Case report: Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leucoencephalopathy (CADASIL) as a risk factor for central serous chorioretinopathy.

Purpose: To describe an atypical case of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) in a patient with cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leucoencephalopathy (CADASIL).

Methods: A retrospective case report.

Emerging application of Google Trends searches on "conjunctivitis" for tracing the course of COVID-19 pandemic.

Purpose: The aim of the present study was to use Google Trends for evaluating the association between the internet searches of the term "conjunctivitis" and the daily new cases of COVID-19.

Methods: The relative search volume (RSV) of conjunctivitis from January 1 to April 16, 2019 (control group), January 1 to April 16, 2020 (first wave), and October 1 to December 31, 2020 (second wave) was obtained using Google Trends in Italy, France, United Kingdom, and United States. The number of COVID-19 daily new cases in the same countries were retrieved from Worldometer.

Bilateral morphometric analysis of corneal sub-basal nerve plexus in patients undergoing unilateral cataract surgery: a preliminary in vivo confocal microscopy study.

Aims: To evaluate bilateral morphometric changes of corneal sub-basal nerve plexus (CSNP) occurring after unilateral cataract surgery by in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) images analysed with automated software.

Methods: IVCM was performed before (V0) and 1 month after surgery (V1) in both operated eyes (OEs) and unoperated eyes (UEs) of 30 patients. Thirty age and sex-matched subjects acted as controls.

Pigmented purpuric dermatoses: analysis of epidemiological, clinical and histopathological aspects in relation to the prognosis of 70 patients, including infants and adults.
