Correlation of Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography and Slit-Lamp Imaging in Infectious Keratitis.
Cornea
January 2025
Academic Ophthalmology, School of Medicine, AU1, University of Nottingham, Nottingham, United Kingdom.
Purpose: Anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) is increasingly being used to complement slit-lamp biomicroscopy in the evaluation of corneal infections. Our purpose was to analyze, compare, and correlate the clinical signs elicited by these 2 methods in patients with infectious keratitis (IK).
Methods: Slit-lamp photomicrographs (diffuse and slit beam) and AS-OCT scans were obtained from 20 consecutive patients (21 eyes) with IK.
Ultrasound Biomicroscopy for the Detection and Characterization of Anterior Segment Cysticercosis.
Clin Ophthalmol
November 2024
University Eye Clinic Maastricht, Maastricht, the Netherlands.
Purpose: Ocular cysticercosis, caused by larvae, presents significant public health challenges, especially in regions with poor sanitation. Traditional imaging techniques often fail to detect anterior segment cysticercosis accurately, necessitating the exploration of more advanced diagnostic modalities like Ultrasound Biomicroscopy (UBM).
Patients And Methods: A retrospective observational analysis was conducted on 18 eyes from 14 patients with cysticercosis involving the anterior segment.
What is new in imaging to assist in the diagnosis of giant cell arteritis and Takayasu's arteritis since the EULAR and ACR/VF recommendations?

Over the past decades, fundamental insights have been gained to establish the pivotal role of imaging in the diagnosis of large-vessel vasculitis, including giant cell arteritis (GCA) and Takayasu's arteritis (TAK). A deeper comprehension of imaging modalities has prompted earlier diagnosis leading to expedited treatment for better prognosis. The European Alliance of Associations in Rheumatology (EULAR) recommended in 2023 that ultrasound should be the initial imaging test in suspected GCA, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) remains the first-line imaging modality in suspected TAK.

Ophthalmic Genet
November 2024
Aier Eye Hospital, Jinan University, Guangzhou, China.
Article Synopsis
- Keratoconus (KC) is a progressive eye disorder affecting the cornea, with genetic factors influencing its development, as highlighted in a study of monozygotic twins from a Chinese family.
- Comprehensive eye exams and whole-genome sequencing were conducted to identify clinical features and genetic variants in the twins and their parents, revealing 12 potential pathogenic variants related to KC.
- The findings suggest that the accumulation of these genetic variants may be responsible for the twins' KC, contributing to a broader understanding of the genetic landscape of
Visual Outcome and Complications in White Mature Cataracts after Phacoemulsification.
Middle East Afr J Ophthalmol
October 2024
Department of Ophthalmology, Sri Aurobindo Medical College and Post Graduate Institute, Indore, Madhya Pradesh, India.
Purpose: To identify risk factors and perioperative complications and assess postoperative visual outcome in patients of white mature cataracts undergoing phacoemulsification surgery.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 46 patients of white mature cataract undergoing phacoemulsification. Preoperatively, a detailed ocular examination was done, and anterior chamber depth (ACD) and lens thickness (LT) were measured on ultrasound biomicroscopy.
