    Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the effects of retinal and choroidal thickness on near-infrared reflectance (NIR) scanning laser ophthalmoscopy in eyes with geographic atrophy (GA) secondary to non-neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
    Methods: This was a cross-sectional review of the clinical records and multimodal imaging data of eyes diagnosed with GA secondary to non-neovascular AMD. Imaging modalities included color fundus photography, fundus autofluorescence, NIR, and structural spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). On SD-OCT images, the foveal retina thickness and the subfoveal choroidal thickness were measured by two independent readers. Near-infrared reflectance intensity within areas of GA was subjectively graded as hyperreflective, isoreflective, or hyporeflective and objectively estimated by using ImageJ to calculate the mean gray scale value within each GA area. A linear regression analysis was performed to model the relationship between mean NIR gray scale value and retinal and choroidal thickness.
    Results: One hundred four eyes of 104 patients with a mean age of 81.3 years (SD: ±8.3) were included. The area of GA was hyperreflective on NIR in 88 eyes (85%), isoreflective in 13 eyes (12%), and hyporeflective in 3 eyes (3%). The mean foveal retinal thickness was 101.5 μm (SD: ±54) showing no significant relationship with mean NIR (P = 0.464); and the mean subfoveal choroidal thickness was 172.6 μm (SD: ±114.7) showing a statistically significant relationship with mean NIR intensity in the linear regression analysis (r = 0.590; r2 = 0.348; P < 0.00001).
    Conclusions: Variations in choroidal thickness appear to influence NIR intensity in areas of GA and have the potential to affect image interpretation. The recognition of this relationship may provide useful information regarding choroidal thickness.

    Abstract Background: Incidences of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) on the lower extremities in elderly patients are rising. Surgical approaches to the treatment of BCC are subject to possible difficulties in healing, failure of skin grafts, and wound infection. This study assessed the efficacy of intralesional cryosurgery in the treatment of BCC of the lower limbs in elderly patients.
    Methods: This study included eight patients aged >60 years in whom a total of 10 nodular or superficial BCCs of the lower limbs were confirmed by biopsy. The patients' medical histories revealed comorbidities including hypertension, diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, venous insufficiency, and deep vein thrombosis of the legs, congestive heart failure, chronic renal failure, and ischemic heart disease. Using liquid nitrogen, an intralesional cryosurgery needle (CryoShape) was inserted into the tumor to facilitate its complete freezing. Treatment success was confirmed by biopsy taken approximately 3 months after complete healing of the cryo-wound.
    Results: The average size of the lesions treated was 2.49 cm(2) (16.4 × 15.2 mm). Mean recovery time was 79.9 days. Biopsies were obtained at a mean of 85.3 days after the wound had healed. All 10 biopsies verified the complete destruction of the tumor. There was no evidence of wound infection or tumor recurrence over a follow-up period of 28 months.
    Conclusions: This study demonstrates that a single intralesional cryosurgery session can completely eradicate BCC on the lower extremities in elderly patients. This technique is associated with relatively minor complications, is well tolerated, and represents a safe and effective therapeutic modality for BCC of the lower limbs.

    Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the performance of the Pediatric Canadian Triage and Acuity Scale (PaedCTAS) in adolescent patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection.
    Methods: A time-series study was conducted in the Emergency Departments (EDs) of 17 public hospitals during the Delta (B.1.617.2) variant spread in Israel. Data were collected prospectively from June 11, 2021 to August 15, 2021. Multivariate regression analyses were performed to identify independent variables associated with hospital admission and with admission to an Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
    Results: During the study period, 305 SARS-CoV-2 patients ages 12-18 years presenting to the ED were included, and 267 (87.5%) were unvaccinated. Sixty-seven (22.0%) and 12 (3.9%) patients were admitted to pediatric wards and ICUs, respectively. PaedCTAS level 1-2 and the presence of chronic disease increased the odds of hospital admission (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 5.74, 95% CI, 2.30-14.35, p < 0.0001), and (aOR 2.9, 95% CI, 1.48-5.67, p < 0.02), respectively. PaedCTAS level 1-2 and respiratory symptoms on presentation to ED increased the odds of ICU admission (aOR 27.79; 95% CI, 3.85-176.91, p < 0.001), and (aOR 26.10; 95% CI, 4.47-172.63, p < 0.0001), respectively. PaedCTAS level 3-5 was found in 217/226 (96%) of the patients who were discharged home from the ED.
    Conclusions: The findings suggest that PaedCTAS level 1-2 was the strongest factor associated with hospital and ICU admission. Almost all the patients who were discharged home had PaedCTAS level 3-5. Study findings suggest good performance of the PaedCTAS in this cohort.

    Abstract This multicenter, cross-sectional study provides evidence on severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-associated emergency department visits and hospitalizations in pediatric wards and intensive care units after school reopening during the SARS-CoV-2 Alpha (B.1.1.7) variant spread in Israel. Study findings suggest that school reopening was not followed by an increase in SARS-CoV-2-related pediatric morbidity.

    Abstract Pressure necrosis which might be followed by skin necrosis and implant extrusion is a dreaded complication of breast reconstructive surgery. Over the years, several techniques have been introduced to address this challenging problem. We offer a novel surgical technique to confront this perplexing complication. By using the capsule of the implant as a turnover flap, the soft tissue coverage is enhanced thereby decreasing the pressure between the breast prosthesis and the over-laying skin. The technique is simply reproduced, requires no new incisions, and avoids further morbidity to the involved breast reconstructed patient.

    Abstract Adult polyglucosan body disease (APBD) is a rare glycogenosis manifesting progressive spastic paraparesis, sensorimotor polyneuropathy and neurogenic bladder. Misdiagnosis of APBD may lead to unnecessary investigations and to potentially harmful therapeutic interventions. To examine the frequency of misdiagnosis of APBD, we retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of 30 patients diagnosed between 1991 and 2013. Diagnosis was based on the combination of typical clinical and imaging findings, reduced glycogen branching enzyme activity, and the presence of p.Y326S GBE1 mutation. Initial symptoms started in the 5th-6th decade with bladder dysfunction (47 %), gait problems (33 %) or both. Diagnosis of APBD was delayed by 6.8 (±4.8) years. Consistent signs at diagnosis were spasticity in the legs (93 %), decreased or absent ankle reflexes (100 %), bilateral extensor plantar response (100 %) and distal sensory deficit (80 %). Nerve conduction study showed invariable sensorimotor polyneuropathy, and MRI demonstrated cervical spinal cord atrophy (100 %) and leukoencephalopathy (97 %). All 30 patients were initially misdiagnosed. Common misdiagnoses included cerebral small vessel disease (27 %), multiple sclerosis (17 %), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (17 %) and peripheral neuropathies (20 %). Consequently, 27 % received inappropriate therapy. In addition, lower urinary tract symptoms in 60 % of men were attributed solely to prostatic disorders but did not respond to medical treatment or prostatectomy. These findings suggest that despite limited clinical variability, APBD is invariably misdiagnosed and patients are often mistreated. Physicians' unfamiliarity with the typical clinical and imaging features of APBD appears as the main reason for misdiagnosis.
