Article Synopsis
- Tuberculous pleural effusion (TPE) is a challenging diagnosis due to its paucibacillary nature, often requiring a combination of clinical evaluation and imaging to confirm.
- A 25-year-old male exhibited symptoms like cough, fever, and weight loss, and although he was initially misdiagnosed with azathioprine-induced lung injury, further testing indicated TPE.
- Effective treatment with anti-tubercular therapy led to a complete recovery, highlighting the need for vigilance in diagnosing TPE, especially in immunocompromised patients in tuberculosis-endemic areas.
This study aimed to investigate the metabolite differences between patients with keratoconus and control subjects and identify potential serum biomarkers for keratoconus using a non-targeted metabolomics approach. Venous blood samples were obtained from patients with keratoconus (n = 20) as well as from age-, gender- and race-matched control subjects (n = 20). Metabolites extracted from serum were separated and analyzed by liquid chromatography/quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometer.

Foreign bodies lodged in the intraconal space of the orbit pose a surgical challenge due to its deep location behind the globe. Image-guided endoscopic transnasal surgery facilitates the localization of the metallic foreign bodies and enables its safe removal with minimal surrounding tissue damage and optic nerve injury.
