“…Distinctive semi-transparent strands, either free-floating or optic disc-attached, may be present at one end of the cysts [7]. The extraordinary documentation of an idiopathic pigmented vitreous cyst, devoid of continuous hyaloid artery, no signs of traction or attachment associated with ocular structure, or any changes at the macula by Sethi and colleagues, finds comprehensive affirmation in the OCT results of our case [14]. Furthermore, our OCT examination yielded intriguing results, as it unveiled the intricate internal composition of the cyst, characterized by numerous membranes exhibiting high reflectivity and dividing the lumen into lobular structures (Fig.…”

Background Primary vitreous cyst is a clinical variant delineated by the existence of a vesicle within the vitreous cavity from birth. This particular disease tends to be uncommon, and the underlying mechanisms contributing to its pathogenesis remain obscure. Case presentation A 37-year-old male patient manifested blurry vision and floaters in his right eye, a symptomology first noticed three months prior. Upon slit-lamp examination, a pigmented, round, 1 papilla diameter-sized mass was discerned floating in the vitreous. A meticulous examination of the floaters was conducted using an array of multimodal imaging techniques. Other potential conditions, including cysticercosis, toxoplasmosis, and tumors, were conclusively excluded through comprehensive diagnostic tests such as blood examinations, liver ultrasound, and cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), resulting in the diagnosis of a primary vitreous cyst. The patient did not report any other discomforts and did not receive any subsequent interventions or treatments. Conclusion We furnish an exhaustive case report of a patient diagnosed with a primary vitreous cyst. The incorporation of multimodal images in the characterization of the disease anticipates facilitating an enriched comprehension by medical practitioners.

“…Pakistan also faces many barriers in the adoption and implementation of e-learning. During the COVID-19 lockdown, several universities shifted to the e-learning model in Pakistan, but this has proved to be painful and troublesome due to the lack of resources, awareness and competence (Sethi, 2020; Inam, 2020).…”

Purpose Integrating e-learning into higher education institutions (HEIs) is a complex process. Several universities had tried to impart learning online, especially amid the spread of COVID-19. However, they failed miserably due to the many barriers to online learning platforms’ delivery and acceptance. This study aims to explore the barriers and facilitators in adopting e-learning in HEIs of Pakistan by taking the perspective of key stakeholders involved in the management and administration of HEIs. Design/methodology/approach The authors recruited participants using purposive and snowball sampling. Interviews were conducted from a variety of participants, including academicians, administrators and information technology (IT) personnel. Data recorded was transcribed into verbatim and then analyzed using thematic analysis. Findings The analysis identified barriers and facilitators to the e-learning implementation. Barriers included lack of resources and training, lack of infrastructure, inadequate e-learning policies, absence of positive mindset among teachers and students and reservations and concerns about e-learning of parents and teachers. By contrast, facilitators included prior training and awareness (provided by HEIs regarding e-learning), the assistance of government and regulatory bodies (in terms of policy and training on e-learning), the role of IT (in development and implementation of online learning system) and good computer knowledge and skills of students and faculty. Moreover, respondents believed that teaching subjects online requires the availability of proper and complete gadgets, but these were hardly available due to high demand. Finally, the academicians and administrators believed that e-learning is indispensable in health emergencies such as COVID-19 and similar events ahead. Originality/value For the HEIs to sustain and grow, the adoption of e-learning is fundamental. Therefore, the government should provide the essential infrastructure for the HEIs to deploy e-learning modules, train faculty and ensure the availability of necessary equipment (e.g. network) and gadgets to faculty and students. From a theoretical perspective, the study provides a framework for similar future studies in other emerging markets, whereas practical implications of the study can assist the governments and HEIs of emerging markets in implementing the e-learning modes of education in times of health emergencies, such as COVID-19.

Free-floating, pigmented vitreous cysts were documented in two patients. In a 15-year-old girl with intermittent symptoms, a 2.4-mm cyst was observed; origin was attributed to prior trauma, and clinical observation was pursued. In a 35-year-old woman with progressive symptoms, a 11.5-mm cyst was observed; origin was attributed to a history of multiple ocular surgical interventions, and surgical excision by pars plana vitrectomy was performed.
