Two young dogs were presented for the evaluation of an abnormally haired appearance of both eyes since adoption. In one dog, the lesions were symmetrical and appeared as disorganized skin tissue located on the cutaneous aspect of the lateral portion of both lower eyelids, and continuing to the palpebral and the bulbar conjunctiva, thus forming continuous lesions. In the other dog, a similar lesion was present in the right eye (OD), but the lesion of the left eye (OS) was of discontinuous, disorganized skin tissue located midway on the lower eyelid and on the lateral bulbar conjunctiva. The lesions were surgically removed and routinely processed for histopathological analysis. Definitive diagnosis was conjunctivo-palpebral dermoids for each dog. Dermoids are usually considered to be choristoma (normal tissue in an abnormal location) when they are located on the ocular surface (cornea and/or conjunctiva) and as hamartoma when located on the palpebral skin. The lesion presentation in these two dogs reveals that names of “choristoma” alone or “hamartoma” alone are not accurate to depict the continuous, composite, conjunctivo-palpebral dermoids. These cases suggest that choristoma and hamartoma might develop subsequently from the same abnormal event during the embryonic development, which means that the lesion location might be the only difference between the two terms.

Purpose: To report a patient with cavernous hemangioma (CH) presenting as a “subcutaneous” lower eyelid mass. Case report: A 37-year-old man presented with a painless and palpable mass over the right lower eyelid for two years prior to referral. Computed tomography scan revealed a well-defined, lobulated mass located in the mid and lateral portion of the lower eyelid that extended posteriorly to the anterior orbital space. A transcutaneous excisional biopsy was performed. Histopathologic findings of the tumor confirmed CH. Most CHs are intraconal lesions, making our case an unusual presentation for this condition. Conclusion: CH may present superficially in the eyelid and anterior orbital area and thus, although this location is not common, it should be kept in mind as a differential diagnosis for any well-defined eyelid tumor.

Angiofibromas are highly vascular, locally aggressive but histologically benign tumors. A 40-year-old woman complaint of pedunculated mass in the right gingiva of the posterior region since 7 months earlier. Surgical excisional biopsy under general anesthesia was performed. Histopathological examination showed an angiofibroma. Angiofibromas are localized in the superficial soft tissue and the gingiva could have a similar clinical appearance as an epulis. Definitive diagnosis was determined through histopathological analysis.

The study aims to determine whether early removal of an experimental intracerebral mass alters neurological function. In four experimental series, 0.6mL and 0.8mL balloons were implanted by stereotaxis and inflated into the right caudate nucleus of rats. After 1hour of insufflation, the brains were removed and studied by histopathological analysis. Immunohistochemical was included with protein S-100, marker of neuronal destruction. Four groups were formed (1A, 1B, 2A, 2B) and the variables: time and balloon volume was analyzed. In each series of the time variable, half of the animals had a 0.8mL balloon inflated for three minutes (Group 1A), and the other half had a 0.8mL balloon inflated for ten minutes (Group 2A). In the variable balloon volume series, half of the animals had a 0.6mL balloon inflated for 6 minutes (Group 1B), while the other half had a 0.8mL balloon inflated for 6minutes (Group 2B). In the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the parameters, the shortest group (group 1A), either there was no lesion, or there was partial loss of nervous tissue, while the longest group (group 2A) presented edema and cerebral parenchymal necrosis, reaching 35% of nuclear pyknosis. In the volume dependent groups (groups 1B and 2B), the findings were similar, both with about 30% of pyknotic nuclei. Thus, time was the major determinant of injury, reiterating the prognostic importance of early removal of a spontaneous intracerebral mass.

A 55-year-old woman presented with a painless, pink mass of the right eye bulbar conjunctiva that had been gradually increasing in size for the past 10 years. Excisional biopsy with histopathological analysis revealed a rare diagnosis of pleomorphic lipoma. There was no recurrence at last follow-up evaluation 6 months postoperatively. To the best of our knowledge, this represents the third case of pleomorphic lipoma of the bulbar conjunctiva reported to date.

