RESUMEN
PURPOSE: To discuss the diagnosis and management of a rare case of endogenous endophthalmitis (EE) caused by Paenibacillus lautus mimicking granulomatous uveitis in a child, highlighting the use of 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing as an accurate method to identify rare pathogens. METHOD: A retrospective chart review of the clinical presentation, microbiologic workup-including microscopy, culture, antibiotic susceptibility, and polymerase chain reaction for pathogen DNA of clinical samples-and the clinical management of the case were recorded. RESULT: A 13-year-old boy presented with decreased vision in the right eye for one month. On examination, he had uveitis with hypopyon and complicated cataract. The case underwent an anterior chamber tap followed by vitrectomy and lensectomy. The culture of the vitreous aspirate grew Gram-variable bacilli that could not be identified by conventional microbiological techniques. However, PCR-based sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene was performed, and the bacterium was identified as P. lautus. The patient subsequently developed rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, for which he underwent endo laser photocoagulation and oil tamponade. Four months later, silicone oil was removed, and an intraocular lens was implanted. At six weeks follow-up, the retina remained well attached, and intraocular pressure was maintained. CONCLUSION: P. lautus can cause EE and mimic granulomatous uveitis. Techniques such as 16S rRNA gene sequencing can significantly facilitate aetiological diagnosis in cases where conventional methods fail.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the appropriateness of responses generated by an online chat-based artificial intelligence (AI) model for diabetic retinopathy (DR) related questions. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. METHODS: A set of 20 questions framed from the patient's perspective addressing DR-related queries, such as the definition of disease, symptoms, prevention methods, treatment options, diagnostic methods, visual impact, and complications, were formulated for input into ChatGPT-4. Peer-reviewed, literature-based answers were collected from popular search engines for the selected questions and three retinal experts reviewed the responses. An inter-human agreement was analyzed for consensus expert responses and also between experts. The answers generated by the AI model were compared with those provided by the experts. The experts rated the response generated by ChatGPT-4 on a scale of 0-5 for appropriateness and completeness. RESULTS: The answers provided by ChatGPT-4 were appropriate and complete for most of the DR-related questions. The response to questions on the adverse effects of laser photocoagulation therapy and compliance to treatment was not perfectly complete. The average rating given by the three retina expert evaluators was 4.84 for appropriateness and 4.38 for completeness of answers provided by the AI model. This corresponds to an overall 96.8% agreement among the experts for appropriateness and 87.6% for completeness regarding AI-generated answers. CONCLUSION: ChatGPT-4 exhibits a high level of accuracy in generating appropriate responses for a range of questions in DR. However, there is a need to improvise the model to generate complete answers for certain DR-related topics.

PURPOSE: This study was aimed to evaluate the agreement between the swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT)-based biometry, fundus photographs, and their combination, in comparison to the gold standard spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) for the detection of center-involving diabetic macular edema (CI-DME). METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cross-sectional study involving 55 subjects (78 eyes) diagnosed with diabetic macular edema (DME) detected clinically and on SD-OCT (Carl Zeiss Meditec AG). Post-mydriatic 45-degree color fundus photograph (Crystal-Vue NFC-700), 1 mm macular scan obtained from SS-OCT-based biometry (IOL-Master 700), and macula cube scan obtained from SD-OCT was used to detect and grade DME into CI-DME and NCI-DME. RESULTS: Our findings revealed that SS-OCT-based biometry was noted to have a high sensitivity of 1 (0.94-1.00) and a specificity of 0.63 (0.31-0.89) in detecting CI-DME compared to the gold standard (SD-OCT). When combined with data from fundus photographs, specificity decreased to 0.32 (0.15-0.53). Fundus photographs alone exhibited a low sensitivity of 0.52 (0.38-0.64) and a specificity of 0.45 (0.16-0.76) in CI-DME detection. CONCLUSION: In conclusion, SS-OCT-based biometry can be used as an effective tool for the detection of CI-DME in diabetic patients undergoing cataract surgery and can serve as a screening tool in centers without SD-OCT facilities.

