Idiopathic achalasia is a disease of unknown etiology. The loss myenteric plexus associated with inflammatory infiltrates and autoantibodies support the hypothesis an autoimmune mechanism. Thirty-two patients diagnosed by high-resolution manometry were included. Twenty-six specimens from lower esophageal sphincter muscle compared 5 esophagectomy biopsies (control). Immunohistochemical (biopsies) flow cytometry (peripheral blood) analyses performed. Circulating anti-myenteric evaluated...
Outcome data are limited regarding early experience with brolucizumab, the most recently approved anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) agent for treatment of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).To report clinical outcomes after intravitreous injection (IVI) 6 mg, nAMD.This retrospective case series conducted at 15 private or academic ophthalmological centers in United States included all consecutive patients eyes treated brolucizumab by retina specialists between...
BACKGROUND: The exposure of phosphatidylserine occurs during platelet (PLT) activation and in vitro storage. Phosphatidylserine also apoptosis after the release mitochondrial cytochrome c . We have examined role release, membrane potential (ΔΨm), cyclophilin D (CypD) due to STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: loss ΔΨm were determined a flow cytometer using fluorescein isothiocyanate–lactadherin JC‐1, lipophilic cationic reporter dye. CypD was with cyclosporin A CypD‐deficient murine PLTs. Cytochrome...
Abstract S jögren's syndrome ( SS ) is an autoimmune disease characterized by lymphocytic infiltration of the salivary and lacrimal glands. The aim study was to characterize compare presence diverse cytokines regulatory T B cells in lip minor gland MSG biopsies from patients with primary Sjögren's pSS ), secondary sSS connective tissue CTD without (w/o) . We included samples 15 p , 24 (six scleroderma, nine rheumatoid arthritis lupus patients) w/o Tissues were examined indirect...
We compared the presence of diverse cytokines and regulatory T B cells in skin biopsies discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) subacute cutaneous (SCLE). included 19 patients with DLE, 13 SCLE, 8 healthy controls, 5 hypertrophic scars. assessed CLASI activity score. To determine IL-22-producing subpopulation CD4(+)/IL-17A(+)-, CD4(+)/IL-4(+)-, CD4(+)/IFN-γ (+)-expressing cells, CD123(+)/IDO(+) pDCs, CD25(+)/Foxp3(+) Tregs, CD20(+)/IL-10(+)-producing an immunostaining procedure was performed. Also...
To describe characteristics of choroidal osteomas (CO), using ocular ultrasound, fluorescein angiography, ultra-widefield retinal imaging, autofluorescence, optical coherence tomography, enhanced-depth-imaging OCT, and OCT angiography (OCT-A).Retrospective, observational case series study. Clinical records from patients with diagnosis CO who underwent complete imaging evaluation were analyzed.Sixteen eyes 11 included. Mean patient age was 33.4 years (range 20-61), 72.7% female, 100%...
Dermatophilus congolensis, which affects animal species, is an uncommon human infection. Few cases, mainly in tropical areas, have been reported. We describe the first infection Spain a traveler returning from Central America. Diagnosis of may be underestimated people contact with animals.
To the Editor: We read with great interest recent publication on ocular findings of patients coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and Asia-Pacific Academy Ophthalmology (APAO) prevention guidelines for ophthalmic practices by Wong colleagues.1 Anterior segment consistent conjunctivitis, including conjunctival discharge, hyperemia, chemosis, epiphora, lid swelling, and/or increased secretions have been reported in COVID-19 specimens positive severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2)...
Uno de los principales problemas urológicos presentes en pacientes con obesidad es la urolitiasis. Aunque existen múltiples mecanismos por que esta relación puede explicarse, hoy día existe escasa información sobre entre mórbida (IMC > 35 kg/m2) y superobesidad 50 el riesgo formación litiasis renal sus posibles consecuencias. Evaluar frecuencia alteraciones perfil obesidad, superobesidad. Se diseñó un estudio transversal donde se invitó a seguimiento consulta del Programa Atención Pacientes...
To report the case of a patient with X-linked juvenile retinoschisis (XLRS), caused by an in-frame deletion RS1 gene, who presented visual loss due to bilateral central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC).Methods: Observational report.A 34-year-old man, type-A personality, one-month history decreased acuity and metamorphopsia in his right eye. Funduscopic examination showed dome-like foveal elevation both eyes (OU), as well subtle pigmentary changes retinal pigment epithelium tapetal reflex...
