Incidence and risk of advanced age-related macular degeneration in eyes with drusenoid pigment epithelial detachment.

To investigate the incidence and risk of advanced age-related macular degeneration (AMD), including geographic atrophy (GA) and macular neovascularization (MNV), in eyes with drusenoid pigment epithelial detachment (PED). Eighty-five eyes with drusenoid PED from 85 patients (77.2 ± 7.

Comparison of Two Cases of Foveal Laceration Caused by a Mower.

We report and compare 2 cases of open globe injury with foveal damage incurred while mowing. Case 1 is a healthy 67-year-old man presenting with an intraocular metallic foreign body and eye pain in his right eye after using a mower. The foreign body perforated the cornea's inferior area and damaged the foveal centralis, leading to central scotoma and decreased visual acuity.

Drusenoid Pigment Epithelial Detachment: Genetic and Clinical Characteristics.

Few studies report drusenoid pigment epithelial detachment (DPED) in Asians. In this multicenter study, we report the clinical and genetic characteristics of 76 patients with DPED, and, for comparison, 861 patients with exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD) were included. On the initial presentation, the mean best-corrected visual acuity was 0.

Clinical Factors Associated with Low-Contrast Visual Acuity after Reduced-Fluence Photodynamic Therapy in Patients with Resolved Central Serous Chorioretinopathy and Good Baseline Visual Acuity.

This retrospective study was conducted to investigate the clinical factors associated with low-contrast visual acuity after reduced-fluence photodynamic therapy (RFPDT) in patients with resolved central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) and good baseline visual acuity. A total of 45 eyes of 45 patients with resolved CSC at post-RFPDT and best-corrected visual acuity of >1.0 (logarithm of the minimal angle of resolution [logMAR], 0) at baseline were examined.

[Plasma exchange and continuous hemodiafiltration as an initial treatment for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma-associated hemophagocytic syndrome].

A 68-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of fever, jaundice and hepatosplenomegaly. A diagnosis of diffuse large cell, B-cell type malignant lymphoma, associated with hemophagocytic syndrome (LAHS), was made. CT scan revealed lymphadenopathy in the abdominal cavity and multiple tumors in the spleen.
