Purpose: To describe and clarify a possible pathogenetic origin for choroidal caverns in young healthy individuals through a topographical analysis using swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA).
Methods: A cross-sectional evaluation of 44 healthy volunteers (44 eyes), aged 20-32 years with no systemic or ocular comorbidities. The topographical analysis of choroidal caverns was performed through a 15 × 15 mm volumetric scan cube using SS-OCTA (PLEX Elite 9000).
Article Synopsis
- Bronchiolitis is a leading cause of hospitalizations in infants, largely due to RSV, with this study focused on infants in the Apulia region of Italy in 2021.
- Data was collected from 349 infants aged 0-12 months, finding that a significant majority were under 3 months old and required oxygen support, with high hospitalization rates peaking in November.
- The study highlighted that younger infants faced worse outcomes, including higher rates of needing intensive care and longer hospital stays, underscoring the severity of bronchiolitis in this age group.