A 3-year-old female Pinscher dog was presented with a history of lameness and pain in hind limbs for one week which acutely progressed to non-ambulatory paraparesis. The dog had been apathetic and anorexic during the six days prior to presentation. The neurological findings were compatible with upper motor neuron signs to the left hind limb due to a spinal cord compressive mass on the twelfth thoracic vertebral body. On the other hand, signs of lower motor neurons to the right hind limb were due to a mass with a pathological fracture in the right proximal femur, compressing the sciatic nerve. A histopathological analysis of all organs revealedthe proliferation of endothelial cells showingin filtrative growth and organization into vascular structures with a solid pattern. In addition, immunohistochemycal analysis revealed low proliferation index and citoplasmatic positivity for CD-31, confirming the vascular nature of the neoplasm. Clinical, histopathological and immunophenotipical findings were consistent with hemangiosarcoma.

Primary aldosteronism (PA) causes a persistently elevated blood pressure (BP) due to excessive release of the hormone aldosterone from the adrenal glands. Classically, it is called Conn’s syndrome and is described as the triad of hypertension and hypokalemia with the presence of unilateral adrenal adenoma. It can be cured with surgical resection of the aldosterone-secreting adenoma leading to resolution of hypertension, hypokalemia and increased cardiovascular risk associated with hyperaldosteronism. We present a case of a man with previous ischemic heart disease (IHD) who presented with resistant hypertension. Investigations for secondary causes of hypertension revealed an elevated aldosterone level and saline suppression test confirmed the diagnosis of PA. Radiological examination revealed a left adrenal adenoma and a normal right adrenal gland. However, adrenal venous sampling showed lateralization of aldosterone secretion towards the right. He subsequently underwent a laparoscopic right adrenalectomy which improved his BP control promptly. This case highlights the importance of recognizing the need to investigate for secondary causes of hypertension. It also underscores the importance of dynamic tests, which may not be easily accessible to most clinicians but should pursue, to allow a definitive diagnosis and effective treatment.

Oral hygiene is defined as the practice of keeping the mouth clean and healthy, by brushing and flossing to prevent the occurrence of any gum diseases like periodontitis or gingivitis. The main aim of oral health hygiene is to prevent the buildup of plaque, which is defined as a sticky film of bacteria and food formed on the teeth. The coastal guard is an official who is employed to watch the sea near a coast for ships that are in danger or involved with illegal activities. Coastal guards have high possibilities of being affected by mesothelioma or lung cancer due to asbestos exposure. So, a questionnaire consisting of 20 questions was created and circulated among a hundred participants who were coastal guards, through Google forms. The responses were recorded and tabulated in the form of bar graphs. Out of a hundred participants, 52.4% were not aware of the fact that coastal guards have high chances of developing lung cancer and Mesothelioma. 53.7% were aware of the other oral manifestations of lung cancer other than bleeding gums. Majority of the coastal guards feel that they are given enough information about dental hygiene protocols. Hence, to conclude, oral hygiene habits have to be elaborated using various tools in the right manner to ensure better health of teeth and gums.

Buying and selling is a way to transfer land rights according to the provisions in Article 37 paragraph (1) of Government Regulation Number 24 of 1997 concerning Land Registration which must include the deed of the Land Deed Making Official to register the right of land rights (behind the name) to the Land Office to create legal certainty and minimize the risks that occur in the future. However, in everyday life there is still a lot of buying and selling land that is not based on the laws and regulations that apply, namely only by using receipts and trust in each other. This is certainly very detrimental to both parties in the transfer of rights (behind the name), especially if the other party is not known to exist like the Case in Decision Number 42 / Pdt.G / 2010 / PN.Mtp

Visual field asymmetries (VFA) in the encoding of groups rather than individual faces has been rarely investigated. Here, eye movements (dwell time (DT) and fixations (Fix)) were recorded during the encoding of three groups of four faces tagged with cheating, cooperative, or neutral behaviours. Faces in each of the three groups were placed in the upper left (UL), upper right (UR), lower left (LL), or lower right (LR) quadrants. Face recognition was equally high in the three groups. In contrast, the proportion of DT and Fix were higher for faces in the left than the right hemifield and in the upper rather than the lower hemifield. The overall time spent looking at the UL was higher than in the other quadrants. The findings are relevant to the understanding of VFA in face processing, especially groups of faces, and might be linked to environmental cues and/or reading habits.