RESUMEN
Considerable research exists on the life history traits, evolutionary history, and environmental factors that shape the population genetic structure of marine organisms, including sharks and rays. Conservation concerns are particularly strong for this group as they are highly susceptible to anthropogenic stressors due to a combination of life history traits including late maturity and low fecundity. Here, we provide a review and synthesis of the global phylogeography of sharks and rays. We examined existing data for 40 species of sharks belonging to 17 genera and 19 species of rays belonging to 11 genera. Median joining haplotype networks were constructed for each species for the mtDNA cytochrome C oxidase subunit I (COI), and an Analysis of Molecular Variance (AMOVA) was conducted to understand patterns of genetic diversity and structure across the three major ocean basins-the Indian, Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Haplotype networks showed very shallow coalescence in most species, a finding previously reported for marine teleosts. Star topologies were predominant among sharks while complex mutational topologies predominated among rays, a finding we attribute to extremely limited dispersal in the early life history of rays. Population structuring varied amongst species groups, apparently due to differences in life history traits including reproductive philopatry, site fidelity, pelagic habitat, migratory habits, and dispersal ability. In comparison to reef-associated and demersal species, pelagic and semi pelagic species showed lower levels of structure between and within ocean basins. As expected, there is variation between taxa and groups, but there are also some broad patterns that can guide management and conservation strategies.

Purpose: Inherited retinal dystrophies (IRD) are a heterogeneous group of retinal diseases leading to progressive loss of photoreceptors through apoptosis. Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is considered the most common form of IRD. Panel-based testing in RP has proven effective in identifying the causative genetic mutations in 70% and 80% of the patients. This is a retrospective, observational, single-center study of 107 RP patients who had undergone next-generation sequencing-based targeted gene panel testing for IRD genes. These patients were inspected for common phenotypic features to arrive at meaningful genotype-phenotype correlation. Methods: Patients underwent complete ophthalmic examination, and blood was collected from the proband for DNA extraction after documenting the pedigree. Targeted Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) was done by panel-based testing for IRD genes followed by co-segregation analysis wherever applicable. Results: Of the 107 patients, 72 patients had pathogenic mutations. The mean age of onset of symptoms was 14 ± 12 years (range: 5-55). Mean (Best Corrected Visual Acuity) BCVA was 6/48 (0.9 logMAR) (range 0.0-3.0). At presentation, over one-third of eyes had BCVA worse than 6/60 (<1 logMAR). Phenotype analysis with the gene defects showed overlapping features, such as peripheral well-defined chorioretinal atrophic patches in patients with CERKL, PROM1, and RPE65 gene mutations and large macular lesions in patients with RDH12 and CRX gene mutations, respectively. Nummular or clump-like pigmentation was noted in CRB1, TTC8, PDE6A, and PDE6B. Conclusion: NGS-based genetic testing can help clinicians to diagnose RP more accurately, and phenotypic correlations can also help in better patient counselling with respect to prognosis and guidance regarding ongoing newer gene-based therapies.

