HLA-B27-positive anterior uveitis : Clinical aspects, diagnostics, interdisciplinary management, and treatment.

Acute anterior uveitis (AAU) associated with human leukocyte antigen (HLA) B27 is the most common form of noninfectious intraocular inflammation and is considered to be a separate clinical entity. Young adults between the ages of 20 and 40 years are predominantly affected. The HLA-B27 positive AAU typically presents as a unilateral, fulminant disruption of the blood-aqueous humor barrier, which is accompanied by pronounced cellular infiltration and fibrinous exudation.

The Impact of Tape Sealing Face Masks on Visual Field Scores in the Era of COVID-19: A Randomized Cross-over Study.

Precis: Tape sealing of the face mask can prevent fogging artifacts of visual field testing. Here, we demonstrate that tape sealing can improve visual field scores even when fogging artifacts are not obvious.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to demonstrate that visual field scores improve when the face masks are taped to prevent fogging artifacts.

The prognostic value of Presepsin for postoperative complications following pancreatic resection: A prospective study.

Background: Presepsin is involved in binding lipopolysaccharides and previous studies have confirmed its value as a marker for early diagnosis and prediction of severity in sepsis. Comparable studies assessing the predictive potential regarding postoperative complications and mortality following pancreatic resection are lacking.

Methods: This prospective study included 70 patients undergoing pancreatic resection from December 2017 until May 2019.

[Astigmatism].

Astigmatism is the most frequent refractive error worldwide followed by hyperopia and myopia. Internal astigmatism has to be differentiated from external astigmatism. Furthermore, external astigmatism can be divided into "with the rule", "against the rule" and "oblique".
