Article Synopsis
- - This study examined choroidal thickness in children with unilateral strabismic amblyopia using SD-EDI-OCT, comparing 25 affected children to 20 healthy peers to assess ocular differences.
- - Findings revealed that while the mean choroidal thickness in the amblyopic children was similar in both affected and fellow eyes, it was significantly thicker in both when compared to control eyes across various measurements.
- - A negative correlation was found between subfoveal choroidal thickness and axial length, but no links were established between thickness and age or visual acuity.
Purpose: Behçet's disease (BD) is an autoimmune chronic systemic inflammatory disease characterized by a versatile clinical spectrum. Growth arrest specific protein 6 (GAS6)/soluble AXL (sAXL) signaling pathway draws attention in the resolution of inflammation, and its deficiency is associated with chronic inflammatory, autoimmune diseases, as well as clearance of apoptotic cells by phagocytes - efferocytosis. In this study, it was aimed to investigate whether GAS6/sAXL, interleukin (IL)-10, nitric oxide (NO), and BCL-2 levels were associated with inflammation and efferocytosis contributes to the pathogenesis of BD.

Methods A total of 307 eyes of 186 patients who were followed up in the Uvea-Behçet Unit of the Ophthalmology Department, Erciyes University, Turkey, were included in the study. Demographic, ocular, and systemic data were recorded; ophthalmological examinations were performed; and recurrences and complications of uveitis were identified.

- The study aimed to assess how adalimumab (ADA) impacts choroidal thickness (ChT) and the choroidal vascularity index (CVI) in patients with non-infectious uveitis (NIU).
- It involved comparing results from 37 NIU eyes, 38 eyes from non-uveitic (NU) patients, and 40 healthy eyes using enhanced-depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT) to monitor changes over time.
- Results showed NIU eyes had significantly lower CVI values compared to NU and control eyes, indicating systemic inflammation affects choroidal blood flow, but CVI didn't change with ADA therapy, suggesting it's not a reliable biomarker for treatment monitoring in NI
Article Synopsis
- This study explored how the brain-sparing effect (BSE) influences the likelihood of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in infants with fetal growth restriction (FGR).
- It analyzed data from 127 pregnant women, categorizing them based on cerebroplacental ratio (CPR) to assess its impact on ROP incidence.
- Key findings indicated that while gestational age under 30 weeks and birth weight below 1500 grams were significant risk factors for ROP, the BSE did not show a relationship with ROP risk.
