The purpose of the study was demonstration of relations between grade I and II inflammatory foci in the oral cavity and certain inflammatory diseases of the eyes. Forty-three patients of either sex were studied. They were aged 19 to 78 years and were referred with the diagnosis of optic neuritis (intraocular and retrobulbar), iritis, retinitis and keratitis. Apart from routine clinical and radiological investigations the electrocutaneous test, the test for pulp viability with faradic current, and Schüller's iodine test were done.

Arthritis Research Canada, Richmond, British Columbia, Canada
Introduction: The pharmacological management of inflammatory arthritis often requires choices that involve trade-offs between benefits, risks and other attributes such as administration route, frequency and cost. This living systematic review aims to inform international clinical guidelines on inflammatory arthritis by creating an evidence map of patient preference studies concerning the trade-offs in pharmacological management of inflammatory arthritis.
Methods And Analysis: We will include published and peer-reviewed full-text studies in any language that quantitatively assess preferences of patients for the pharmacological management of inflammatory arthritis (rheumatoid arthritis, spondyloarthritis and juvenile idiopathic arthritis).
