TIME-COURSE RETINAL CIRCULATION CHANGES IN EYES WITH CENTRAL RETINAL ARTERY OCCLUSION USING LASER SPECKLE FLOWGRAPHY.

Purpose: To evaluate retinal circulation in eyes with central retinal artery occlusion.

Methods: The best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), fluorescein angiography, and laser speckle flowgraphy values were measured at the first visit in 42 patients with central retinal artery occlusion (42 eyes; mean age, 66.0 ± 14.

Simple tape-stripping method for highly reliable and quantitative analysis of skin microbiome.

The composition of human skin microbiome profoundly impacts host skin health and disease. However, the relationship between skin homeostasis or the development of skin diseases and daily changes in skin microbial composition is poorly understood. Longitudinal samplings at more frequent intervals would address this issue, while conventional sampling methods have technical difficulties, leading to limitations in sampling opportunities.

Macular vessel density in central retinal artery occlusion with retinal arterial cannulation.

To characterize and compare macular vessel density in central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) eyes with retinal arterial cannulation and CRAO eyes with standard treatment. This study was Cross-sectional, observational study. Twenty-two eyes with nonarteric CRAO which underwent retinal arterial cannulation and 19 eyes with nonarteric CRAO with standard treatment were included.

Dramatic response to pembrolizumab after pseudoprogression in a patient with advanced metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Introduction: Prostate cancer with a microsatellite instability-high or mismatch repair-deficient status is not common. Few reports of the response to pembrolizumab in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer in a real-world setting have been reported. This case report describes a dramatic response to pembrolizumab after initial pseudoprogression in a patient with microsatellite instability-high metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Pre-operative Serum Albumin as a Potential Predictor of Benign Lesions in Renal Masses.

Background/aim: We investigated pre-operative factors for predicting whether renal masses are benign in order to facilitate the selection of optimal candidates for pre-operative biopsy.

Patients And Methods: We evaluated 278 patients with renal masses suspected to be clinically T1 or T2 renal cell carcinoma. All patients had undergone a partial or radical nephrectomy.
