Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to understand the clinical experiences of childhood-onset non-infectious uveitis by analyzing data from 507 patients across 21 hospitals in a national registry.
- Most cases were classified as immune disease-associated uveitis and juvenile idiopathic arthritis-associated uveitis, predominantly affecting young females, while idiopathic uveitis and pars planitis occurred more in older children without a strong sex bias.
- The findings highlighted a variety of ocular complications linked to different types of uveitis, with juvenile idiopathic arthritis cases showing better visual outcomes, whereas idiopathic uveitis and pars planitis were associated with more severe complications and the need for systemic treatments.
Unifocal and unilateral pigmented paravenous retinochoroidal atrophy.

Paravenous pigmented chorioretinal atrophy (PPRCA) is a generally multifocal, bilateral and symmetric rare entity associated with autoimmune diseases and other ocular complications. We present the clinical case of a patient with rheumatoid arthritis who attended for pain of several days. He presented decreased visual acuity of the left eye (LE), nodular scleritis and chorioretinal atrophy with pigment accumulation in bone spicules in the inferior temporal vascular arcade and lamellar macular hole (AML).

- 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.
Objectives: To determine the effects on dynamic contour tonometry (DCT) and Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) of the power of the flattest and steepest corneal meridians, their orientation, central corneal thickness (CCT), mean overall corneal thickness, and the mean thickness of a circular zone centered at the corneal apex of 1 mm radius (zone I) and the mean thicknesses of several concentric rings also centered at the apex of width 1 mm (zones II to VI, respectively).
Methods: A total of 136 consecutive healthy eyes were examined. Two multivariate linear regression models were constructed, 1 for each tonometry system.
Purpose: To determine the capacity for measurement of central corneal thickness by ultrasound pachymetry and by Pentacam (pachymetry at the pupillary axis and minimum corneal pachymetry) to discriminate between healthy controls and patients with primary open-angle glaucoma.
Methods: Measurements of the left eyes of 123 control subjects and 128 glaucomatous patients were taken. Differences between the two data sets for each variable were identified using a t-test for independent samples.
