Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics, diagnostic markers, and treatment outcomes of varicella-zoster virus-associated anterior uveitis (VZV-AU) with and without ophthalmic herpes zoster (herpes zoster ophthalmicus (HZO) and zoster sine herpete (ZSH), respectively).
Methods: Clinical records of 47 VZV-AU patients (21 ZSH, 26 hZO) were retrospectively reviewed for clinical findings, medication use, and PCR using aqueous humor (AH) results.
Results: There was no significant difference in age, gender, visual acuity (VA), or intraocular pressure (IOP) between the two groups.
Article Synopsis
- Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a major cause of vision loss linked to diabetes, prompting a study on the protective effects of pemafibrate in a type 2 diabetes rat model.
- The study involved administering pemafibrate to a group of obese diabetic rats while monitoring their retinal function and health through various examinations, including electroretinography.
- Results indicated that pemafibrate reduced triglycerides and increased good cholesterol, showing improved retinal thickness and larger AQP4-positive areas, suggesting it may help protect against DR.
Intraocular lymphoma (IOL) is a rare malignant intraocular lymphocytic tumor that mimics uveitis. IOL is anatomically classified into vitreoretinal lymphoma (VRL) and uveal lymphoma; most IOLs are VRLs, while uveal lymphoma is rare. VRL is highly malignant, with 60%-85% of patients developing central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma; primary VRL (PVRL) is an ocular disease with poor prognosis.
