1. The document discusses various degenerations, cysts, and tumors that can affect the conjunctiva, including pterygium, pinguecula, conjunctival cysts, and both benign and malignant conjunctival tumors.
2. Pterygium is a degenerative condition caused by prolonged UV exposure that involves fibrovascular proliferation invading the cornea. Recurrence after surgery is common.
3. Treatment for pterygium involves surgical excision with conjunctival autograft or amniotic membrane graft to prevent recurrence. Amniotic membrane is harvested from the placenta.
Pathological evaluation of melanocytic lesionsHisashi Uhara
In this lecture, the following basic steps by which I routinely scan specimens in our hospital will be presented with examples.
1. Evaluate the specimen preparation.
1) Is the incision for the specimen made perpendicular to the skin surface?
2) Is the slice of tissue from volar skin made perpendicular to the furrows of skin?
2. Estimate the specimen size and location.
1) Estimate the size of the lesion from the magnification of the objective lens.
2) Estimate the specimen location.
3. Precaution before evaluation
1) Observe the specimens without clinical information as much as possible.
2) Obtain as much information as possible at low magnification.
4. The steps for observation
1) At low magnification: Check the symmetric properties and circumscription of the lesion based on the following points.
a. Distance from the densest area of the lesion to both ends.
b. Variation of the thickness of epidermis from the center to both ends.
c. Distribution of melanin in the coronoid layer, epidermis, and dermis.
d. Distribution of nests and distance between each nest.
e. Density of solitary distributed melanocytes.
f. Existence of inflammatory infiltration in the dermis and its distribution.
g. Continuity of the spread of nests and tumor cells in both ends.
h. Is the bottom of the lesion smooth or not?
2) At high magnification: Check the details of tumor cells.
a. Tumor cells in the epidermis: Existence of necrosis, atypia (large nucleolus), or mitosis.
b. Other findings in the epidermis: Distribution of melanin in the cornified layer, the existence of tumor cells in the upper epidermis, the polymorphism of tumor cells, the relationship between tumor cells and keratinocytes.
c. In the dermis: An overlapping, crowded, or sheet-like gathering of tumor cells, maturation of tumor cells, mitotic figures, or melanin of tumor cells at the bottom of the lesion.
d. In the adnexal area: The existence of tumor cells in adnexal walls.
5. After provisionally giving a pathological diagnosis, check discrepancies between the pathological diagnosis and clinical findings. Return to the pathological evaluation if necessary.

Feeding plate for a newborn with Cleft Palate.pptxSatvikaPrasad
A feeding plate is a prosthetic device used for newborns with a cleft palate to assist in feeding and improve nutrition intake. From a prosthodontic perspective, this plate acts as a barrier between the oral and nasal cavities, facilitating effective sucking and swallowing by providing a more normal anatomical structure. It helps to prevent milk from entering the nasal passage, thereby reducing the risk of aspiration and enhancing the infant's ability to feed efficiently. The feeding plate also aids in the development of the oral muscles and can contribute to better growth and weight gain. Its custom fabrication and proper fitting by a prosthodontist are crucial for ensuring comfort and functionality, as well as for minimizing potential complications. Early intervention with a feeding plate can significantly improve the quality of life for both the infant and the parents.

Global launch of the Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index 2nd wave – alongside...ILC- UK
The Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index is an online tool created by ILC that ranks countries on six metrics including, life span, health span, work span, income, environmental performance, and happiness. The Index helps us understand how well countries have adapted to longevity and inform decision makers on what must be done to maximise the economic benefits that comes with living well for longer.
Alongside the 77th World Health Assembly in Geneva on 28 May 2024, we launched the second version of our Index, allowing us to track progress and give new insights into what needs to be done to keep populations healthier for longer.
The speakers included:
Professor Orazio Schillaci, Minister of Health, Italy
Dr Hans Groth, Chairman of the Board, World Demographic & Ageing Forum
Professor Ilona Kickbusch, Founder and Chair, Global Health Centre, Geneva Graduate Institute and co-chair, World Health Summit Council
Dr Natasha Azzopardi Muscat, Director, Country Health Policies and Systems Division, World Health Organisation EURO
Dr Marta Lomazzi, Executive Manager, World Federation of Public Health Associations
Dr Shyam Bishen, Head, Centre for Health and Healthcare and Member of the Executive Committee, World Economic Forum
