Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on uveitis patient care.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly changed practice of medicine and patient care worldwide. The impact of the pandemic on patients with uveitis is unknown. We developed the COVID-19 Practice Patterns Study Group to evaluate the effect of the pandemic on uveitis patient care.

Prospective Cross-Sectional Study of Repeatability of Peripapillary Capillary Density Measurement Using Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography in Eyes With Optic Nerve and Retinal Vascular Pathology.

Background: Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a new noninvasive imaging modality that provides high resolution images of the optic nerve head and peripapillary retinal capillary vasculature which can be affected by optic nerve or retinal pathologies. High repeatability of peripapillary capillary density measurement using OCTA has been demonstrated in normal eyes and eyes with glaucoma. The purpose of our study was to quantify the repeatability of peripapillary capillary density measurement using OCTA in both normal eyes and eyes with optic atrophy, optic disc edema, and retinal vasculopathy.

Factors Affecting Repeatability of Foveal Avascular Zone Measurement Using Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography in Pathologic Eyes.

Purpose: To determine factors that may affect the repeatability of the foveal avascular zone (FAZ) measurement obtained using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) including instrument type, image segmentation, image quality, and fundus pathology.

Patients And Methods: This prospective single-center study enrolled 43 subjects (85 eyes) with retinal vasculopathy, macular edema, optic pathology or normal contralateral eye. The macula was imaged twice using Optovue Angiovue and once using Cirrus Angioplex to obtain 3x3mm OCTA images centered on the fovea.

Recurrent Orbital Solitary Fibrous Tumor in a 12-Year-Old.

Purpose: To report the clinical features and pathology of orbital solitary fibrous tumors and present a case of a recurrence in a 12-year-old boy.

Methods: Case Report.

Results: A 12-year-old boy presented to our institution with double vision in upgaze for 6 months.

Comparison of the FaroArm Laser Scanner With the MicroScribe Digitizer Using Basicranial Measurements.

Purpose: To compare the results of a mechanical 3-dimensional laser scanner for craniofacial measurements of the basicranium to a validated coordinate device.

Methods: Access was granted by the Cleveland Natural History Museum to evaluate the Hamann-Todd Human Osteological Collection for this study. The MicroScribe and the FaroArm were used to gather coordinate data of various bony landmarks measurements including the prosthion, staphylion, hormion, and basion.

Online Ratings of ASOPRS Surgeons: What Do Your Patients Really Think of You?

Purpose: To characterize patient evaluations of American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ASOPRS) surgeons on a popular online physician rating website in an effort to determine which factors play a role in determining the likelihood of a patient recommending an ASOPRS surgeon to family and friends.

Methods: After obtaining approval and access from Healthgrades.com, the website database was searched for 612 U.

Effect of general anesthesia in infancy on long-term recognition memory in humans and rats.

Anesthesia in infancy impairs performance in recognition memory tasks in mammalian animals, but it is unknown if this occurs in humans. Successful recognition can be based on stimulus familiarity or recollection of event details. Several brain structures involved in recollection are affected by anesthesia-induced neurodegeneration in animals.
