A 75-year-old man presents 4 days after painful cutaneous lesions appeared on the left side of his face, associated with severe ocular pain. Two days before the eruption, he had had an intense headache, which was diagnosed as a tension headache and was treated with oral acetaminophen (Tylenol), but with no improvement. He has a history of hypertension and hyperuricemia. No recent changes have b...

Background/Aim: To describe the clinical progress and management of ocular side effects in a 35-year-old patient with metastatic breast cancer who underwent oral chemotherapy capecitabine lapatinib. Materials Methods: Slit lamp evaluation revealed bilateral perikeratic hyperemia, perilimbal conjunctival edema associated corneal marginal infiltrates epithelial anterior stromal defects both eyes....

ischemia-reperfusion injury is the tissue damage happened when blood supply returns to the tissue after a period of ischemia or shortage of oxygen. this brain injury initiates an inflammatory response involving the expression of adhesion molecules and cytokines. the aim of this study is investigating the effect of hydroalcoholic extract of  cyperus rotundus l. on the expression of the bcl-x1 an...

organ damage after reperfusion of previously viable ischemic tissues is defined as ischemia/reperfusion injury. the pathophysiology of ischemia/reperfusion injury involves cellular effect of ischemia, reactive oxygen species and inflammatory cascade. protection against ischemia/reperfusion injury may be achieved by preconditioning or postconditioning. in this review, we discuss basic mechanisms...

ischemia-reperfusion injury is the tissue damage caused when blood supply returns to the tissue after a period of ischemia or lack of oxygen. ischemia-reperfusion brain injury initiates an inflammatory response involving the expression of adhesion molecules and cytokines. twenty–four male wistar rats (250-300 g body wt) were used in this study. the animals were divided into four groups of 6 rat...

objective(s):biochemical markers are important for the timely diagnosis and follow-up of ischemic events. most of the markers have been previously studied in the context of cardiac ischemia. however, research on markers of non-cardiac events has been insufficient. therefore, we investigated the relationship between troponin and myoglobin which are commonly used markers of cardiac ischemia, in n...

objective(s): in the present study, we investigated the effect of ischemic preconditioning (ipc) on c-myb immunoreactivity as well as neuronal damage/death after a subsequent lethal transient ischemia in gerbils. materials and methods: ipc was subjected to a 2 min sublethal ischemia and a lethal transient ischemia was given 5 min transient ischemia. the animals in all of the groups were given r...

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a benign pseudoneoplastic inflammatory condition with the potential for persistent local growth and recurrence that rarely affects the orbit. We report a very rare case of anterior orbital IMT in a child who presented with gradually progressive mass in left eye for 16 months. Ocular examination showed a cauliflower like exophytic mass at 360 degrees o...
