A case documenting distinct natural history of multizonal outer retinopathy and retinal pigment epitheliopathy (MORR) with longitudinal multi-modal documentation of progression.

Purpose: To describe the clinical and imaging characteristics of the acute progressive phase of a recently proposed clinical entity, Multizonal Outer Retinopathy and Retinal Pigment Epitheliopathy (MORR), a variant of Acute Zonal Occult Outer Retinopathy (AZOOR).

Methods: Single observational case report.

Results: We present the case of a 49-year-old myopic female with progressive outer retinopathy most consistent with a diagnosis of MORR.

Sustained practice of Qigong results in a somatic hermeneutic process, contributing to appreciation of life. An interpretative phenomenological analysis.

Over the past few decades evidence has accumulated into the health benefits of practising Qigong, particularly in the amelioration of physical conditions. Previous studies have been conducted using positivist biomedical model methodologies, which may be limited in understanding the nuanced meaning-making and embodied experience of practitioners. This study uses Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) to inquire into how the sustained practice of Qigong contributes beyond the relief of physical conditions to improved self-awareness and appreciation of life.

Paraneoplastic Granulomatous Vitritis: Elaboration of 8 Cases.

Purpose: To describe the clinical features in a series of 8 patients with cytologically proven granulomatous vitritis in the context of systemic malignancy.

Design: Retrospective case review series from 2004 through 2018 to identify all cases of cytologically proven granulomatous vitritis and to analyze its disease associations and causes.

Participants: Twenty-three patients with a cytologic diagnosis of granulomatous vitritis were identified, 8 of whom demonstrated systemic malignancy.

FULL DIAGNOSTIC VITRECTOMY WITH POSTERIOR VITREOUS DETACHMENT INDUCTION FOR THE DIAGNOSIS OF VITRITIS DUE TO UNCERTAIN ETIOLOGY.

Purpose: To report on the diagnostic outcomes and safety of full diagnostic vitrectomy (FDV) with surgical posterior vitreous detachment induction for diagnosing vitritis of uncertain etiology.

Methods: Forty-nine patients underwent primary FDV using the cassette washings for histopathological analysis. In addition, an undiluted core vitreous sample was obtained for microbial analysis in suspected infective cases.
