Purpose: The relative ellipsoid zone reflectivity (rEZR) is an innovative biomarker for photoreceptor alterations and showed association with disease staging in macular telangiectasia type 2 (MacTel). However, its prognostic relevance for the ellipsoid zone (EZ) loss is unclear.
Methods: Longitudinal spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) imaging of patients with MacTel from an observational natural history study was used for en face determination of manifest EZ loss.
Background/aims: Bleb characteristics in the area around the plate following glaucoma drainage device (GDD) surgery are difficult to evaluate on slit lamp examination. Ultrasound sonography could be used for more detailed visualisation. The aim of this study was to describe bleb configuration after PAUL glaucoma implant (PGI) surgery and evaluate the possible correlation with intraocular pressure (IOP) in order to derive new markers for evaluating GDD function.

- - The study aimed to assess how pathologists report tumor content in prostate cancer biopsies and evaluate consistency among them using 10 standardized cases.
- - A survey of 304 pathologists revealed that most report tumor extent as a percentage, but there is significant variability in how they calculate these percentages.
- - The findings indicate high interobserver variability, especially with percentage reporting, suggesting that using absolute measures of tumor content could provide more consistent results for patient prognosis.
Purpose: Prophylactic insertion of an external ventricular drainage (EVD) prior to the resection of posterior fossa metastases (PFMs) is a common approach to address postoperative transient and permanent hydrocephalus. However, predicting surgery-related hydrocephalus in the preoperative phase continues to be a challenge. This study aims to analyze the incidence, preoperatively collectable risk factors and necessity of perioperative external ventricular drainage placement after posterior fossa metastasis surgery.

Methods: In this retrospective single-center study, patients with CMR-confirmed acute myocarditis with infarct-like presentation were identified (2007-2020). Functional and structural parameters were analyzed including late gadolinium enhancement (LGE).
