Performance of a handheld ultrasound device in detecting retinal detachments.

Purpose: To assess the accuracy and performance of the Butterfly IQ+ handheld ultrasound (HHUS) in detecting retinal detachments (RDs).

Methods: A cross-sectional observational study of eyes with (n = 20) and without (n = 20) RD imaged using a conventional B-scan ophthalmic ultrasound device Ellex Eye Cubed by Clarion Medical Technologies (Cambridge, ON, CA) and a portable HHUS (Butterfly IQ+). Images were compared between the modalities for qualitative differences.

Bilateral Pseudo-hypopyon as Presenting Symptom of Acute Monocytic Leukemia in an 8-Month-Old Infant.

A previously healthy 8-month-old female infant presenting with lethargy and bilateral eye redness and cloudiness had bilateral hypopyon uveitis, which persisted despite topical steroids. Cytology of the anterior chamber and cerebrospinal fluid and flow cytometry of cerebrospinal fluid revealed malignant cells consistent with acute monocytic leukemia. Bone marrow aspirates and biopsies showed no evidence of disease.

Surgical intervention in pediatric intracranial hypertension: incidence, risk factors, and visual outcomes.

Purpose: To evaluate the incidence of surgical intervention in pediatric intracranial hypertension (IH), evaluate the visual outcomes of surgically managed patients, and identify potential predictors for surgical intervention.

Methods: The medical records of patients with primary and secondary IH at Nationwide Children's Hospital from 2010 to 2017 were reviewed retrospectively. Presenting characteristics of medically and surgically managed patients were compared, and the clinical courses of surgically managed patients were reviewed.

Radiation Dose to the Thoracic Vertebral Bodies Is Associated With Acute Hematologic Toxicities in Patients Receiving Concurrent Chemoradiation for Lung Cancer: Results of a Single-Center Retrospective Analysis.

Purpose: To test the hypothesis that increasing radiation therapy (RT) dose to the thoracic vertebral bodies (TVBs) contributes to the development of hematologic toxicities (HTs) in patients with lung cancer.

Methods And Materials: Cases of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC) treated with definitive chemoradiation with concurrent platinum-based doublet chemotherapy at our institution from 2007 to 2016 were identified. Mean TVB dose and the volume of TVBs receiving at least 5 to 60 Gy (V-V) were retrospectively recorded.
