Authors:
Pinar Nalcacioglu-Yuksekkaya Pinar C Ozdal Alper Yazici Hakan Tirhis

Ocul Immunol Inflamm 2015 Aug 1;23(4):304-310. Epub 2014 Aug 1.

a Ulucanlar Eye Training and Research Hospital , Ankara , Turkey and.

Purpose: To evaluate uveitis cases presenting at older ages for the first time.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data related to the 90 eyes of 68 patients who presented with a first episode of uveitis at the age of ≥60 years and were seen at the Uveitis Division of the Ulucanlar Eye Hospital from 1996 to 2013.

Results: The location of the uveitis was anterior in 51 (75%) patients. Nine patients (13.2%) presented with panuveitis, 5 (7.3%) with posterior uveitis, and 3 (4.4%) patients with intermediate uveitis. Idiopathic uveitis in 23 (33.8%) and presumed herpetic anterior uveitis in 23 (33.8%) patients were the most common diagnoses, while other diagnostic entities accounted for 22 (32.3%) patients. The most common complications were elevation of intraocular pressure in 17.7%, cystoid macular edema (CME) in 11.1%, and corneal scar in 11.1% of eyes.

Conclusions: While idiopathic uveitis and presumed herpetic anterior uveitis were the most common causes, although in an endemic country, Behçet disease was not a common cause of uveitis in the elderly population.

Use of a Telemedicine Risk Assessment Tool to Predict the Risk of Hospitalization of 496 Outpatients with COVID-19: Retrospective Analysis.

Authors:
James B O'Keefe Elizabeth J Tong Thomas H Taylor Ghazala A Datoo O'Keefe David C Tong

JMIR Public Health Surveill 2021 Feb 26. Epub 2021 Feb 26.

Division of Hospital Medicine, Department of Medicine, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, US.

Background: Risk assessment of patients with acute coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in a telemedicine context is not well described. In the setting of large numbers of patients, a risk assessment tool may guide resource allocation not only for patient care but also for maximum healthcare and public health benefit.

Objective: Determine whether a COVID-19 telemedicine risk assessment tool accurately predicts hospitalizations. Read More

Rheumatology, Hospital Universitario Marqués de Valdecilla, IDIVAL, Universidad de Cantabria, Santander, Spain.

Objectives: Rapid control of intraocular inflammation in non-infectious uveitis (NIU) is mandatory to avoid irreversible structural and functional damage. In this study, we assessed the efficacy and safety of intravenous methylprednisolone (IVMP) pulses in the treatment of NIU.

Methods: A retrospective case series of 112 patients who received IVMP for the treatment of NIU, either isolated or associated with different underlying diseases, was studied. Read More
