چکیده

Comment. The results suggest that in nonglaucomatous monkey globes, the CCT and the peripheral corneal thickness are not significantly correlated with the thickness of the lamina cribrosa in the center or at the periphery of the optic nerve head. They are also not associated with the thickness of the peripapillary sclera inside the optic nerve meninges or just outside the meninges. Confirming findings from studies on human globes, our study makes one infer that an assumed relationship between the CCT and glaucoma susceptibility may not be explained by corresponding anatomy between corneal thickness and histomorphometry of the optic nerve head.

Sarcoidosis-associated fibrosing mediastinitis with resultant pulmonary hypertension: a case report and review of the literature.

Pulmonary hypertension, a common manifestation of advanced sarcoidosis, is thought to result from fibrosis with chronic hypoxia and destruction of small vessels, extrinsic compression of pulmonary arteries, or granulomatous vasculitis. We report a case of sarcoidosis-associated pulmonary hypertension due to fibrosing mediastinitis. Our patient presented with cough and dyspnea on exertion and wa...

Debilitating Bilateral Fibrosing Lumbar Plexopathy in a Patient with Systemic Sclerosis Sine Scleroderma

Systemic sclerosis is an autoimmune fibrotic disease which only rarely affects peripheral nerves. When it occurs, nerve damage is usually mediated by entrapment or small vessel vasculitis. Here we report the first case of bilateral lumbar fibrosing plexopathy in a patient with SSc sine scleroderma, an unusual form of SSc. Neurological symptoms were controlled with high dose prednisone and cyclo...
