Anterior clinoid process metastasis with sudden loss of vision: role of emergency optic nerve decompression by Marta Rico-Pereira, Fernando Muñoz-Hernández

“…Case presentation We report the case of a 41-year-old male patient with a diagnosis of radius leiomyosarcoma, who underwent surgery in 2014, with bone and lung metastases, who had been treated with chemotherapy and appeared to have the disease controlled at his last follow-up. 6 years later, he developed a one month history of progressive unilateral loss of visual acuity and visual field defect (initially quadrantanopia that progressed to nasal hemianopia). Brain imaging showed a contrast-enhancing lesion affecting the left anterior clinoid process with extension to the cavernous sinus and sphenoid sinus, causing compression of the left optic nerve. …”

The role of optical coherence tomography angiography in assessing diabetic choroidopathy: a systematic review by M. Hossein Nowroozzadeh, Mansoureh Bagheri

“…Abstract Background Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of vision impairment worldwide, affecting both retinal and choroidal vasculature. While advances in imaging technology, particularly optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA), provide new opportunities to assess choroidal changes in diabetic patients, the role of OCTA in early diagnosis and monitoring of diabetic choroidopathy remains unclear. …”

Some Issues of Normative and Legal Regulation of Weapons in Ukraine by K. L. Buhaichuk

“…The publication defines the directions for improving the draft laws under consideration in terms of: definitions of the terms of «sporting weapon», «thermal imaging sight», «signal weapon», «night vision sight», «training-split weapon - neutralized weapon», «right to carrying weapon», «right to own weapon»; introduction of the terms of «law enforcement agency», «intelligence agency», «law enforcement agency of special purpose», «state agency of special purpose with law enforcement functions» into the conceptual apparatus of the law, since some authors use them to define the regime of special circulation of civil firearms; establishment of restrictions on the number of civilian firearms and ammunition for them, which can be acquired by an individual; creating legislative prerequisites for the approval of a by-law, which will clearly provide the procedure for transferring seized weapons to the National Police for further storage; securing the obligation of security personnel to provide emergency medical care to persons to whom they use weapons; introduction of norms that will establish the obligation of applicants for the acquisition, possession and use of weapons to take the appropriate courses within first aid; preservation of the wording of the Articles 190-195 of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses until the relevant law on the legal regime of sidearm is adopted.…”