Although elasmobranchs (sharks and rays) are highly threatened by fisheries, there are few studies that examine gear and fishery effects on catch composition and abundance across India, one of the top elasmobranch fishing nations globally. We assessed elasmobranch diversity, abundance, catch rates and fishery characteristics using landing surveys in Malvan on the central-western coast of India, a major multi-gear, multi-species fishing centre, over three sampling periods from February 2018 to March 2020. We sampled 3145 fishing trips and recorded 27 elasmobranch species, of which nearly half are categorised as "Threatened" by the IUCN. In addition, we documented historical records by compiling information from identification guides, research papers, articles and reports. During the study period, the catch was dominated by small-sized coastal species like the spadenose shark (Scoliodon laticaudus) and the scaly whipray (Brevitrygon walga). Trawlers accounted for 64.9% of the catch, highest by number, and captured smaller-sized individuals. Nonetheless, artisanal and gillnet fisheries had higher catch per unit effort (CPUE) for rays (5.1 ± 1.0) and sharks (10 ± 1.0), respectively, and captured significantly larger-sized individuals. Through generalised linear models, we found seasonal, gear and fishery effects on the abundance and size of commonly caught species. The presence of neonates and gravid females of multiple species also suggests nursery grounds in this region. Historically, 141 species have been recorded in this region, and a comparison with current catch suggests a shift in elasmobranch community structure and potential mesopredator release. This study emphasises the importance of gear and species-specific research for conservation planning at the local level and suggests the need for management strategies with fisher cooperation.

PURPOSE: To describe a case of retinal vascular occlusion and cerebrovascular accident following axitinib therapy. METHODS: A retrospective chart review. RESULT: A 65-year-old gentleman with a history of renal cell carcinoma and subsequent metastases to the brain was on axitinib at an oral daily dose of 10 mg. The patient reported a loss in vision in the right, followed by the left eye, and suffered an episode of cerebrovascular accident. Retinal examination revealed right eye optic nerve pallor with sclerosed vessels, possibly sequelae of central retinal vein occlusion, and left eye showed multiple retinal hemorrhages in all quadrants with macular edema, suggestive of central retinal vein occlusion. He was not a known hypertensive, his renal carcinoma was in remission, and his other systemic parameters were within acceptable limits. CONCLUSIONS: Axitinib can cause retinal vein occlusions, and clinicians, both oncologists, and ophthalmologists need to be aware of this rare but potentially blinding side effect.

PURPOSE: : To report the anatomic and visual outcomes following macular buckling in patients affected by pathological myopia-associated foveoschisis (FS) and macular detachment with or without macular hole (MH). METHODS: A retrospective interventional consecutive case series wherein 25 highly myopic eyes (mean axial length 28.46 mm; range, 25-33.8 mm) of 24 patients (16 females and 8 males; mean age 54.1 years; range, 35-74 years) presenting with macular detachment associated with a posterior staphyloma (PS), who underwent macular buckling, were evaluated. Patients with absence or reduction in subretinal fluid by more than 90% during the final follow-up along with inversion of contour of staphyloma were considered to have a successful anatomical outcome and those with improvement or maintenance in visual acuity were considered to have a successful functional outcome. The mean duration of follow-up was 11.2 months. RESULTS: At the time of initial presentation, the mean age of the 24 patients was 54.1 ± 10.28 years. Macular detachment along with FS was present in all cases, whereas full-thickness macular hole-related retinal detachment was present in nine cases. Swept-source optical coherence tomography parameters showed reduction of FS with foveal reattachment in all eyes except one at last visit. Mean axial length decreased from 28.5 mm preoperatively (range 26-33.8 mm) to 26.2 mm (range 24-29.3 mm). The mean best-corrected visual acuity changed from 1.16 log MAR to 1.096 Log MAR (P = 0.165). Visual acuity improved in 10 eyes (40%), remained stable in 11 eyes (44%) and decreased in 4 eyes (16%). CONCLUSION: Macular buckling is a good surgical technique with encouraging anatomic and visual outcomes in patients with myopic macular detachment associated with PS. Highly selective cases of myopic traction maculopathy can have a viable option of macular buckle surgery in stabilizing the retinal tractional changes, and thereby, vision loss.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate diabetic retinopathy (DR) screening via deep learning (DL) and trained human graders (HG) in a longitudinal cohort, as case spectrum shifts based on treatment referral and new-onset DR. METHODS: We randomly selected patients with diabetes screened twice, two years apart within a nationwide screening program. The reference standard was established via adjudication by retina specialists. Each patient's color fundus photographs were graded, and a patient was considered as having sight-threatening DR (STDR) if the worse eye had severe nonproliferative DR, proliferative DR, or diabetic macular edema. We compared DR screening via two modalities: DL and HG. For each modality, we simulated treatment referral by excluding patients with detected STDR from the second screening using that modality. RESULTS: There were 5,738 patients (12.3% STDR) in the first screening. DL and HG captured different numbers of STDR cases, and after simulated referral and excluding ungradable cases, 4,148 and 4,263 patients remained in the second screening, respectively. The STDR prevalence at the second screening was 5.1% and 6.8% for DL- and HG-based screening, respectively. Along with the prevalence decrease, the sensitivity for both modalities decreased from the first to the second screening (DL: from 95% to 90%, p = 0.008; HG: from 74% to 57%, p < 0.001). At both the first and second screenings, the rate of false negatives for the DL was a fifth that of HG (0.5-0.6% vs. 2.9-3.2%). CONCLUSION: On 2-year longitudinal follow-up of a DR screening cohort, STDR prevalence decreased for both DL- and HG-based screening. Follow-up screenings in longitudinal DR screening can be more difficult and induce lower sensitivity for both DL and HG, though the false negative rate was substantially lower for DL. Our data may be useful for health-economics analyses of longitudinal screening settings.

