Skin Cancer01:30

Skin Cancer

6.1K
Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically develops in...

Classification of Epithelial Tissues: Stratified Epithelium01:29

Classification of Epithelial Tissues: Stratified Epithelium

13.5K
Stratified epithelium consists of several stacked layers of cells. They provide the durability to withstand constant physical and chemical attacks. Stratified epithelium is named after the shape of the most apical layer of cells. Stratified squamous epithelium is the most common type found in the human body. In this tissue, the apical cells are squamous, whereas the basal layer contains either columnar or cuboidal cells. The basal cells divide to form new daughter cells, which gradually become...

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment01:27

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment

1.0K
In open-angle glaucoma, the iridocorneal angle remains open, but the trabecular meshwork becomes stiff, slowing down the outflow of aqueous humor. This causes a buildup of aqueous humor in the anterior chamber, leading to a sudden increase in intraocular pressure. The treatment for open-angle glaucoma focuses on reducing the elevated intraocular pressure by either decreasing the secretion of aqueous humor or increasing its outflow.
Drugs such as carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, α2- and...

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment01:28

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment

1.3K
Angle-closure glaucoma, or closed-angle glaucoma, is an eye condition where the iris bulges out and blocks the iridocorneal angle, resulting in a buildup of aqueous humor and increased intraocular pressure. Immediate medical attention is necessary due to the sudden onset of symptoms. The treatment for angle-closure glaucoma includes short-term and long-term approaches. Short-term treatment involves using eye drops like pilocarpine to lower intraocular pressure by increasing aqueous humor...

The Retinoblastoma Gene01:20

The Retinoblastoma Gene

4.8K
Tumor suppressor genes are normal genes that can slow down cell division, repair DNA mistakes, or program the cells for apoptosis in case of irreparable damage. Hence, they play an essential role in preventing the proliferation of damaged cells.
The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...

Glaucoma: Overview01:25

Glaucoma: Overview

1.4K
Glaucoma is an eye condition characterized by increased intraocular pressure that damages the retina and optic nerve, leading to irreversible blindness if left untreated. The human eye has various components, including the cornea, iris, pupil, lens, and optic nerve. Aqueous humor is secreted by the epithelium of the ciliary body in the posterior chamber and flows through the trabecular meshwork and canal of Schlemm, maintaining normal intraocular pressure. The trabecular meshwork and the canal...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Ocular surface squamous neoplasias are common malignant tumors that can impair vision and, rarely, be life-threatening. Early identification and treatment are crucial to prevent progression and recurrence.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) is the most common malignant tumor of the ocular surface.
  • It ranks as the third most frequent ocular malignancy after melanoma and lymphoma.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To consolidate current knowledge on the epidemiology, etiology, pathology, clinical presentation, and treatment of OSSN.
  • To review literature on conjunctival intraepithelial neoplasia and invasive squamous cell carcinoma, incorporating case studies.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature review of up-to-date research on OSSN.
  • Inclusion of original case presentations to illustrate clinical aspects.

Main Results:

  • OSSN, while having low malignant potential, can lead to significant visual acuity reduction in advanced stages.
  • Metastasis of OSSN can be life-threatening.
  • Local recurrences are possible, necessitating knowledge of adjuvant treatment options.

Conclusions:

  • Prompt identification and management of OSSN are essential to prevent disease progression.
  • Adjuvant treatment strategies and regular follow-up examinations are indispensable for managing OSSN and preventing recurrences.
