Abstract Aim: Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) is a rare condition in which a person's immune system attacks the peripheral nerve. The visual system can also be affected in GBS patients. The aim of present work is to look for visual pathway. disturbances in these patients using Visual evoked potential (VEP). Material and Methods: IO male patients (20 eyes) diagnosed as GBS in age range Of 25 to 56 years Were selected for the purpose Of pre- Sent Study. Visual evoked potential (VEP) using pattern type Of Stimulation Was tested in total patient group using Mangoni machine. Ihe results obtained was compared with 10 normal sex and age matched population following VEP test Results: There was not statistically significant differences as far as demographical finding was concerned between case and control groups. There was a Significant difference was observed in latency and amplitude Of VEPs PIOO Peak between Case and control groups (P

Abstract Background: Lipemia retinalis (LR) is a rare pathology characterized by creamy white retinal vessels due to chylomicrone- mia- Here, we present a case report of LR in a 44-day neonate and provide a comprehensive review of the literature on this rare condition. Materials and Methods: All articles indexed in Pubmed and Google scholar with term "Lipemia retinalis" in title were in- cluded to provide a comprehensive review about clinical aspects of LR then an analysis was conducted on all infantile and neonatal cases of LR reported in the literature. Data on clinical presentation, ophthalmic findings, laboratory investigations, and treatment strategies were extracted and analyzed. Results: Our case report details the presentation ofa 44-day-old boy with creamy white retinal vessels consistent with LR, which was identified during screening for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). A literature review yielded a total of 44 report. ed cases of LR in infants and neonates, bringing the total number of cases to 45 including ours. In cases where gender was specified, 27 were female and 15 (333%) were male. The average age of infants diagnosed with LR was 10.11±10.68 weeks, and their average gestational age (GA) and birth weight (BW) were 37.43±4.41 weeks and 2535.48± 1086.27 grams, respectively. Type I hyperlipoproteinemia (76.4%) was identified as the most common underlying cause, with 21 cases (46.7%) attributed to lipoprotein lipase (LPL) deficiency. Vomiting or poor feeding were the most common symptoms prompting evaluation in 13 cases (36.1%). In 40% of cases, the stage of LR was specifically identified, with 4 cases classified as stage 2 and 14 cases classified as stage 3. Organomegaly was the most common associated manifestation of hypertriglyc- eridemia when combined with LR, seen in 51.1% of cases. Ihe GA was significantly correlated with the presence of xantho- ma and pancreatitis (p 0.41 and p=O.39, respectively). GA and BW were also correlated with the presence oforganomegaly (p 0.009 and p 0.45, respectively). The average total cholesterol (TC) level was 1485.52±150421 mg/dl (range: 70-7000), and the average triglyceride (TG) level was 16268±14578.09 mg/dl (range: 1000-64956). The TG level was found to be associated with the stage of LR (p=O.46), In addition to the case discussed, there were seven other premature neonates (GA<38) with LR, five of whom also had ROP, with two undergoing laser photocoagulations, Treatment strategies of LR varied. with dietary modifications and lipid-lowering medications showing some efficacy. Conclusion: Lipemia retinalis is a rare condition that can occur in infants and neonates. Early recognition and management of underlying lipid disorders are crucial in preventing long-term complications. Further research is needed to investigate possible long-term impacts on visual development and optimal treatment strategies for LR in this population.

Abstract Cheiloscopy is the study of lip prints, which are the unique patterns and lines that are found on the lips. In forensic science, lip prints can be used to identify individuals and to provide evidence in criminal investigations. Lip prints can be left on various surfaces, such as cups, glasses, and cigarettes. They can be collected from these surfaces and compared to known lip prints in order to identify the individual who left them. Lip prints can be analyzed for characteristics such as shape, pattern, and ridge count, which can be used to distinguish one individual from another. While lip prints are not as commonly used as fingerprints in forensic science, they can be a valuable piece of evidence in certain cases. They can be particularly useful in cases where there are no other means of identification, such as in cases of unidentified remains. In these cases, lip prints can be used to help identify the individual and potentially provide clues about their identity and circumstances of their death. As handwriting and Fingerprints, Lip prints also support the principle of Uniqueness/lndividuality which state that two things can be similar but cannot be alike. Lip prints start to develop at 6th week Of intrauterine period Lip print is basically a pattern Of Wrinkles and Fissures on the labial mucosa and the study Of lip prints is referred to as cheiloscopy. Lip prints can help to determine the gender, race etc. Lip prints can be found in the cases ofburgarlary. Sexual assault etc. which could be found useful in determining the perpetrator. Overall, the use of lip prints in forensic science can help to identify individuals and provide evidence in criminal investigations

A 55-year-old male developed severe emphysema and complications following mechanical ventilation after a second COVID-19 infection. Persistent positive nucleic acid tests despite antiviral treatments, and the impact of prolonged immunosuppression on virus clearance and lung recovery, emphasize the need for improved antiviral strategies and careful management of ventilation-related complications.
