Summary
Optic disc neovascularization is rare in uveitis, typically linked to chronic inflammatory conditions. This study reports the first known cases of optic disc neovascularization in tubercular serpiginous-like choroiditis.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Inflammatory Eye Diseases
- Infectious Diseases
Background:
- Optic disc neovascularization (ODN) is an uncommon complication of uveitis.
- It is often associated with chronic systemic inflammatory diseases such as Behcet's disease, Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease, and sarcoidosis.
Observation:
- This report details three cases of ocular inflammation.
- The patients presented with features suggestive of tubercular serpiginous-like choroiditis.
Findings:
- Optic disc neovascularization was observed in all three patients.
- This represents the first documented association between ODN and tubercular serpiginous-like choroiditis.
Implications:
- The findings expand the spectrum of conditions associated with ODN.
- Highlights the importance of considering tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis of uveitis with ODN, especially in endemic regions.

01:17Design Example: Calculating Safe Diameter for Wind-Exposed Disc
357
Assessing safety in wind-exposed installations is crucial to preventing potential failures. This example explores the calculation and design adjustments needed to mount a circular disc on a building facade, where wind forces are a primary concern. A 4-meter diameter disc was initially designed as an aesthetic feature facing winds at a velocity of 25 meters per second, with an air density of 1.25 kilograms per cubic meter. Given these conditions, the drag force on the disc was determined using...

02:24Properties of Enantiomers and Optical Activity
21.5K
It is essential to understand the difference between chiral and achiral interactions and the implications thereof in optical activity and their applications. Just as our feet, which are chiral, interact uniquely with chiral objects, such as a pair of shoes, but identically with achiral socks, enantiomers of a molecule exhibit different properties only when they interact with other chiral media. An example of a significant implication from this facet is the phenomenon known as optical activity,...

Optical microscopy uses optic principles to provide detailed images of samples. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek designed the first compound optical microscope in the 17th century to visualize blood cells, bacteria, and yeast cells. In 1830, Joseph Jackson Lister created an essentially modern light microscope. The 20th century saw the development of microscopes with enhanced magnification and resolution.

Isomerism in Complexes
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...

01:24Vision
59.4K
Vision is the result of light being detected and transduced into neural signals by the retina of the eye. This information is then further analyzed and interpreted by the brain. First, light enters the front of the eye and is focused by the cornea and lens onto the retina—a thin sheet of neural tissue lining the back of the eye. Because of refraction through the convex lens of the eye, images are projected onto the retina upside-down and reversed.
