Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to determine if ultra-wide-field fluorescein angiography (UWFFA) at the initial visit impacts the evaluation of disease activity and management in patients at a uveitis clinic.
- A total of 158 patient visits were analyzed, with assessments made using clinical exams, UWFFP, SD-OCT, and UWFFA, comparing evaluations with and without UWFFA.
- Results showed that UWFFA led to a significant increase in identifying active disease and resulted in management changes for over a quarter of the eyes evaluated, highlighting its importance in uveitis assessment.
A new feather mite species, (Xolalgidae), was identified from the Oriental Stork, Swinhoe, 1873, in Korea. Males of are distinguished from Gaud & Atyeo, 1981, in having a single triangular prodorsal shield, sinuous margins of the opisthosoma located between setae 2 and 2 on the hysteronotal shield, an oval-shaped epiandrum without posterior extensions, a shorter tibia + tarsus IV than femoragenu IV, and an absent ambulacral disc of leg IV. Females differ in having a prodorsal shield with a posterior margin that is blunt-angular, and a concave posterior margin of the hysteronotal shield with posterior extensions.

- A study was conducted to examine changes over time in patients with non-paraneoplastic autoimmune retinopathy (npAIR) using various diagnostic methods.
- The research involved a retrospective review of 16 eyes from 8 patients, assessing structural and functional changes through tests like wide-angle fundus photography, optical coherence tomography, and electrophysiological assessments over a median follow-up of 11.5 months.
- Findings indicated that multimodal testing was effective in detecting both structural and functional decline in patients, with adaptive optics scanning laser ophthalmoscopy showing superior sensitivity in monitoring retinal microstructure changes.
This study aimed to compare findings of optical coherence tomography (OCT) angiography (OCTA) between eyes with nearly recovered and partially recovered outer retina after full-thickness macular hole (FTMH) surgery and to identify OCTA findings associated with visual acuity. We retrospectively reviewed 30 patients who underwent surgery for idiopathic FTMH. Swept-source OCT (SS-OCT) and OCTA were performed preoperatively and at three and six months postoperatively.

Thirty patients who underwent pars plana vitrectomy for retinal detachment (RD) with SO tamponade were included. SS-OCT and OCTA were conducted before RD surgery, during SO tamponade, and after SO removal.

In a randomized, double-blind, active comparator-controlled trial, a total of 249 patients were randomly assigned to receive either 200 mg of SKI306X three times daily or 100 mg of diclofenac sustained release (SR) once daily. Clinical efficacy variables (visual analog scale, Lesquesne index and global satisfaction score) and adverse events were monitored at baseline and 2nd and 4th weeks of treatment.
