Purpose: Patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) associated uveitis (JIAU) are at risk for secondary glaucoma, frequently requiring surgical management. We compared the success rates for trabeculectomy (TE) and Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) implantation.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of TE (45 eyes), primary AGV (pAGV) (7 eyes), or secondary AGV (sAGV) implantation after TE (11 eyes) in JIAU at the 2-year follow-up.
Results: All groups achieved significant pressure reduction. After 1 year, the overall success rate was higher in the Ahmed groups ( = 0.03). After adjusting the -value according to Benjamin Hochberg, there is no significant difference between the groups in the Kaplan-Meier, despite a significant logrank test between all groups ( = 0.0194) and a better performance in the Ahmed groups.
Conclusion: Slightly better success rates were achieved with pAGV in managing JIAU patients with glaucoma refractory to medical treatment.

Quantitative natural history modeling of HPDL-related disease based on cross-sectional data reveals genotype-phenotype correlations.
Genet Med

Movement Disorders Program, Department of Neurology and F.M. Kirby Neurobiology Center, Boston Children's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts, USA. Electronic address:
Objectives: Biallelic HPDL variants have been identified as the cause of a progressive childhood-onset movement disorder, with a broad clinical spectrum from severe neurodevelopmental disorder to juvenile-onset pure hereditary spastic paraplegia type 83. This study aims at delineating the geno- and phenotypic spectra of patients with HPDL-related disease, quantitatively modelling the natural history, and uncovering genotype-phenotype associations.
Methods: A cross-sectional analysis of 90 published and one novel case was performed, employing a Human Phenotype Ontology-based approach.
Lung transplantation for diffuse pulmonary arteriovenous malformations associated with juvenile polyposis-hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia overlap syndrome: a case report.

Background: Lung transplantation is a viable lifesaving option for patients with diffuse pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). We present a case of diffuse pulmonary AVMs associated with juvenile polyposis and hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (JP-HHT) that was successfully managed by lung transplantation.
Case Presentation: A 19-year-old woman developed severe hypoxemia due to pulmonary AVMs diagnosed at 4 years of age.
Genetic Association of Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis With Adult Rheumatic Disease.

Importance: Patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) may develop adult rheumatic diseases later in life, and prolonged or recurrent disease activity is often associated with substantial disability; therefore, it is important to identify patients with JIA at high risk of developing adult rheumatic diseases and provide specialized attention and preventive care to them.
Objective: To elucidate the full extent of the genetic association of JIA with adult rheumatic diseases, to improve treatment strategies and patient outcomes for patients at high risk of developing long-term rheumatic diseases.
Design, Setting, And Participants: In this genetic association study of 4 disease genome-wide association study (GWAS) cohorts from 2013 to 2024 (JIA, rheumatoid arthritis [RA], systemic lupus erythematosus [SLE], and systemic sclerosis [SSc]), patients in the JIA cohort were recruited from the US, Australia, and Norway (with a UK cohort included in the meta-analyzed cohort), while patients in the other 3 cohorts were recruited from US and Western European countries.

Importance: A growing body of literature suggests the presence of a prodromal period with nonspecific signs and symptoms before onset of multiple sclerosis (MS).
Objective: To systematically assess diseases and symptoms diagnosed in the 5 years before a first MS- or central nervous system (CNS) demyelinating disease-related diagnostic code in pediatric patients compared with controls without MS and controls with another immune-mediated disorder, juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).
Design, Setting, And Participants: This population-based, matched case-control study included children and adolescents (aged <18 years) in Germany with statutory health insurance from January 2010 to December 2020.
Management and outcomes among older adults with generalized epilepsy in routine clinical practice.
Epilepsia Open
December 2024
Epilepsy Center, Neurological Institute, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, Ohio, USA.
Generalized epilepsy is classically thought of as a disease of the young and adolescent, with rarely reported cases among older adults. We aimed to analyze management and outcomes in a population sparsely described in the literature through a retrospective single-center cohort design. After excluding individuals without follow-up, we identified 151 people ≥50 years at the time of electrographically confirmed generalized epilepsy.
