Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a multisystem connective tissue disorder involving the cardiovascular, skeletal, and ocular systems. ⋯ The child's excessive growth pointed to the presence of gigantism in the very beginning. A duly identified problem of MFS in our patient at an early age contributed to the correct diagnosis and prevention of the development of amblyopia in the child.

Studying ocular biometric parameters in different populations and determining the relationship with personal characteristics can provide valuable information about ocular growth and help provide a better understanding of refractive errors. ⋯ While AL in children in late schooler group is higher than European countries, it shows similar characteristics in early schooler group. In addition AL is lower in all age groups than Asian population sexcept preschooler group. With age AL increases, SE decreases and AL plays a key role in refractive development.

In this study, we aimed to investigate the interleukin-17A (IL-17A) levels in patients with high-grade glial tumors before receiving radiotherapy, immediately after radiotherapy, and 3 months after radiotherapy. ⋯ As compared to the period before radiotherapy, IL-17A levels tend to decrease in the period of acute and chronic phases of radiotherapy in all patient groups.

Observational Study
Major adverse cardiovascular events in bulgarian patients with chronic coronary syndrome.
In primary prevention, most guidelines rely on atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk assessment to determine the appropriateness and intensity of risk factor modification. ⋯ Our data revealed that different factors in the risk profile of the three patient groups were associated with an increased rate of MACEs.
