Potential Application of Anti-Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide (Anti-CCP) for the Diagnosis of Periodontal Disease in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis with Cut-Off Determination.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and periodontal disease (PD) are both characterized by an inflammatory reaction. Anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) is a common diagnostic test for RA. Anti-CCP is proposed to be used as a serological biomarker to detect PD in patients with RA.

Spectroscopic, anti-cancer, anti-bacterial and theoretical studies of new bivalent Schiff base complexes derived from 4-bromo-2,6-dichloroaniline.

In this paper, four new mono-nuclear Ni(II), Pd(II), Pt(II) and Zn(II) complexes were prepared by using a bi-dentate Schiff base ligand, ()-2-(((4-bromo-2,6-dichlorophenyl)imino)methyl)-5-chlorophenol (), with bivalent ions in a methanol and distil water mixture as solvent in presence of NaOH as base. The structures of the prepared compounds were characterized by spectroscopic techniques (IR and H NMR), CHN analysis, and molar conductivity. The M(II) (Ni, Pd and Pt) ions are four-coordinated by a bi-dentate NO donor ligand, forming square planar geometry, whereas the Zn(II) is coordinated as a tetrahedral geometry.

Bilateral cystoid macular edema as the presenting feature of chronic myeloid leukemia.

Purpose: Ophthalmic disease may rarely be a presenting feature of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML).

Methods: We report a case of a 53-year-old man with type 1 diabetes mellitus who presented with a rapid onset of bilateral blurred vision.

Results: He was noted to have bilateral macular edema and was initially treated for presumed diabetic macular edema (DME) with intravitreal alifbercept injections.

Primary care optometry-based diabetic retinopathy review clinics - a new model of care and comparison with virtual diabetic retinopathy clinics.

Background: Given the increasing prevalence of diabetes and diabetic retinopathy (DR) in the UK, this study evaluates a novel primary care optometry-based DR review service against traditional hospital-based virtual DR clinics.

Methods: In the hospital-based virtual DR service, patients attended for data capture (visual acuity, fundus photography, macular OCT scanning) with asynchronous review at a later data by a hospital clinician. In the primary care optometry DR review clinic, patients attended an optometry practice for a face-to-face(F2F) review (with imaging) by an optometrist with additional training in DR.
