BACKGROUND: Hepatitis, a disease characterised by inflammation of the liver, is a leading global health challenge that contributes to over 1.3 million deaths annually, with hepatitis B and C accounting for many of these fatalities. Intensive care unit (ICU) management of patients is particularly challenging due to the complex clinical care and resource demands. Despite advancements in ICU predicti...
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Infectious keratitis (IK) is a major cause of blindness worldwide, requiring prompt diagnosis and management. This study evaluates the diagnostic and evaluative roles of in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) and anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) in acute IK through correlating the characteristic imaging features of both modalities. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this ...
