Optic nerve pit maculopathy worsened during pregnancy: a case report.

Background: To report a case of Optic Disc Pit (ODP) maculopathy exacerbated during pregnancy.

Case Presentation: A 30-year-old female developed unilateral blurry vision at 10-weeks gestation. Ophthalmic examination revealed left eye reduced visual acuity (VA) with the presence of subretinal fluid temporal to the disc extending to the fovea.

Unilateral cystoid macular edema and bilateral subfoveal hyperreflectivity following docetaxel chemotherapy: A case report.

Purpose: To report the findings of unilateral cystoid macular edema (CME) associated with bilateral sub-foveal hyperreflectivity in a patient previously diagnosed with breast cancer and treated with docetaxel and cyclophosphamide.

Observations: A 69-year-old female on docetaxel and cyclophosphamide chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer developed blurry vision 20 days after initiation of therapy. Ophthalmic examination revealed reduced visual acuity with bilateral retinal pigment epithelium mottling and annular sub-foveal thickening in the left eye.

The future of organ transplant psychiatry.

The future of organ transplant psychiatry depends less on immunologic and surgical advances than on 1) an increased supply of donor organs, 2) more sophisticated multicenter outcome studies, and 3) understanding of the subjective as well as objective aspects of compliance and quality of life for transplant recipients. From future studies, we may improve the selection process for candidates and discover which approaches are optimal for anxiety, depressive, organic mental, and personality disorders. Absolute contraindications to transplantation may become relative.