Ocular tuberculosis (OTB) in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) commonly presents as choroidal tubercles or granuloma. We report a rare presentation of OTB with hypopyon granulomatous uveitis in a patient with HIV on highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Aqueous humor polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was positive for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). Antitubercular therapy (ATT) was initiated despite which it progressed to scleral abscess and panophthalmitis. Enucleation with ball implantation was done. Histopathology revealed caseating granuloma with numerous acid-fast bacilli (AFB) and real-time PCR showed increased copies of MTB genome. After a full course of ATT, he had stable ocular and systemic condition at final follow-up.

Pediatric intermediate uveitis (IU), usually idiopathic, can also be associated with tuberculosis (TB) and sarcoidosis. A 14-year-old girl was diagnosed with idiopathic IU after ruling out TB and sarcoid. She was treated with oral steroids and methotrexate (MTX) with good inflammation control. One year later, she presented with subretinal (SR) abscess. Lab tests were still negative but aqueous polymerase chain reaction confirmed TB. With antituberculosis treatment, complete resolution of the lesion was noted. The likelihood of a change in phenotype of ocular TB, from an IU to TB SR abscess or a possible reactivation of latent TB due to MTX are discussed.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate various techniques of surgical treatment of retinal detachment associated with familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) and the factors affecting the anatomical and visual outcome. DESIGN: Retrospective case series. PARTICIPANTS: Patients diagnosed with FEVR associated retinal detachment and operated for the same between January 2004 and September 2017. METHODS: A retrospective chart review was conducted of all patients diagnosed with FEVR between January 2004 and September 2017. Patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) and tractional retinal detachment (TRD) were included for analysis. Statistical analysis was performed using the t test for mean visual acuities, Fisher's exact test for categorical data, and the one-way analysis of variance for visual outcomes among surgical management options. RESULTS: A total of 44 eyes of 38 patients diagnosed with FEVR-associated retinal detachment and operated for the same were evaluated. At the time of initial presentation, the mean age of the 38 patients was 14.6 ± 10.9 years and 57.8% were males. Out of 44 eyes that underwent surgical intervention, 79.5% cases were of RRD (nâ¯=â¯35), and TRD was seen in 20.5% cases (nâ¯=â¯9). Primary management in the form of scleral buckle was done in 14 (31.8%) eyes, with 11 eyes (78.6%) having an attached retina after a single surgery and 85.7% after multiple surgeries. Primary pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) was done in 30 (68.2%) eyes, of which 73.3% had attached retina after single surgery and 83.8% after multiple surgeries. Poor pre-operative best-corrected visual acuity, presence of TRD, and presence of falciform folds were associated with poor anatomical outcome. CONCLUSIONS: Favourable outcomes can be achieved, though multiple surgical interventions may, however, be necessary for the ultimate success in some cases.

