Article Synopsis
- This article discusses a case of Lemierre's Syndrome leading to serious eye complications in a healthy 17-year-old woman with tonsillitis.
- After experiencing fever and pneumonia, she was admitted to the ICU where her eye problems were identified as endogenous endophthalmitis due to septic emboli.
- The article emphasizes the importance of conducting eye assessments for all patients with Lemierre's Syndrome, even if they don’t show initial eye symptoms, as part of comprehensive care.
Article Synopsis
- The study discusses a case of surgical-induced necrotizing scleritis in an 88-year-old patient who experienced severe pain in one eye following previous eye surgery.
- After ruling out infections and autoimmune diseases, the patient was treated with various medications including corticosteroids and Methotrexate, but did not improve sufficiently.
- Ultimately, a scleral patch graft was performed, along with the initiation of Adalimumab treatment, leading to better management of the condition six months later.

- The study aimed to evaluate the drug retention rate (DRR) and the factors influencing the discontinuation of adalimumab (ADA) treatment for noninfectious uveitis (NIU) in real-world settings across Spain.
- A total of 392 patients were analyzed, with a median follow-up of about 49 months, revealing a DRR of 93% at 6 months but dropping to about 54% after 5 years; discontinuation reasons included lack of efficacy and adverse events.
- The research employed various statistical methods to analyze predictors for discontinuation, finding that starting ADA in non-biotherapy-naive patients was associated with shorter drug retention time.

We examined the effect of nutritional supplements (modified Age Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS)-II formulation containing vitamins, minerals, lutein, resveratrol, and omega-3 fatty acids) on choroidal neovascularization (CNV). Supplements were administered alone and combined with intravitreal anti-VEGF in an early-CNV (diode laser-induced) murine model. Sixty mice were evenly divided into group V (oral vehicle, intravitreal saline), group S (oral supplement, intravitreal saline), group V + aVEGF (oral vehicle, intravitreal anti-VEGF), and group S + aVEGF (oral supplement, intravitreal anti-VEGF).

In this study we created a model of phototoxicity in rabbits. Animals were exposed to a light source for 120 minutes and were sacrificed immediately or one week after exposure.
