Limbal xanthogranuloma.

Three cases of histologically proven limbal xanthogranuloma are presented. All three cases presented with a yellow raised swelling at the limbus and no other ocular or systemic abnormality. A simple excision of the lesion was carried out in all cases and histological examination revealed features typical of xanthogranuloma. Two patients had a recurrence at the original site, necessitating keratectomy, with insertion of a lamellar graft. We suggest that a primary keratectomy with insertion of a lamellar graft should be performed in cases of limbal xanthogranuloma in order to lessen the risk of recurrence and to provide a better cosmetic result.

SatelLife: pioneering the path for electronic communication and health information in the developing world.

Information poverty is one of the most significant obstacles to better health in the developing world. To address this problem, SatelLife, a Boston-based nonprofit organization has created HealthNet, a computer-based network linking healthworkers throughout the world to facilitate the exchange of health-related information. Using low-cost, sustainable technologies, SatelLife provides both electronic mail communications services and a variety of information services including electronic publications, electronic access to remote databases, and ongoing electronic conferences on topics of special relevance to health in the developing world. The article cautions that simply bringing high-speed Internet access to the developing world will not solve problems of information poverty, because such technology will be prohibitively expensive for all but the elite private sector and because of the need to provide targeted, high-quality information, not simply access to the vast, disorganized universe of information available on the Internet.
