2023/09/29

The most common type of Uveitis (inflammation in the eye) is anterior uveitis, or iritis, and almost 50% of patients with this condition test positive for the genetic marker HLA-B27. Having a positive result could potentially help establish the diagnosis, guide treatment, and provide information about prognosis. It can help avoid unnecessary diagnostic workup too. But it's a grey area as both false negatives and false positives can happen. Asking questions is key and results should be

Don't let this be a cat-astrophe Ocular toxoplasmosis is an infection caused by the parasite Toxoplasma gondii, and it primarily affects the eyes. One of the key questions surrounding its transmission is how someone can contract this condition. Toxoplasma gondii is commonly found in the environment, and one of the main sources of transmission is through exposure to infected cat feces. Cats are the definitive hosts of the parasite, which means that they can shed the infective form of the

Are we at risk of becoming robots? Or being controlled by robotic thinking? The practice of medicine requires nuanced, individualized thinking to properly diagnose and treat patients. While technology like artificial intelligence holds great promise for improving healthcare, we must be wary of allowing "straight-line" or automated thinking to override a physician's professional judgement. As philosopher Robert H. Thouless explained in his 1930 book Straight and Crooked Thinking,

Video Short: What does Uveitis actually mean?

Dr Nima"s Eye Pod ·

2023/06/20

The Answer Involves grapes! And just like the grape's outer skin protects the juicy flesh inside, the iris acts as a protective barrier for the delicate structures within the eye. The ciliary body, resembling the fibers and pulp of a grape, plays a crucial role in producing aqueous humor, the fluid that nourishes the eye. Finally, the choroid, comparable to the grape's vascular network, provides oxygen and nutrients to the retina, aiding in optimal vision. However, uveitis disrupts this

Nope, before these luminaries, and even before ancient texts in Indian Ayurveda and Chinese medicine, we have to go back a few millenia to Imhotep the physician and architect. This isn’t the same Imhotep as in the film the Mummy though. But in the first ophthalmic document around 2640 BC he appears to describe the redness of inflammation in the eye.
