Purpose:

This study analyses the efficacy and safety of combination of methotrexate and mycophenolate mofetil with treatment-resistant uveitis and scleritis. Method: Retrospective Chart Review.

Result:

The study included five patients with uveitis and one with scleritis who received combination of antimetabolites. The median age of these patients was 19.5 years, and all of them had bilateral involvement. Two patients had Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis while one patient each had Behçet's disease, Eales disease, undifferentiated anterior scleritis and pars planitis. The median duration of immunosuppressive and/or corticosteroid treatment before switching to combined therapy was 217 (192-1325) days. Remission of uveitis was achieved in all patients. The median duration of follow-up in these patients was 338.5 (209-901) days. At the end of the follow-up, topical steroids were withdrawn in three eyes, and oral corticosteroids were tapered off completely. All except one patient tolerated the combined treatment.

Conclusion:

The combination of oral methotrexate and mycophenolate mofetil can be a useful alternative in patients resistant to conventional immunosuppression.

Resistors In Series

Resistors In Series

A resistor is an ohmic device that limits the flow of charge in a circuit. Most circuits have more than one resistor. If several resistors are connected together and connected to a battery, the current supplied by the battery depends on the equivalent resistance of the circuit. The equivalent resistance of a combination of resistors depends on both their individual values and how they are connected. The simplest combination of resistors is the series combination.
In a series circuit, the...

Series Resonance

Series Resonance

The RLC circuit impedance is defined as the ratio of the supply voltage to the circuit current. Resonance in such a circuit occurs when the imaginary part of this impedance equals zero. This specific condition means that the inductive reactance is exactly equal to the capacitive reactance. The frequency at which this happens is known as the resonant frequency. Mathematically, the resonant frequency is inversely proportional to the square root of the product of the inductance (L) and capacitance...

Series and Parallel Capacitors

Series and Parallel Capacitors

Capacitors, fundamental components in electronic circuits, can be connected in series and/or parallel configurations. Each configuration has different impacts on the overall behavior of the circuit.
First, consider capacitors connected in series to a battery. In this configuration, the plate connected to the battery's positive terminal develops a positive charge, while the plate attached to the negative terminal becomes negatively charged. An equal magnitude of charge is induced on the...

Trigonometric Fourier series

Trigonometric Fourier series

Fourier series is a foundational mathematical technique that decomposes periodic functions into an infinite series of sinusoidal harmonics. This method enables the representation of complex periodic signals as sums of simple sine and cosine functions, facilitating their analysis and interpretation in various fields, including signal processing, acoustics, and electrical engineering.
The trigonometric Fourier series specifically expresses a periodic function with a defined period T using sine...

Convergence of Fourier Series

Convergence of Fourier Series

The Fourier series is a powerful mathematical tool for representing periodic signals as an infinite sum of complex exponentials. In practice, this infinite series is truncated to a finite number of terms, yielding a partial sum. This truncation makes the approximation of the signal feasible but introduces certain challenges, particularly near discontinuities, known as the Gibbs phenomenon.
The Gibbs phenomenon refers to the persistent oscillations and overshoots that occur near discontinuities...

Series R—L Circuit Transients

Series R—L Circuit Transients

In a series resistor-inductor (R-L) circuit, closing the switch at the start of the time period simulates a three-phase short circuit, a fault condition where all three phases of an unloaded synchronous machine are short-circuited. When there is no fault impedance and no initial current, the initial voltage is determined by the phase angle of the source voltage.
Using Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) to analyze this circuit helps determine the total asymmetrical fault current, which consists...
