Atopic Keratoconjunctivitis: Pathophysiology, Clinic, and Potential New Therapeutic Concepts
Klin Monbl Augenheilkd. 2024 Apr 11. doi: 10.1055/a-2244-2885. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAtopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic recurrent inflammatory skin disease with a bipolar age distribution in childhood, adolescence and middle adulthood. Up to 50% of AD patients show ocular involvement, which can be potentially sight threatening. Clinically, the majority of cases present with atopic blepharo(kerato)conjunctivitis or atopic keratoconjunctivitis (AKC); other clinical variants from this group of inflammatory ocular surface diseases are keratoconjunctivitis vernalis in childhood and adolescence and allergic conjunctivit...

Giant Cell Arteritis
Klin Monbl Augenheilkd. 2024 Apr 9. doi: 10.1055/a-2252-3371. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGiant cell arteritis (GCA) is the most common primary vasculitis and is associated with potential bilateral blindness. Neither clinical nor laboratory evidence is simple and unequivocal for this disease, which usually requires rapid and reliable diagnosis and therapy. The ophthalmologist should consider GCA with the following ocular symptoms: visual loss or visual field defects, transient visual disturbances (amaurosis fugax), diplopia, eye pain, or new onset head or jaw claudication. An immediate ophthalmological examination with s...

Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK) Anesthesia Analysis
CONCLUSION: DMEK under topical anesthesia is feasible and shows comparable final visual outcomes but should be limited to selected cooperative patients and performed by experienced surgeons due to the potential for increased intraoperative challenges.PMID:38574678 | DOI:10.1055/a-2268-9295 (Source: Klinische Monatsblatter fur Augenheilkunde)

Intravitreal Injections: Improving Sustainability by Reducing Clinical Waste
CONCLUSION: A resource-saving approach to intravitreal injections can minimise the generation of clinical waste and its associated carbon footprint, thereby supporting sustainability.PMID:38574679 | DOI:10.1055/a-2184-9492 (Source: Klinische Monatsblatter fur Augenheilkunde)

Ocular Involvement in Selected Rheumatic Diseases - Clinical Manifestation in Adulthood
Klin Monbl Augenheilkd. 2024 Apr 4. doi: 10.1055/a-2239-0412. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOcular manifestations of rheumatic diseases are common and contribute significantly to the morbidity and reduced quality of life of affected patients. Knowledge of typical clinical manifestations is important for the rheumatologist in order to support the reference of patients with corresponding symptoms for ophthalmological consultation at an early stage of disease, or to initiate regular screening examinations (e.g. in patients with Behçet's syndrome). Conversely, a (possibly urgent) rheumatological assessment is crucial for cert...

Qualit ätskontrolle in der Hornhautbank mit KI: Vergleich des neuen Deep-Learning-basierten Ansatzes mit der konventionellen Endothelzelldichtenbestimmung durch das Rhine-Tec System
This study aims to compare this new method with the conventional Rhine-Tec system. 9,375 archived phase-contrast microscopic images of consecutive grafts from the Lions Eye Bank were evaluated with the deep learning method and compared with the corresponding archived analyses of the Rhine-Tec system. Specifically, comparisons of means, Bland-Altman and correlation analyses were performed. Comparable results were obtained for both methods. The mean difference between the Rhine-Tec system and the deep learning method was only -23 cells/mm2 (95% confidence interval -29 to -17). There was a statistically significant positive c...
