Levofloxacin susceptibility of Staphylococci from conjunctiva in patients with atopic dermatitis.

Purpose: The ocular surface in patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) is known to harbor an abundance of gram-positive cocci, particularly Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). This study reviewed the results of microbial cultures from the conjunctiva in AD patients, with special attention to the levofloxacin susceptibility of Staphylococci.

Fulminant Marginal Keratitis Induced by Atezolizumab, a Programmed Death Ligand 1 Inhibitor for Lung Cancer.

Introduction: With the increasing use of immune checkpoint inhibitors, ocular adverse events have gained attention. We describe a case of atypical keratitis presumably induced by atezolizumab, a programmed cell death ligand 1 inhibitor.

Case Presentation: A 73-year-old Japanese woman developed ring-shaped marginal infiltrations with epithelial breakdown of the corneas in both eyes.

Ocular Manifestations of Peters Plus-Like Syndrome in 8q21.11 Microdeletion Syndrome.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to report a case of Peters plus-like syndrome, which revealed to have an 8q21.11 microdeletion by copy number variation analysis using exome data.

Methods: A 6-month-old Japanese boy presented with bilateral corneal opacity since birth.

One School's Management of Students With Intellectual Disabilities During the COVID-19 Outbreak in Japan: A Study Based on Interviews With Teachers.

This study aimed to elucidate how school employees caring for students with intellectual disabilities managed emergencies caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. It attended to decision-making by school managers as well as the engagement of local teachers in the outcome resolution process. A total of 10 teachers employed in different positions were purposefully selected from a school for students with intellectual disabilities in Osaka, Japan, and interviews were conducted with them Zoom.

Mechanical sharing dual-comb fiber laser based on an all-polarization-maintaining cavity configuration.

We present a mechanical sharing, dual-comb fiber laser based on an all-polarization-maintaining cavity configuration and a nonlinear amplifying loop mirror mode-locking mechanism. This simple setup yields dual-optical frequency combs with a high level of mutual coherence without active servo control. We realized a high relative stability with a standard deviation of 0.
