Mashup Score: 6Post hoc Analysis of Role of Etanercept in Ocular Sequelae of Stevens–Johnson Syndrome - 12 day(s) ago
Stevens–Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN) often leads to substantial ocular surface damage.1-4 Systemic prednisolone has been previously described as a treatment for acute SJS/TEN with variable results; however, a recent study suggests that etanercept is a safe and more effective treatment with superior skin healing and lower mortality rate (8.3% vs 16.3%) when compared to treatment with prednisolone.5 Therefore, etanercept treatment may also reduce ocular complications in SJS/TEN.

Mashup Score: 25Evaluation of a retinal projection laser eyewear in subjects with visual impairment caused by corneal diseases in a randomized trial - 5 month(s) ago
Patients with incurable corneal diseases experience visual impairment despite having a healthy retina and optic pathway. Low vision aids (LVAs) are prescribed to optimize the use of remaining vision through magnification and contrast enhancement, but do not fully utilize the patient’s visual capacity since they rely on the optic media. Therefore, we investigated a novel laser-eyewear (LEW) technology that bypasses the anterior segment of the eye. Images captured by an integrated camera are directly projected onto the retina using a low-energy-class-I-RGB-laser.

Mashup Score: 112Cystic Focal Ectasia Due to Moraxella Keratitis Identified in Formalin-Fixed Tissue - 7 month(s) ago
A 21-month-old with Moebius syndrome presented with parental concern of increased right eye rubbing. The eyes had symmetric moderate conjunctival injection, with 6-8 mm lagophthalmos bilaterally. Examination under anesthesia revealed a soft eye with shallow anterior chamber, and a 5 × 4 mm, minimally opaque cystic protuberance in the right nasal cornea that was subtlety Seidel-positive (A, B). Intraoperative OCT demonstrated large cystic fluid cavities throughout the effected corneal stroma, with communication to the anterior chamber (C).

Post hoc analysis shows benefit from etanercept 25 or 50mg for Stevens–Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis with severe ocular involvement, outperforming IV prednisolone in several metrics. https://t.co/KyQs3vHLGZ #ophthalmology #cornea https://t.co/K1R7iHaBua
