A thorough clinical evaluation, including both physical examination and radiological imaging, is required to distinguish benign subcutaneous emphysema from necrotizing soft tissue infections.

Article Synopsis
- Adalimumab is being tested as a treatment for autoimmune non-infectious uveitis (ANIU) in a trial called ASTUTE, which aims to evaluate its effectiveness and cost-effectiveness for a broader range of patients than currently approved in the UK.
- The trial is a multicenter, placebo-controlled study, where 174 participants who respond to a 16-week run-in phase will be randomized to receive either adalimumab or placebo, focusing on treatment failure and various outcomes like visual function and quality of life.
- Ethical approval was obtained in June 2020, and the results of the trial will be shared at international conferences and published in peer-reviewed journals to ensure widespread dissemination among professionals and patients.
