Characteristics of the cornea and ocular surface in patients with congenital aniridia

We performed complete eye exams on 50 eyes in 25 patients with congenital aniridia. Factors such as age, history of ocular surgery, dry eye score and aesthesiometry results correlated with the degree of aniridia-related keratopathy. Schirmer’s test I in 86.8%, Schirmer’s test II in 94.4% and TFBUT in 83.3% of cases were all normal. Corneal staining was altered in 54.2%, and conjunctival staining was altered in 45.7%. The tear ferning pattern was abnormal in 80%. Conjunctival metaplasia was present in 76.9%.Corneal endothelial cell density was normal. Ultrasonic pachymetry was higher than average in all eyes examined.

Bases metolológicas para la traducción jurídica: traductología, derecho comparado y lexicografía bilingüe

El presente trabajo sistematiza y analiza las principales obras de referencia de tres ámbitos interdisciplinarios: la traducción jurídica, el derecho comparado y la lexicografía bilingüe con el fin de establecer una base metodológica para la producción de un futuro diccionario bilingüe rumano-español para la traducción. Observamos una falta de repertorios lexicográficos rumano-español en el marco jurídico. El análisis que presentamos se enfoca en el tratamiento de la equivalencia de las unidades léxicas relacionadas con el derecho de asilo en cuatro diccionarios bilingües de carácter general. El resultado más significativo de nuestra investigación es que estos diccionarios no reúnen técnicas de traducción jurídica y métodos de derecho comparado.

Malignant pheochromocytoma in a pig

Abstract. Endocrine tumors are rarely observed in pigs, and pheochromocytomas have been only punctually described. The current report describes a white and firm, 15-cm in diameter, neoplastic mass located in the adrenal gland with metastasis to regional lymph nodes in a 2.5-year-old sow. The masses had marked desmoplasia that supported a population of polygonal-tospindle– shaped neoplastic cells arranged into cords and packets within a delicate fibrovascular stroma. Immunohistochemical staining of the tumor was positive for chromogranin and negative for neurofilament protein in adrenal and lymph node masses, which was characteristic of a malignant pheochromocytoma.
