 Abstract

Crowdsourcing has emerged as a transformative approach for libraries and cultural institutions to expand their resources, increase community engagement, and enhance access to diverse information. This study explores the effective utilization of crowdsourcing in these settings, focusing on how it can be strategically implemented to achieve institutional goals. Through the analysis of various case studies and best practices, the research identifies key factors that contribute to successful crowdsourcing initiatives, such as project design, participant motivation, and quality control mechanisms. Libraries and institutions can leverage crowdsourcing to tap into the collective knowledge and effort of the public, enabling them to enrich their collections and improve data accuracy. This paper examines the various methodologies and tools employed in crowdsourcing projects, including digital platforms and incentive structures that encourage participation and ensure high-quality contributions. Additionally, the study addresses the ethical considerations and potential challenges associated with crowdsourcing, such as issues of data privacy and the need for inclusivity. Findings indicate that when executed effectively, crowdsourcing not only enhances the resources and services of libraries and institutions but also fosters a sense of community ownership and participation. By aligning crowdsourcing projects with institutional objectives and user needs, libraries and cultural institutions can create more dynamic, inclusive, and participatory environments.

 Abstract

This case study delves into the unique and intricate realm of North Carolina Syndrome (NCS), a congenital macular degeneration with various clinical manifestations. We examine the exceptional case of a 23-year-old patient, the only child of a consanguineous marriage, who exhibited severe eye asymmetry and a distinct association of NCS with retinal coloboma. Genetic tests pinpointed a mutation in the PRDM13 gene, known to be linked to NCS. This article contributes to our comprehension of NCS by emphasizing its phenotypic diversity and uncommon ocular symptoms.

Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is a rare genetic condition that makes individuals sensitive to ultraviolet (UV) rays and predisposed to skin and eye cancers. Mutations altering DNA repair favour the accumulation of lesions and the development of malignant tumours.

 Abstract

Hemodialysis can affect intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with end-stage renal disease, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly elucidated. We present the clinical case of an ocular hypertonic crisis in a hemodialysis patient and discuss its implications for the management of hemodialysis patients. Observation: After a hemodialysis session, a 36-year-old man with end-stage renal disease and type I diabetes developed a more pronounced ocular hypertonic crisis in his right eye. Decreased visual acuity, ocular pain, nausea and headache were among the symptoms. Ophthalmological examination revealed bilaterally elevated intraocular pressure, corneal edema and a narrow anterior chamber, all more marked on the right side. After general and local hypotonic treatment, clinical signs improved, and gonioscopy revealed a closed angle in the right eye and a narrow angle in the left eye . Discussion: Osmotic fluctuations, variations in the iridocorneal angle and accumulation of toxic substances may be mechanisms contributing to increased intraocular pressure (IOP) in hemodialysis patients. Management of intraocular pressure (IOP) in these patients is crucial to avoid serious ocular complications. For high-risk patients, preventive measures such as peripheral laser iridotomy may be considered.

 Abstract

This study highlights the prevalence and clinical presentation of crystalline ectopia in a cohort of patients, predominantly from consanguineous marriages. Key findings include a mean age of diagnosis at 12 years, bilateral lens displacement, and associated myopia in 90% of cases. Effective management involved surgical interventions and amblyopia treatment, leading to improved visual acuity in 75% of patients. The study emphasizes the importance of early detection and comprehensive care in managing this condition.

 Abstract

MALT lymphoma (Mucosa associated lymphoid tissue) is a mucosa-associated B lymphoid proliferation most commonly affecting the gastrointestinal tract (stomach), lungs, thyroid, breast and eye. Ocular involvement is rare, and most often involves the orbit, conjunctiva and lacrimal glands [1].

 Abstract

Sebaceous carcinoma is the third most common malignant palpebral tumor. It arises from the Meibomius glands in the tarsus or the Zeiss glands in the caruncle or periocular skin. Very often, its confusion with benign pathologies delays its management and worsens its prognosis.

 Abstract

Introduction: Marfan syndrome, a rare genetic disorder, presents a variety of symptoms, including visual disturbances associated with crystalline ectopia. Early diagnosis and multidisciplinary follow-up are essential to improve patients' quality of life and prolong their life expectancy. Observation: We report the case of a family with marfan ectopia of the crystalline lens, discovered when their young child was behind in school. Conclusion The presence of a hereditary factor in the family reinforces the diagnosis. Surgery, notably phacophagy with anterior vitrectomy, is often necessary to treat severe ocular complications

 Abstract

Histiocytosis is a rare disease primarily affecting children, with ophthalmological involvement in 20% of cases. We report a 2-year-old with unilateral exophthalmos and a right temporal mass, diagnosed as Langerhans cell histiocytosis. After initial chemotherapy complications, treatment with Vemurafenib led to a favorable response. Early diagnosis and tailored treatment are crucial for managing this unpredictable condition
