conclusions to our knowledge, kd presenting with unilateral conjunctivitis and oculoglandular syndrome is not reported to date. g iven that delay in diagnosis and treatment of kd can cause serious cardiac complications, the diagnosis of kawasaki disease should be considered in such cases. case presentation in this report, we describe a 12-year-old boy presenting with prolonged fever, unilateral...

purpose: to evaluate the role of anxiety in idiopathic acute anterior uveitis. methods: in this case-control study, three groups including 30 patients with uveitis, 30 patients with conjunctivitis, and 30 healthy controls were enrolled for estimating the anxiety level by employing zung anxiety assessment and a structured clinical interview. t test and chi square test were used for statistical a...

BACKGROUND/AIMS It is reported by the national surveillance of ocular infectious diseases in Japan that 4.3% of cases of epidemic keratoconjunctivitis (EKC) diagnosed clinically were caused by herpes simplex virus (HSV). Clinical and virological studies of patients with HSV conjunctivitis were carried out. METHODS The study population consisted of 478 patients with acute follicular conjunctiv...

Parasite infections can influence host foraging behavior, movement, or social interactions. House finches (Carpodacus mexicanus) in the US are susceptible to a recently emerged strain of the bacteria, Mycoplasma gallisepticum. Infected birds develop mild to severe conjunctivitis that could affect their foraging or social behavior. We videotaped house finches with and without conjunctivitis at a...

Purpose We sought to determine whether big data from social media might reveal seasonal trends of conjunctivitis, most forms of which are nonreportable. Methods Social media posts (from Twitter, and from online forums and blogs) were classified by age and by conjunctivitis type (allergic or infectious) using Boolean and machine learning methods. Based on spline smoothing, we estimated the cir...

Tumors of the pancreas that contain substantial cystic components include mainly mucinous cystic neoplasm, intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm, solid pseudopapillary tumor, and cystadenomas (which encompass microcystic, macrocystic/oligocystic, and rare solid serous adenomas). Microcystic adenoma of the pancreas is a tumor that is benign in nature. Malignant transformation in the tumor with...

Albumin surface deposits were significantly higher on contact lenses from subjects with CLPC (p<0.0001, Figure 5). m Lenses from six of the CLPC subjects were analysed prior to the event. There was no difference in the amount of HSA on these lenses compared to the CLPC lenses. m Lactoferrin amounts were not significantly different between the CLPC and non-CLPC groups (Figure 6). m The amount of...

BACKGROUND Cystic papillary thyroid carcinoma (CPTC) is a variant of papillary carcinoma that has many mimickers in cytological grounds. AIM To study the cytomorphologic features of CPTC and compare them to those of other cystic thyroid lesions using fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC). We also aimed to identify the cytomorphologic features that distinguish CPTC from other cystic thyroid l...

We report a case of a granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)-producing gallbladder tumor associated with fever in a middle-aged female. Preoperative blood analysis showed leukocytosis with elevated levels of C-reactive protein and G-CSF. We resected the liver at S4a＋S5, with regional lymph node dissection and partial resection of the duodenum. Histology revealed undifferentiated carcinom...
