“…Similar to previous reports, intermediate uveitis was the least common (8.4%) anatomical type of uveitis and constituted mainly idiopathic cases, including pars planitis (2,(7)(8)(9)(10)12,13,36).…”

“…The striking result for anterior uveitis in our study is the high proportion of herpetic uveitis and the relatively low frequency of spondylarthropathies, reported as the most common cause of anterior uveitis in different studies (9,22,27,34). In previous epidemiologic studies, the frequency of herpetic uveitis varied between 3.2% and 24.4% (9,10,12,13,23,35,36) and made up 1%-33.7% (8,31) of anterior uveitis cases. In concordance with these reports, herpetic uveitis made up 6.8% of our cases and anterior uveitis 15.5%.…”

A series of (E) -3- (3-(2,3-dihydro-3-methyl-2-oxo-3 H -benzoxazole-6-yl)-1-phenyl-1 H -pyrazole-4-yl)acrylamides (7a-k) were synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro inhibitory activities on COX-1 and COX-2 isoforms using a human whole blood assay as well as their antiplatelet profile against human platelet aggregation using arachidonic acid as agonists. Among the synthesized derivatives 7a-k, especially compound 7g exhibited dual anti-inflammatory and antiplatelet activity with selective COX-2 inhibition.

“…Furthermore, in a systematic analysis by Zeboulon et al, [11] the prevalence of uveitis in SpA was 32.7%, and this percentage increased with longer disease duration. In a retrospective study of patients presenting with various uveitis subtypes, Chan et al [12] found that anterior uveitis was diagnosed in half of the subjects, with the most common diagnoses being HLA-B27-associated diseases (20.8%), AS (9.6%), herpes infections (7.6%), and sarcoidosis (6.2%). In addition, a negative test for HLA-B27 was a prognostic factor for the presence of anterior uveitis and axial involvement in several follow-up reports that focused on AS patients.…”

Bu yazıda, sarkoidoz remisyonunda iken inflamatuvar bel ağrısı ve üveit ile başvuran 49 yaşında bir erkek olgu sunuldu. Diferansiye olmamış spondiloartropati ve sarkoidoz birlikteliği, muhtemel etyolojik ilişki göz önünde bulundurularak, tanı ve tedavideki mevcut zorluklar eşliğinde irdelendi.Anahtar sözcükler: İnflamatuvar bel ağrısı; sarkoidoz; spondiloartropati; üveit.In this article, we present a 49-year-old male case who was admitted with inflammatory back pain and uveitis when he was in remission for sarcoidosis. The concomitance of undifferentiated spondyloarthropathy and sarcoidosis with an emphasis on their possible etiological association was also discussed in the light of current diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.

“…7,8 In the 2007 National Physician Survey in Canada, only 4.0% of ophthalmologists reported that their practice primarily served the needs of residents from rural and remote areas. 9,10 These results were mirrored in the 2010 Ontario Physicians Human Resources Data Centre (OPHRDC) Report, which indicated that there was 1 ophthalmologist to 11,808 residents in the Toronto Central Local Health Integrated Network (LHIN), compared to 1 ophthalmologist to a range of 22,226 – 68,641 residents in the relatively rural North Simcoe-Muskoka LHIN. 11,12 In Canadian cities with populations of 10,000– 25,000, people have to travel on average 91 km to reach the nearest ophthalmologist.…”
