Seven cases are reported from Australia of benign granulomas of the conjunctiva occurring principally in children. Conjunctival granulomas of this kind have not previously been recorded in Australia. Both clinically and histologically they are identical to those described by Ashton and Cook as allergic granulomas of the conjunctiva exhibiting the Splendore-Hoeppli phenomenon.

PURPOSE Mucins are important structural and functional components of the precorneal tear film, yet little is known of their composition and synthesis. The mRNAs of MUC1, MUC4, and MUC5AC have previously been identified in human conjunctiva. Of these, only MUC5AC mRNA appears to be associated with goblet cells. The purpose of the this study was to quantify MUC5AC transcript levels, to identify M...

PURPOSE The pterygium is characterized by a fibrovascular neoformation from the bulbar conjunctiva into the cornea. The recent discovery that abnormal markers associated with tumor diseases are identified in the pterygium strengthens the theory that the pterygium is a tumor-like disease rather than a degenerative disease. The CD30 molecule has been identified in neoplastic and normal epithelial...

The Orthocoronavirinae family was discovered in the 1960s. These are enveloped viruses with positive single-stranded RNA, and their genome size varies approximately between 26 32 kb, being largest for an RNA virus. In Mexico, first reported case that of a person from Italy. Taking this as day 1, cases have been increasing and, at time writing article, there were 133,974 infected people 15,944 d...

Acholeplasma laidlawii can be isolated from cattle environments and different body sites of bovines. It is still under evaluation if A. acts as a primary pathogen. Here, we present the whole-genome sequence conjunctiva heifer with infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis.
