Dual biologic therapy in inflammatory bowel disease, a retrospective cohort study of vedolizumab and anti‐tumor necrosis factor alpha therapy in children

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Despite advances in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (PIBD) with biologics, remission rates remain at 47%–60% with loss‐of‐response rates at 60%–68%. Evidence for efficacy of dual biologic therapy (DBT) with anti‐tumor necrosis factor alpha therapy (anti‐TNF‐α)‐ vedolizumab (VDZ) for children refractory to anti‐TNF‐α therapy is ...

Stem Cell‐Based Approaches for Neurotrophic Keratopathy: From Ocular Surface to Neuro‐Ophthalmology

Sensory Neuroscience, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Neurotrophic keratopathy is an uncommon, but potentially sight‐threatening, corneal disorder that results from impaired trigeminal sensory innervation. The loss of corneal sensation disrupts epithelial stability, weakens wound healing, and may lead to persistent epithelial defects, stromal ulceration, and, in the most advanced cases, corneal ...

16S/18S metabarcoding versus culture for aetiological assessment in infectious keratitis: A prospective paired‐sample study

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Infectious keratitis (IK) is a vision‐threatening condition with diverse microbial aetiologies, yet conventional culture‐based diagnostics often have limited sensitivity. We investigated whether 16S/18S rRNA amplicon‐based next‐generation sequencing (NGS) can enhance aetiological assessment when used alongside standard microbiological ...

Ocular Manifestations of Metabolic Syndrome: A Systemic Vascular Phenotype

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Context Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is defined by central obesity, insulin resistance, hypertension and dyslipidemia. MetS affects over one‐third of US adults. Beyond its cardiovascular burden, MetS has clinically relevant associations with ocular health and may contribute to a systemic vascular and neuro‐metabolic phenotype involving the retina,
