Aim: To focus on different visual resolution tasks under photopic and mesopic conditions in Sjögren's syndrome patients compared to age-matched healthy controls.
Methods: The visual resolution measurements included high and low visual acuities and contrast sensitivity functions. These tests were conducted under photopic and then mesopic conditions. Twenty-one Sjögren's syndrome patients and 21 aged-matched healthy volunteers completed all the measurements in this study.
Results: Sjögren's syndrome patients have greater impairment in contrast sensitivity than standardized visual acuity. This reduction was significant under the mesopic condition. Also, Sjögren's syndrome patients treated with pilocarpine suffer more than patients without pilocarpine treatment under low light conditions.
Conclusion: Sjögren's syndrome patients shows greater impairment in different visual resolution tasks due to dry eye symptoms.

Epidemiology, ventilator management, and outcomes in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) because of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have been described extensively but have never been compared between countries. We performed an individual patient data analysis of four observational studies to compare epidemiology, ventilator management, and outcomes. We used propensity score weighting to control for confounding factors.

Fanconi anemia (FA) is a rare genetic disorder that affects multiple systems in the body and is the most prevalent congenital syndrome, leading to bone marrow failure. Twenty-two genes have been identified as contributors to the disease. Significant advancements have been made in the past 2 decades in understanding the genetic and pathophysiological processes involved.

Brugada syndrome (BrS) is a genetic condition that increases the risk of life-threatening arrhythmias, which can result in sudden cardiac death (SCD). Implantable loop recorders (ILRs) have become a key tool in managing patients with unexplained syncope, and guidelines advise their use in individuals with recurrent, unexplained syncope or palpitations. However, the role of ILRs in inherited arrhythmic conditions like BrS remains a topic of debate.
