Introduction: Herein, we report on the option and clinical advantage of the Preserflo MicroShunt insertion into the posterior chamber ciliary sulcus in a patient with advanced pseudoexfoliation glaucoma at a high risk of corneal decompensation.
Case Presentation: We describe a 64-year-old advanced pseudoexfoliation glaucoma patient who despite maximal tolerated medical therapy and two failed glaucoma surgeries, still suffered from uncontrolled intraocular pressure (IOP) of 36 mm Hg in his left eye. The patient underwent the implantation of the Preserflo MicroShunt.
Background: This retrospective study aims to evaluate the impact of a content-based image retrieval (CBIR) application on diagnostic accuracy and confidence in interstitial lung disease (ILD) assessment using high-resolution computed tomography CT (HRCT).
Methods: Twenty-eight patients with verified pattern-based ILD diagnoses were split into two equal datasets (1 and 2). The images were assessed by two radiology residents (3rd and 5th year) and one expert radiologist in four sessions.
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), commonly referred to as lupus, is a widely prevalent chronic autoimmune disease that can affect any organ system in the body. Although the pathogenesis of this disease is rather complex and poorly understood, ultimately there is an overproduction of multiple self-reactive antinuclear antibodies. These autoantibodies are one of the laboratory hallmarks of the diagnosis and disease activity of SLE.