RESUMEN
Deep learning algorithms have been used to detect diabetic retinopathy (DR) with specialist-level accuracy. This study aims to validate one such algorithm on a large-scale clinical population, and compare the algorithm performance with that of human graders. A total of 25,326 gradable retinal images of patients with diabetes from the community-based, nationwide screening program of DR in Thailand were analyzed for DR severity and referable diabetic macular edema (DME). Grades adjudicated by a panel of international retinal specialists served as the reference standard. Relative to human graders, for detecting referable DR (moderate NPDR or worse), the deep learning algorithm had significantly higher sensitivity (0.97 vs. 0.74, p < 0.001), and a slightly lower specificity (0.96 vs. 0.98, p < 0.001). Higher sensitivity of the algorithm was also observed for each of the categories of severe or worse NPDR, PDR, and DME (p < 0.001 for all comparisons). The quadratic-weighted kappa for determination of DR severity levels by the algorithm and human graders was 0.85 and 0.78 respectively (p < 0.001 for the difference). Across different severity levels of DR for determining referable disease, deep learning significantly reduced the false negative rate (by 23%) at the cost of slightly higher false positive rates (2%). Deep learning algorithms may serve as a valuable tool for DR screening.
RESUMEN
PURPOSE: Enhanced S-cone syndrome (ESCS), a rare disorder, is often misdiagnosed as other forms of retinal degenerations, which have a poorer prognosis than ESCS. The aim of this study is to report the varied clinical features of ESCS and distinguish it from other similar disorders. METHODS: We retrospectively scrutinized the records of patients with confirmed diagnosis of ESCS and analyzed the findings. RESULTS: We included 14 patients (age range 4-39 years) who were confirmed to have ESCS according to pathognomonic electroretinography (ERG) showing reduced photopic, combined responses, and 30 Hz flicker with reduced L, M cone responses and supernormal S cone responses. The disease presented in the 1st decade with night blindness and was almost stationary or minimally progressive. Mid-peripheral fundus changes in form of nummular pigmentary alterations, yellow punctate lesions, and macular schisis were noted. The vision ranged from 6/6 to 6/36 with follow-up ranging from 1month to 22 years. CONCLUSION: ESCS shows varied clinical features ranging from unremarkable fundus to pigment clumping and atrophic lesions. It has good prognosis with patients mostly maintaining their vision. ERG is diagnostic. More awareness and knowledge about this entity can help to differentiate it from other forms of night blindness.

PURPOSE: To evaluate clinical profile of patients with uveitis who developed central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC). METHODS: Retrospective case series of consecutive patients of uveitis with CSC managed at a tertiary eye care center in India between 1994 and 2014. The data about clinical features, investigations, treatment, and outcomes were obtained from their medical records. RESULTS: A total of 31 eyes of 26 patients with uveitis with a diagnosis of CSC between June 1994 and May 2014 were included in the study. The mean age of presentation was 42.8 ± 9.2 years, and 88.4% of the patients were male. CSC was bilateral in 19.2% of the patients, and in 38.4% patients uveitis was because of infectious etiology. CSC developed in 23 (88.5%) patients when they were on oral corticosteroid. The most common cause of uveitis in our study was choroiditis (48.4%), followed by retinal vasculitis (12.9%). The mean time for resolution of CSC was relatively less in patients with uveitis because of infectious etiology. In 10% eyes vision remained the same and deterioration of vision was noted in 19% eyes. Best corrected visual acuity of the patients at the time of presentation with CSC was 0.56 ± 0.34 and after the resolution of CSC was 0.48 ± 0.5 (P < 0.0005). CONCLUSION: Patients with choroidal inflammations are more prone to develop CSC compared with other subtypes of uveitis. Management of CSC in uveitis can be challenging.
