Mydriasis as a Secondary Effect in Patients With HLA‐B27–Associated Uveitis

Medicine Advances, EarlyView.
HLA‐B27‐associated acute anterior uveitis causes significant inflammation of the iris and anterior chamber, which disrupts normal parasympathetic control and results in increased sympathetic tone leading to pupil dilation (mydriasis). This finding can sometimes resemble herpetic uveitis, making a clinical context and careful evaluation crucial for ...

Chiropractic spinal manipulative therapy versus physical therapist‐led exercise and the risk of cauda equina syndrome in adults with lumbar disc herniation, stenosis, or radiculopathy

PM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Cauda equina syndrome is a surgical emergency often caused by lumbar disc herniation. Spinal manipulative therapy is commonly used for lumbar spine disorders, but case reports have raised concerns it may precipitate cauda equina syndrome. One cohort study suggested no increased risk, although it did not focus on patients with lumbar
