Nutritional blindness from avoidant-restrictive food intake disorder - recommendations for the early diagnosis and multidisciplinary management of children at risk from restrictive eating.

Avoidant-restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) is an eating disorder characterised by limited consumption or the avoidance of certain foods, leading to the persistent failure to meet the individual's nutritional and/or energy needs. The disordered eating is not explained by the lack of available food or cultural beliefs. ARFID is often associated with a heightened sensitivity to the sensory features of different types of food and may be more prevalent among children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) for this reason.

ACUTE SYPHILITIC NECROTIZING RETINITIS ASSOCIATED WITH PLACOID CHORIORETINITIS IN AN IMMUNOCOMPETENT PATIENT.

RHEGMATOGENOUS RETINAL DETACHMENT AFTER INJECTION OF TISSUE PLASMINOGEN ACTIVATOR AND GAS FOR SUBMACULAR HEMORRHAGE SECONDARY TO AGE-RELATED MACULAR DEGENERATION.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe the rate, clinical characteristics, and outcomes of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) after injection of tissue plasminogen activator (TPA) and gas for submacular hemorrhage displacement.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of consecutive cases developing RRD after TPA injection and gas for submacular hemorrhage displacement. The rate of RRD was calculated, and a description of RRD clinical characteristics was performed.
