Purpose: Selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT), which is widely regarded as a safe procedure, is a frequently used treatment for open-angle glaucoma. Although it is presumed to be associated with an inflammatory cascade and possible postoperative inflammation, only 2 cases of SLT complicated by cystoid macular edema have been previously reported. Until now there are no previous reports of SLT causing subretinal fluid (SRF).
Methods/importance: Clinical examination, optical coherence tomography, and fluorescein angiography demonstrated a previously unreported clinical entity consisting of bilateral SRF, developing within 24 hours of bilateral inferior 180-degree SLT for open-angle glaucoma.
Results: Rapid bilateral, subjective loss of vision occurred within 24 hours post-SLT. This was associated with bilateral SRF resulting in 48 μm (OD) and 35 μm (OS) increase in macular thickness on optical coherence tomography. Fundus fluorescein angiography demonstrated profuse, well-demarcated subfoveal leakage. SRF resolved within 4 days, but eventual best corrected visual acuity was subjectively and objectively decreased.
Conclusions: The sudden onset of loss of vision and the development of subfoveal SRF within 24 hours of SLT strongly suggests cause and effect. This previously unreported clinical entity of bilateral SRF within 24 hours of SLT may be secondary to an intraocular inflammatory cascade, similar to previous hypotheses regarding 3 cases of cystoid macular edema post-SLT. Given the dramatic initial loss of vision and compromised long-term visual outcome, clinicians and patients need to be informed of this new clinical entity of SLT associated with SRF and permanent retinal pigment epithelial changes.

Introduction: Liquid biopsy as a non-invasive method to investigate cancer biology and monitor residual disease has gained significance in clinical practice over the years. Whilst its applicability in carcinomas is well established, the low incidence and heterogeneity of bone and soft tissue sarcomas explains the less well-established knowledge considering liquid biopsy in these highly malignant mesenchymal neoplasms.
Materials And Methods: A systematic literature review adhering to the PRISMA guidelines initially identified 920 studies, of whom 68 original articles could be finally included, all dealing with clinical applicability of liquid biopsy in sarcoma.

Fungal periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) are rare but increasingly recognized complications following total joint arthroplasty (TJA). While remains the most common pathogen, non-albicans species and other fungi, such as , have gained prominence. These infections often present with subtle clinical features and affect patients with significant comorbidities or immunosuppression.

The aim of our study is to separately investigate the outcomes, prognostic factors and recurrence patterns of G2 EEC and whether the differentiation between G1 and G2 EEC is clinically useful. we retrospectively reviewed 523 patients with EEC treated with primary surgery over a decade (March 2010-January 2020) at Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust, focusing on those with G2 disease.

Diagnosis of nevoid melanoma (NeM) is often difficult because NeM closely resembles a common nevus clinically and histologically. A retrospective study was conducted on 110 patients diagnosed with and/or treated for primary nevoid melanoma at the Veneto Institute of Oncology and at the University Hospital of Padua from August 1999. Mean Breslow thickness was of 1.

Obesity and its related diseases, such as type 2 diabetes (T2DM), cardiovascular disease (CVD), and metabolic fatty liver disease (MAFLD), require new diagnostic markers for earlier detection and intervention. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the potential of metabolomics as a tool for identifying biomarkers associated with obesity and its comorbidities in every age group. The presented systematic review makes an important contribution to the understanding of the potential of metabolomics in identifying biomarkers of obesity and its complications, especially considering the influence of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), amino acids (AAs) and adipokines on the development of T2DM, MAFLD, and CVD.
