    Abstract Se describe brevemente la historia y principios de la generación de imágenes mediante rayos X y resonancia magnética por medio de una revisión bibliográfica. También, se analizan sus aplicaciones en la entomología y otros campos agronómicos, además de las perspectivas para investigaciones futuras. Se concluye que las metodologías analizadas no son destructivas puesto que permiten dar seguimiento al mismo individuo con imágenes y modelos computarizados en dos y tres dimensiones para el estudio de células, tejidos y órganos en insectos vivos. Estas técnicas contribuyen a la comprensión morfológica, fisiológica y ecológica de los insectos en diferentes ambientes o tratamientos.

    Abstract Metastatic colon adenocarcinoma involving the extraocular muscles is extremely rare. It usually develops following the diagnosis of the systemic disease and therefore, management and treatment require a multispecialty approach. Within this manuscript, we provide a summary of cases of orbital metastasis secondary to colon cancer. We further discuss a detailed case of a 42-year-old male patient who developed recent-onset diplopia in the left gaze. Orbital CT imaging showed a localized, well-circumscribed enlargement of the right medial rectus muscle. The biopsy of the right medial rectus showed adenocarcinoma originating from the gastrointestinal system. Further workup revealed colon adenocarcinoma with multiple metastatic sites. The patient started systemic chemotherapy. After 2 months of chemotherapy (5-fluouracil, oxaliplatin, irinotecan, and leucovorin), all systemic metastatic sites regressed; however, his medial rectus muscle continued to grow, causing compressive optic neuropathy. The patient underwent excisional biopsy of the right medial rectus muscle with simultaneous repair of the strabismus with transposition of superior and inferior recti muscles. He continued with systemic chemotherapy. Follow up in 1 year revealed no local orbital tumor recurrence with excellent visual acuity and no diplopia in primary gaze.

    Abstract Purpose: Periocular locally advanced basal cell carcinoma (POLA-BCC) is characterized by orbital involvement and/or extensive invasion of periocular structures. Hedgehog pathway inhibitors have been used for POLA-BCC with promising outcomes.
    Methods: The authors reviewed 11 articles published in English literature from January 2012 to July 2022 and reported the outcomes of patients with POLA-BCC who were treated with vismodegib.
    Results: A total of 384 patients were treated with vismodegib. The mean age was 72 years, and the median treatment duration was 9 months. The overall response rate was 75% with a median follow-up time of 14.4 months. Following vismodegib treatment, the median number of patients who required adjuvant surgery was 43% with a median time to surgery of 6.5 months. The exenteration rate was 6% (overall 8 patients). In total 93.7% of patients experienced grade I adverse events, 26.7% to 37.5% grade II, 8.8% to 10% grade III-IV, and 0.8% to 4.8% grade V. Major side effects included dysgeusia (30-100%), muscle spasm (15-100%), alopecia (47-75%), weight loss (23-83%), and decreased appetite (19-42%). The median percentage of patients who discontinued treatment due to toxicity was 29% with a median interval of 5 months before the development of side effects. The median recurrence rate following discontinuation of vismodegib was 7.8% with a median recurrence duration of 20 months.
    Conclusions: In patients with POLA-BCC, vismodegib, a hedgehog pathway inhibitor, provided high rates of orbital preservation, reducing exenteration rates to 6%. Neoadjuvant therapy with vismodegib can also be suggested for patients with POLA-BCC. While extremely effective, side effects lead to temporary or permanent discontinuation of vismodegib in small numbers of patients.

    Abstract Maurice Victor, the great Canadian neurologist, was an expert on the neurology of alcoholism including the Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome. In Boston, Massachusetts he encountered the leading neuroanatomist, Paul Yakovlev, an immigrant from Russia. Together Victor and Yakovlev collaborated on translating the work of S.S. Korsakoff from Russian to English. This interview of Victor about Yakovlev is informative about both of these great figures in North American Neurology.

    Abstract Purpose: Uveal lymphomas are indolent, frequently choroid-involving neoplasms that are mainly CD20-positive B-cell extranodal marginal zone lymphoma. Irreversible visual loss may occur from retinal detachment and/or glaucoma among untreated symptomatic patients, or from radiation-induced changes secondary to external beam radiotherapy. To avoid radiation-induced complications, we used systemic rituximab monotherapy as primary treatment, and present two cases to show its long-term effectiveness for symptomatic primary uveal lymphoma.
    Observations: Two elderly men who presented with painless blurred vision were clinically diagnosed with symptomatic primary uveal lymphoma, which were biopsy-confirmed to be marginal zone lymphoma. Both patients with symptomatic, primary marginal zone uveal lymphoma that appeared as multiple yellow, nummular choroidal infiltrates, had complete ocular remission after three and one cycles of systemic rituximab monotherapy (375mg/m2 infused intravenously once weekly for four consecutive weeks), with disappearance of the lesions and improvement of visual acuity. Both patients tolerated systemic monotherapy well without any adverse systemic or ocular effects. There was no local ocular recurrence at 29 and 39 months after the last treatment.
    Conclusions: and Importance: Systemic rituximab monotherapy induced complete ocular remission and improved visual acuity, without adverse effects, and without local ocular recurrence of uveal lymphoma 29-39 months following the last treatment. To our knowledge, this is the first manuscript to show long-term effectiveness of systemic rituximab monotherapy as the primary treatment for symptomatic primary uveal lymphoma. Long-term follow-up of this indolent neoplasm is still imperative to monitor its ocular and systemic course.
