045/tidsskr.23.0309. Print 2024 Jan 23.ABSTRACTIn ectropion, the eyelid margin - typically the lower eyelid - is turned outward. This condition is becoming increasingly common due to the ageing population. Ectropion is classified as either acquired or congenital, with the former being the most prevalent. Acquired ectropion is further divided into involutional, paralytic, mechanical and cicatricial subtypes. Involutional ectropion is the most common where there is no patient population bias. This clinical review provides an overview of ectropion.PMID:38258716 | DOI:10.404...

Ultrasonic cavitation induced Vibrio parahaemolyticus entering an apoptosis-like death process through SOS response
In conclusion, the biological lethal effect of ultrasound treatment is not solely a mechanical cell necrosis process as traditionally viewed, but also a programmed cell death process regulated by cellular adaptation. This enriched the biological effect pathway of ultrasound sterilization.PMID:38245921 | PMC:PMC10830854 | DOI:10.1016/j.ultsonch.2024.106771 (Source: Ultrasonics Sonochemistry)

Characteristics of cervical cancer caused by the human papillomavirus 18 and its genetic variations in Vietnamese women
CONCLUSION: Patients with a single HPV18 infection have a higher risk of cervical cancer than those infected with HPV18 and other high-risk strains simultaneously. HPV18 single-infection, on the other hand, had considerably higher incidences of L/HSIL, SCC, AC, and CIS than HPV18 co-infection. The HPV18 strain that was found in Vietnam belonged to lineage A (A1 and A5), which contains several oncogene mutations.PMID:38176603 | DOI:10.1016/j.meegid.2023.105546 (Source: Infection, Genetics and Evolution)
