Orbital inflammatory disease as a presenting feature of suspected Lyme neuroborreliosis: case report.

Orbital inflammatory disease (OID) is an inflammatory condition of the orbital and periorbital region. This case reports suspected Lyme neuroborreliosis underlying an initial presentation of OID in a 37-year-old male. Myositis was confirmed by computed tomography (CT) imaging.

A Comprehensive Review of Thyroid Eye Disease Pathogenesis: From Immune Dysregulations to Novel Diagnostic and Therapeutic Approaches.

Thyroid eye disease is a complex inflammatory disorder of the orbit that has gained tremendous interest over the past years, and numerous scientific efforts have been deployed to elucidate its pathophysiology for novel drug development. Our manuscript will delve into the molecular dysregulations involved in the pathogenesis of thyroid eye disease that led to its clinical manifestations. Abnormalities within the apoptotic pathway, inflammatory cascade, and autoimmune regulatory systems will be covered.

Gender and personalized profile information influence online ratings of Canadian academic ophthalmologists.

Objective: To determine the characteristics associated with higher online ratings of academic ophthalmologists in Canada.

Design: Retrospective cross-sectional study.

Methods: All ophthalmologists affiliated with Canadian ophthalmology departments were queried in March 2023 using WebMDs.

Perspectives on a virtual student-led research conference in ophthalmology.

We share our experience of organizing a one-day virtual educational event, the first Canadian national student ophthalmology conference, in response to the need for ophthalmology career exploration. The conference included mentorship with residents, research presentations, keynote speakers, and more. Following the event, students expressed some improvement in accessing ophthalmology mentorship and research opportunities, along with a modest enhancement in their understanding of the specialty.
