Treating Acquired Factor VIII Inhibitor and Tumor-Induced Hypoglycemia in a Case of Relapsed Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLCBL) is a heterogenous disease, with many phenotypic subtypes and occasional paraneoplastic syndromes being present. Herein, we describe a case of a 63-year-old woman, with relapsed/refractory DLBCL (RR-DLBCL) with artifactual hypoglycemia on laboratory testing, likely related to the mechanical effects of a new factor VIII inhibitor. We demonstrate our workup, consideration, treatment, and her clinical course.

Incidence, Risk, and Visual Outcomes after Repositioning of Acute Non-Traumatic Flap Dislocations Following Femtosecond-Assisted LASIK.

Although the use of femtosecond lasers instead of mechanical devices has decreased the incidence of flap complications following laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK), dislocations and striae still occur. Flap repositioning is an effective intervention to improve visual outcomes after acute flap complications in both microkeratome-assisted and femtosecond-assisted LASIK. This retrospective case series included patients undergoing flap repositioning secondary to acute flap dislocation and/or visually significant striae within the first two weeks following femtosecond LASIK (FS-LASIK) from 2015 to 2020 at a single institution.

Corneal Refractive Surgery in Patients with a History of Herpes Simplex Keratitis: A Narrative Review.

The incidence of herpes simplex keratitis (HSK) in patients following corneal refractive surgery is higher than in the general population, and several case reports of ocular morbidity in HSK infection following corneal refractive surgery have been published. HSK is listed by the American Academy of Ophthalmology as a relative contraindication to corneal refractive surgery, although specifics have not been further elucidated. This review summarizes the current literature regarding reactivation of HSK following corneal refractive surgery and provides a guideline for considering corneal refractive surgery in a patient with a previous history of HSK.
