Teprotumumab Reduces Orbital Fat, Extraocular Muscle Volume in Thyroid Eye Disease
Investigators show 2 ways in which teprotumumab can reduce inflammation for patients with thyroid eye disease.
SS-OCT Critical to Determine Retinal Changes in Gestational, Type 2 Diabetes
Researchers show changes to layers of the retina that could indicate the early stages of either type 2 diabetes or gestational diabetes.
Preoperative Mental State Associated With Postoperative Pain
Even modest depression, anxiety, and catastrophizing are predictors of whether a patient later experiences improvements in pain relief following joint replacement surgery.
Female Hormone Therapy Not Linked to RVO, RAO
Despite previous suspicions, oral contraceptives and hormone therapies are not linked to risk.
Disease Burden of Serious Infections Increased in Sjögren Syndrome
Study authors assessed the incidence, time-trends, and outcomes of serious infections in Sjögren syndrome.
Aflibercept Effective in Reducing PDR Leakage
A recent study shows that aflibercept is effective in reducing retinal leakage and initially more effective when administered monthly vs quarterly.
Retinopathy No Worse With Drop in HbA1c After Flash Monitoring
Patients with prior retinopathy are often watched closely when starting flash monitoring, but a new study finds drop in HbA1c is not risky for eye disease progression.
OCT Detects Retinal Changes in Familial Alzheimer Disease Mutation
Investigators show how retinal biomarkers as imaged using optical coherence tomography is associated with early-onset familial Alzheimer disease.
Smoking Status Linked With Microvascular Changes, Even Without Diabetic Retinopathy
Researchers used OCT-A imaging to reveal changes to the microvasculature of patients with and without retinopathy who smoke.
Study: IVI Complications Decrease With Number of Prior Injections
The study also shows younger and female patients are more likely to report complications.
Amblyopia, Strabismus Associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Researchers combed through records to establish an elevated prevalence of 5 particular ophthalmologic diagnoses in children on the autism spectrum.
Sleep Apnea Severity Associated With RNFL Damage
Researchers say patients with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea have significantly thinner median average retinal nerve fiber layers than patients without it.
OCT Could Be Key to Early Parkinson’s Diagnosis
Retinal layers may show early signs of the neurodegenerative condition.
Young People Less Likely to Seek Diabetic Retinopathy Screening
Young adults are less likely to attend screenings for diabetic retinopathy, putting them at risk of becoming visually impaired.
Oxybutynin May Effectively Reduces Severity of Primary Hyperhidrosis
The effectiveness of oral oxybutynin in hyperhidrosis, besides its tolerance and safety, was evaluated in a real-life study.
Case of Older Woman With Bilateral Ptosis and Diplopia
Fluctuating bilateral ptosis, binocular diplopia, and fatigue without pupillaryabnormalities raise the clinical index of suspicion for myasthenia gravis.
Visually Impaired Individuals Less Likely to Seek Cancer-Screenings
Researchers found a connection between keratoconus and low vitamin D levels.
Vitrectomy Riskier in Younger Patients
Researchers show how the risks of the disease and the procedure meant to address it affect different age groups.
