Retin Cases Brief Rep
October 2024
Purpose: To report five cases of post-operative sterile endophthalmitis in patients who underwent pars plana vitrectomy with silicone oil injection for retinal detachment.
Methods: Review of the medical records of five patients who underwent pars plana vitrectomy with silicone oil injection at Southend University Hospital and the Royal Eye Infirmary, Derriford Hospital for rhegmatogenous or tractional retinal detachment.
Results: All five patients presented with signs of anterior chamber inflammation exhibiting flare, fibrin and hypopyon in the early or late post-operative period following vitrectomy with silicone oil injection.
Introduction: The high efficacy of atypical antipsychotics (AAP) in treating diverse psychiatric disorders has been partly attributed to their capacity to curb neuroinflammation, a shared aspect of these diseases. These immunomodulatory properties of AAP have lately been explored in the context of multiple sclerosis (MS), an autoimmune demyelinating disease of the CNS.
Methods: This study aimed to review in vivo studies reporting on the therapeutic effects of AAP both in EAE, the main animal model of MS and in cuprizone-induced demyelination.
Background: Increased prevalence of depression has been observed among patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and correlated with the elevated levels of proinflammatory cytokines and the overall deregulation of monoaminergic neurotransmitters that these patients exhibit. Antidepressants have proved effective not only in treating depression comorbid to MS, but also in alleviating numerous MS symptoms and even minimizing stress-related relapses. Therefore, these agents could prospectively prove beneficial as a complementary MS therapy.

Vet Radiol Ultrasound
June 2010
The potential of computed tomography indirect lymphography (CT-indirect lymphography) and radiographic indirect lymphography to demonstrate the draining lymphatic vessels and sentinel lymph node of normal mammary glands was tested in 31 healthy female cats. The lymphatic drainage of each mammary gland was studied initially by CT-indirect lymphography after intramammary injection of 0.5 ml of iopamidol, followed by images acquired at 1, 5, 15, and 30 min after injection.
