The yield of imaging in Horner syndrome has been explored only children. This study evaluates the adults.This was a retrospective cohort 52 patients with examined 2 neuro-ophthalmology hospital clinics. Patients were divided into 3 groups according to ability determine etiology at time first consultation: group I, known initial neuro-ophthalmologic examination; II, not examination, but sufficient information obtained allow targeted imaging; and III, imaging. investigation frequency different...

Behçet disease (BD) is a multisystemic that commonly involves the eyes. Although it affects patients in all age groups, data on ocular by of onset are limited. This retrospective, multicenter study aimed to compare epidemiology, systemic and manifestations, treatments outcomes between three groups: juvenile (<18 years), adult (18–39 years) late (≥40 onset. The included 175 BD (303 eyes) from Israel Palestine: juvenile-onset (n = 25, 14.3%), adult-onset 120, 68.6%) late-onset 30, 17.1%)....

Abstract Prolonged steroid treatment has a suppressive effect on the immune system, however, its cellular response to mRNA vaccine is unknown. Here we assessed impact of prolonged T-cell and humoral SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) peptide following third dose BNT162b2 in systemic autoimmune rheumatic disease patients. We found that CD4 S patients high-dose long-term showed significantly less S-peptide specific response, compare low-dose or untreated Remarkably, these results were not reflected their...
