AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Primary biliary cirrhosis with autoimmune hepatitis (PCB/AIH) overlap is characterized by uncertain behavior and no standardized treatment. A 35 year-old-woman with vitiligo, jaundice and cholestasis fulfilled serological, biochemical and histological criteria for PBC/AIH overlap. Treatment was initiated with conventional doses of corticosteroid and ursodeoxycholic acid. Her condition worsened with poor biochemical hepatic response. The course of action was altered to institute high doses of ursodiol, azathioprine and corticosteroids for extended periods of time. This case illustrates how increased understanding of the overlap PBC/AIH leads to new interventions. Recognition of these variant forms is critical for institutional management of both disease entities.

Article Synopsis
- MRKH syndrome is a rare condition that leads to the absence or underdevelopment of the uterus and vagina in females, affecting their reproductive health.
- A 17-year-old girl with MRKH was admitted for primary amenorrhea and poorly controlled diabetes, despite having normal growth and no significant medical or family history.
- Clinical evaluations revealed normal external genitalia, a blind vaginal pouch, absence of the uterus and cervix, and an ectopic left kidney, while her blood glucose levels remained poorly managed.

Purpose: To report two cases of non-granulomatous unilateral anterior uveitis in two female patients associated with autoimmune liver diseases (ALD), emphasizing the possibility of this rare coexistence as a polyautoimmunity phenomenon.
Case Descriptions: Case 1: An 18-year-old female with a history of congenital renal hypoplasia and metabolic syndrome presented with anterior uveitis in OS and a history of jaundice, blood elevated hepatic enzymes, and cholangioresonance compatible with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). Laboratory work-up for additional autoimmune and infective causes were within normal limits.

The most prevalent type of photo therapies are low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and ultraviolet (UV) treatments, which are distinguished by the physical properties of the light employed. However, in latest years, it has been suggested that polarization and an extensive light band including all light spectra are essential aspects in light treatment. Light waves are filtered to align and vibrate in a single plane, resulting in polarized light (PL).
