Background: The impact of steroid-sparing immunosuppressive agents (SSIAs) for immune-related adverse events (irAEs) on tumor outcome is not well-known. This systematic review evaluates tumor outcomes for corticosteroid (CS) monotherapy versus CS with SSIA (CS-SSIA) for irAE treatment with a focus on melanoma.
Methods: Search was conducted through 1/5/23 using PubMed, Embase, Cochrane CENTRAL, and Web of Science.
Purpose: To determine the physiological status of the retina of eyes with endophthalmitis by examining the electroretinograms (ERGs) recorded with a portable recording system and to determine whether the pretreatment ERG findings were correlated with the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) after the treatment.
Methods: We examined the medical records of 118 eyes of 108 patients who were diagnosed and treated for infectious endophthalmitis at Saitama Medical University Hospital, Japan, between January 2015 to November 2022. Of these, we studied the 25 eyes of 21 patients who had been evaluated by electroretinography.
Purpose: To determine the physiological status of the retina by electroretinography (ERG) using skin electrodes and the RETeval system in eyes that had undergone pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with silicone oil (SO) tamponade. The vitrectomy was performed for a retinal detachment and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR).
Design: Retrospective case series.
Purpose: To determine whether 0.025% povidone-iodine (0.025% PI) in the irrigation solution during vitrectomy for endophthalmitis is safe.

Article Synopsis
- Distinguishing inflammatory arthritis as an immune-related side effect in cancer patients is difficult due to similar musculoskeletal symptoms caused by their condition.
- Immune checkpoint inhibitors can worsen existing joint issues (like crystal-induced arthritis or osteoarthritis) and can also trigger systemic diseases that affect the joints, such as sarcoidosis.
- It's crucial to differentiate between these conditions, as their treatment approaches vary significantly from those for immune-related inflammatory arthritis.
