Introduction: Glomus tumours are rare benign tumours formed by modified smooth muscle cells arising from the glomus body. Glomus tumours occurring in the iris have not been previously reported.Case description: A 32-year-old woman presented with a 9-day history of blurred vision in her right eye. Ultrasound, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging confirmed the presence of a mass lesion within the iris. Surgery of the iris was performed and the tumour was removed. Histopathological analysis confirmed a glomus tumour. The patient remains clinically stable 5 months following surgery and has experienced no tumour recurrence.Conclusion: The findings from this case suggest that the typical symptoms of a glomus tumour may be absent in some cases, and that imaging examinations can help in understanding the extent of the lesion and the involvement of adjacent structures. Moreover, pathology and immunohistochemistry are crucial to confirm the diagnosis.

To investigate the clinical differentiation of spleen-deficiency pattern (SDP), a group of symptoms and signs defined in terms of Traditional Chinese Medicine for its clinical practice.

To compare the correlations between salivary alpha-amylase (sAA) activity and amylase, alpha 1 (salivary) gene (AMY1) copy number or its gene expression between splenic asthenia and healthy children, and investigate the reasons of attenuated sAA activity ratio before and after citric acid stimulation in splenic asthenia children.

The article discloses a method for grouping network devices into the Forwarding Database (FDB)-based layer 2 analysis working sets. It notes that FDB-based discovery algorithms need thorough FDB data from all devices in the discovery range. The applied rules for grouping devices are outlined, one of them states that non-switch devices, like routers, can join various working sets. It says such sets are calculated based on the rules against changed FDB data when a network change occurs.
