Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates risk factors for proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR), a common complication after retinal detachment surgery.
  • A large patient database was analyzed, identifying systemic (like age, gender, and smoking) and ocular (such as trauma and previous eye conditions) factors that correlate with increased PVR risk.
  • The findings emphasize the importance of considering these risk factors in surgical planning and treatment to prevent PVR in patients with retinal detachment.

Objectives: Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a large/medium-vessel granulomatous vasculitis, and the PD-1/PD-L1 coinhibitory pathway seems to be implicated in its pathogenesis. CD4 T cells expressing high PD-1 levels, CD4+CXCR5-PD-1hi peripheral helper (Tph) and CD4+CXCR5+PD-1hi follicular helper T cells (Tfh), are key mediators of autoimmunity. Their frequencies are elevated in the peripheral blood of subjects with several autoimmune conditions but have not been investigated in GCA.
