Genetic testing is pivotal in diagnosis, genetic counselling, prognosis and access to clinical trials, and new gene-specific therapies. These guidelines recommend genetic testing in all IRD patients and provide a detailed assessment of available testing methods, ensuring that genetic counselling is integrated into ophthalmic care.

- Long COVID, also known as post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC), involves lasting symptoms affecting various body systems, particularly the central nervous system (CNS) which includes issues like fatigue, brain fog, and cognitive deficits.
- The review highlights potential mechanisms for neuro-PASC, suggesting that vascular dysfunction and disruption of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) could be key contributors to these neurological symptoms.
- It further investigates the role of the COVID-19 spike protein interacting with brain cell receptors, which may play a significant part in the pathophysiology of long COVID symptoms.
Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are a public health problem that affects around 12% of the global population. The treatment is based on analgesics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory, corticosteroids, anticonvulsants, or arthrocentesis associated with hyaluronic acid-based viscosupplementation. However, the use of hyaluronic acid alone in viscosupplementation does not seem to be enough to regulate the intra-articular inflammatory process.
