Purpose: Best vitelliform macular dystrophy is an inherited macular dystrophy associated with over 250 pathogenic variants of the Bestrophin-1 ( BEST1 ) gene. Although several types of lesions of best vitelliform macular dystrophy are well-described, reports of phenotypic variations associated with rare genetic variants are limited.
Methods: This was a retrospective case series performed in 2021 at a tertiary eye care center.
Article Synopsis
- The study examined children aged 3-18 with low vision at an eye center, focusing on their demographics, surgical history, and health determinants from 2014 to 2019.
- Out of over 47,000 children assessed, 882 had low vision, with common causes including refractive/strabismic amblyopia and retinal diseases; many required surgical interventions.
- Results showed a strong link between the severity of vision loss and the number of surgeries, while no significant relationship was found between patients' income or insurance and their visual outcomes or need for surgery.*
Although the overall survival prognosis of patients in advanced stages of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is poor, typically ranging from days to months from diagnosis, there are rare cases of patients remaining in therapy for longer periods of time. Early estimations of survival prognosis would allow rational decisions on complex therapy interventions, including radical surgery and robust systemic therapy regimens. Understandably, there is great interest in finding prognostic markers that can be used for patient stratification.

Methods: Patient phenotypes were gathered from clinical data.
Background: The intraoperative relaxed muscle positioning (IRMP) technique for strabismus surgery in thyroid eye disease (TED) involves recessing muscles' insertions to positions where they rest without tension. We evaluate the long-term outcomes of patients who underwent surgery using this technique.
Methods: The medical records of patients with TED and diplopia who underwent strabismus surgery with IRMP between 1999 and 2021 were reviewed retrospectively.
