Mashup Score: 1Giant Conjunctival Melanoma after Deferred Intervention - 3 month(s) ago
An 85-year-old White woman presented with an elevated pigmented conjunctival lesion in the inferior fornix, which was noted 6 weeks prior (A). She refused intervention or follow-up. She returned 2 years later with enlargement of the lesion, hemorrhage, and an inability to close her eye (B). Ultrasound biomicroscopy showed a 12 × 20 mm heterogenous lesion without scleral extension (C). After lengthy discussion, she elected for debulking and cryotherapy only. Pathology revealed conjunctival melanoma.

Mashup Score: 6Evaluating the Utility of Initial Exams in Retinopathy of Prematurity: Proposal of FIRST-ROP Algorithm for a Medium-Risk Cohort - 3 month(s) ago
To assess the utility of the first or second examinations for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in a medium-risk cohort of infants and to propose an optimization to the current ROP screening guidelines.

In infants not meeting criteria for micro or nanoprematurity, there was no type 1 ROP at either of the first two examinations. Authors propose an algorithm in which ROP exams start at 34w PMA for neonates born at ≥27w gestational age & ≥800 grams. https://t.co/kkiS8PlWOF https://t.co/yxJlx7w4xT

Mashup Score: 5High Density Lipoproteins Associate with Age-Related Macular Degeneration in the All of Us Research Program - 3 month(s) ago
Extracellular lipoprotein aggregation is a critical event in AMD pathogenesis. In this study, we sought to analyze associations between clinical and genetic-based factors related to lipoprotein metabolism and risk for age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in the All of Us research program.

Mashup Score: 1Early Patching Behaviors that Improve the Chances of Good Visual Acuity in Children Treated for Unilateral Congenital Cataract - 3 month(s) ago
Achieving near normal vision following unilateral congenital cataract surgery is possible but requires early surgery, optical correction and consistent patching. Patching is often challenging for children and their caregivers. The goal of these analyses is to examine the association between reported consistency in patching during the first year after surgery and visual acuity.

Mashup Score: 16Phaeohyphomycosis, a Pigment-Producing Fungus, Mimicked Melanoma on External Examinations - 3 month(s) ago
A woman in her 50s with history of pterygium status postexcision presented with slow-growing black pigmented conjunctival lesion. The patient initially noted pain in the pterygium area. Four months later, enlarging black pigmentation was noted (A). A conjunctival lesion was surgically excised, and pathology revealed foreign material (glue and amniotic membrane graft) with septate fungal forms, adjacent to inflamed, eroded conjunctiva. Histopathologic examination was consistent with phaeohyphomycosis (B and D).
