Background And Objectives: Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) and Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are autoimmune chronic inflammatory disorders of undetermined cause. Uveitis is one of the commonest and most dangerous extra-articular manifestations of JIA and RA presenting chronic anterior uveitis with non-specific biomarkers for its early detection. We evaluated the role of serum 14-3-3 Eta protein to assess its potential role as a novel biomarker for the early detection of uveitis in Egyptian JIA and RA patients as well as its correlation with disease activity.

Affecting a large proportion of the population worldwide, corneal disorders constitute a concerning health hazard associated to compromised eyesight or blindness for most severe cases. In the last decades, mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) demonstrated promising abilities in improving symptoms associated to corneal diseases or alleviating these affections, especially through their anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory and pro-regenerative properties. More recently, MSC therapeutic potential was shown to be mediated by the molecules they release, and particularly by their extracellular vesicles (EVs; MSC-EVs).

Ocular coloboma (OC) is a congenital disorder caused by the incomplete closure of the embryonic ocular fissure. OC can present as a simple anomaly or, in more complex forms, be associated with additional ocular abnormalities. It can occur in isolation or as part of a broader syndrome, exhibiting considerable genetic heterogeneity.

Purpose: To report and discuss a case of brainstem anesthesia and contralateral amaurosis following a sub-Tenon block.
Methods: Single surgical case report of a patient who underwent an uncomplicated pars plana vitrectomy for an epiretinal membrane peel in the left eye following a sub-Tenon anesthesia technique.
Results: Post-operatively, the patient experienced symptoms of brainstem anesthesia as well as akinesia, a non-reactive pupil, and reduced visual acuity in the contralateral eye which gradually resolved within 24 hours.
