Objective: To review the prevalence, incidence, and risk factors for developing anti-drug antibodies (AAA) in patients with non-infectious uveitis (NIU) treated with Adalimumab (ADA).
Methods: A systematic literature search was performed on PubMed, EMBASE, Virtual Health Library, Cochrane, and medRxiv. Meta-analysis was performed using random effects.
Results: Nine out of 2,373 studies were included. The prevalence of AAA in NIU patients treated with ADA was 9% (95% CI: 2% to 37%, I = 95% with a P<0.01), it was significantly higher in real-life scenarios (observational studies) than in clinical trials. The pooled incidence at 12 months was 27% (CI 95% 16%-42% I = 0%). Several factors have been associated with AAA generation in NIU patients, including the non-use of concomitant immunosuppressants, presence of autoimmune systemic disease, female gender, etc.
Conclusion: This study showed that AAA prevalence is higher in real-life scenarios compared to clinical trials. Further research is needed to elucidate the factors that trigger AAA generation in NIU patients.

Background: Over the past few decades, percutaneous sclerotherapy has been proven to be efficacy in treating macrocystic lymphatic malformations (LMs). Unfortunately, there still remains challenging in the treatment of microcystic LMs given their size. We introduce the intralesional laser thermolysis (ILT) technique, a novel enhancement technique for the traditional percutaneous sclerotherapy in the treatment of microcystic LMs.

Some studies have confirmed that pathogens can cause infection through bacterial cultures on the surface of infectious keloids. However, further exploration of the comparison between infectious and non-infectious keloids and the bacterial flora of infectious foci is lacking. To investigate the differential flora of purulent secretions on the surface of infectious keloids compared to non-infectious keloids and to determine the microbial composition within the infectious foci.

Native joint septic arthritis (NJSA) of the hand is poorly studied. Management guidelines are extrapolated from large joint infections despite differences in epidemiology, anatomy and aetiology. Limited evidence suggests shorter courses of antibiotics can achieve outcomes comparable to longer courses.

Purpose: To evaluate the economic burden and cost-effectiveness of interventions and management of non-infectious uveitis (NIU).
Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted across Medline, Embase, and Scopus databases from inception to March 2023. Risk of bias assessments were conducted using the Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal tools.
