Retinal dystrophies simulating geographic atrophy: A diagnostic challenge

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Geographic atrophy (GA) is the chronic loss of retinal pigment epithelium, photoreceptors and choriocapillaris, marking the dry late stage of age‐related macular degeneration (AMD). GA prevalence is expected to rise in the upcoming decades. Advanced GA leads to central scotomas, reducing visual acuity and quality of life, potentially resulting

Prevalence and Risk Factors of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus in Patients With Chronic Cutaneous Lupus: A Bicentric Study Employing Three Classification Criteria

International Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
This bicentric study of 95 CCLE patients shows SLE prevalence (21.1%–31.6%) varies significantly by classification criteria. Arthralgia was a consistent independent risk factor across all systems. Our findings support the implementation of systematic risk‐stratified screening protocols for CCLE patients, with particular attention to joint symptoms and ...
