Xavier, Catarina; Maleita, Diogo; Boncquet Vieira, Miguel; Anjos, Rita; Pinto Ferreira, Fernando; Pinto Proença, Rita

Introduction: Ocular tuberculosis (OTB) is a rare extrapulmonary form of tuberculosis (TB). Diagnosis is usually presumptive, based on local epidemiologic factors, ocular phenotype, and corroborating immunologic tests: tuberculin skin test (TST), interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA) or both.

Farinha, Claudia; Barreto, Patrícia; Coimbra, Rita; Cachulo, Maria Luz; Melo, Joana Barbosa; Hoyng, Carel B.; Cunha-Vaz , José; Murta, Joaquim

Introduction: To date several genetic variants are known to play an important role in age-related macular degeneration(AMD). Variations in the genetic pool of different populations impact the disease prevalence, incidence and risk of progression. This report aims to determine the genetic contribution in the development of AMD in a Portuguese population from the Coimbra Eye Study (CES,NCT01298674,NCT02748824), a...


A 5-year longitudinal study of macular atrophy

Pinheiro, Rosa Lomelino; Farinha, Cláudia; Cachulo, Maria da Luz; Soares, Mário; Melo, Pedro; Murta, Joaquim; Silva, Rufino

Macular atrophy (MA) is one of the late stages of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and leads to irreversible loss of visual function. During the past years, efforts have been made towards a more detailed comprehension of the characteristics of MA, and a panel of retina specialists has recently established a new classification system to describe atrophy in the context of neovascular AMD, by the CONAN group...

New Optical Approaches to Improve Myopia Control in Children

Martins, Amélia

Myopia is a growing global health concern, with an increasing prevalence - in 2000 1.4 billion people were mypic and it is estimated that this number will reach 4.8 billion by 2050.1 It appears that both genetic predisposition and environmental factors exhibit an association with myopia, particularly the increased exposure to screens and near activities from an early age, the digital projection under brighter c...


Tubulointerstitial Nephritis and Uveitis Syndrome: A Systematic Review

Pereira, Joana; Freitas-da-Costa, Paulo; Figueira, Luís

INTRODUCTION : Tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis syndrome is a rare disease characterized by the occurrence of tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis, in the absence of other explain- able systemic disease. In this review we aim to appraise and to clarify what is acknowledged in order to elucidate the demographics, genetic predisposition, most frequent symptoms and laboratory findings, most adequate tr...
