Fundus image diagnostic agreement in uveitis utilizing free and open source software.

Objective: To assess the adequacy of image agreement regarding uveitis based on color fundus and fluorescein angiography images alone, and to use free and open source applications to conduct an image agreement study.

Design: Cross-sectional agreement study.

Participants: Baseline fundus and fluorescein images of patients with panuveitis, posterior, or intermediate uveitis enrolled in the Multi-center Uveitis Steroid Treatment (MUST) trial.

Comparison of histopathologic features, clinical symptoms, and erythrocyte sedimentation rates in biopsy-positive temporal arteritis.

Purpose: To compare the histopathologic stage of temporal arteritis observed in biopsy-positive specimens with clinical symptoms and erythrocyte sedimentation rates (ESR). Also, to compare the degree of involvement of biopsies from the right versus left side in patients receiving bilateral biopsies.

Design: Retrospective case series.
