    Abstract Purpose: To describe the presentation of a healthy 8-year-old female referred to a pediatric ophthalmology clinic with blurred vision and concern for bilateral uveitis.
    Observations: The patient was diagnosed with COVID-19 two weeks prior to the onset of ocular symptoms. An examination revealed bilateral pan-uveitis and patient underwent an extensive work-up for an underlying cause that was unremarkable. Two years following the initial presentation, she has not had any evidence of recurrence.
    Conclusions and importance: This case highlights the potential for COVID-19 to be temporally associated with ocular inflammation and underscores the importance of recognizing and investigating such manifestations in pediatric patients. The mechanism by which COVID-19 may lead to an immune response that affects the eyes is not fully understood, but it is believed to be related to an overactive immune response triggered by the virus. Further studies are needed to better understand the potential relationship between COVID-19 and ocular manifestations in pediatric patients.

    Abstract Harnwegsinfektionen gehören zu den häufigsten bakteriellen Infektionen beim Menschen, wobei die unkomplizierte Zystitis die häufigste Form ist. Studien haben gezeigt, dass die Durchspülungstherapie mit Wasser und pflanzlichen Durchspülungsmitteln wie Birkenblätter, Brennnesselkraut, Hauhechelwurzel, Katzenbart, Schachtelhalmkraut, Bärentraubenblätter, Goldrutenkraut, Spargelwurzelstock, Cranberries und Wacholderbeeren effektiv zur Reduktion von rezidivierenden Harnwegsinfektionen beitragen kann. Die steigende Antibiotika-Resistenz hat dazu geführt, dass Phytopharmaka als mögliche Alternative betrachtet werden. Pflanzen enthalten sekundäre Inhaltsstoffe mit antibakterieller Wirkung, die auf verschiedenen Ebenen auf mikrobielle Erreger einwirken können. Phytopharmaka können als Antiinfektiva mit einer breiten Wirkung und als Adjuvantien zur Verbesserung der antibiotischen Therapie eingesetzt werden. Bei interstitieller Zystitis (IC), einer nichtinfektiösen chronischen Erkrankung der Harnblase, sind die Ursachen vielfältig und die Behandlung ist häufig komplex. Eine mögliche Verbindung zur Histaminintoleranz wird diskutiert, da viele histaminhaltige Nahrungsmittel Symptome der IC auslösen können. Die Phytotherapie, insbesondere mit Kräutern wie Rosmarin, Tausendgüldenkraut, Liebstöckel, Hauhechelwurzel, Orthosiphonblätter und Goldrutenkraut, die histaminreduzierende oder -stabilisierende Eigenschaften haben, könnte eine vielversprechende Option sein. Es gibt jedoch noch keine formellen Studien zur Phytotherapie bei IC. Zusammenfassend lässt sich sagen, dass die Phytotherapie bei Harnwegsinfektionen, einschließlich IC, vielversprechende Ansätze bietet. Weitere klinische Studien sind jedoch erforderlich, um die Wirksamkeit und Akzeptanz in der medizinischen Praxis zu bestätigen und möglicherweise in zukünftige Leitlinien aufzunehmen.

    Abstract Background: The established Erlangen Score (ES) for the interpretation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers in the diagnostics of Alzheimer's disease (AD) uses markers of amyloidopathy and tauopathy, equally weighted to form an easy-interpretable ordinal scale. However, these biomarkers are not equally predictive for AD.
    Objective: The higher weighting of the Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio, as a reconceptualized ERlangen Score (ERS), was tested for advantages in diagnostic performance.
    Methods: Non-demented subjects (N = 154) with a mean follow up of 5 years were assigned to a group ranging from 0 to 4 in ES or ERS. Psychometric trajectories and dementia risk were assessed.
    Results: The distribution of subjects between ES and ERS among the groups differed considerably, as grouping allocated 32 subjects to ES group 2, but only 2 to ERS group 2. The discriminative accuracy between the ES (AUC 73.2%, 95% CI [64.2, 82.2]) and ERS (AUC 72.0%, 95% CI [63.1, 81.0]) for dementia risk showed no significant difference. Without consideration of the Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio in ES grouping, the optimal cut-off of the ES shifted to ≥2.
    Conclusions: The ERS showed advantages over the ES in test interpretation with comparable overall test performance, as fewer cases were allocated to the intermediate risk group. The established cut-off of ≥2 can be maintained for the ERS, whereas it must be adjusted for the ES when determining the Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio.

    Abstract There is ample evidence showing that childhood maltreatment increases two to three fold the risk of victimization in adulthood. Various risk factors, including posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, dissociation, self-blame, and alcohol abuse are related to revictimization. Although previous research examined associations between risk factors for revictimization, the evidence is limited and the proposed models mostly include a handful of risk factors. Therefore, it is critical to investigate a more comprehensive model explaining the link between childhood maltreatment and adulthood (re)victimization. Accordingly, this study tested a data-driven theoretical path model consisting of 33 variables (and their associations) that could potentially enhance understanding of factors explaining revictimization. Cross-sectional data derived from a multi-wave study were used for this investigation. Participants (N = 2156, age

    Abstract Background: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) affects approximately 10% of patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) and is a leading cause of death. We sought to identify serum cytokine signatures that risk stratify SSc patients for this potentially fatal complication.
    Methods: Subjects at high risk for PAH and with incident PAH based on right heart catheterization (RHC) were enrolled in the multi-center prospective registry, Pulmonary Hypertension Assessment and Recognition of Outcomes in Scleroderma (PHAROS). Low-risk SSc patients were enrolled at Stanford and had normal pulmonary function test and echocardiogram parameters. Serum was available from 71 high-risk patients, 81 incident PAH patients, 10 low-risk patients, and 20 healthy controls (HC). Custom 14- and 65-plex arrays were used for cytokine analysis. Cytokine expression was compared between patient groups by principal component analysis and Tukey's test result. A multiple hypotheses corrected p value <0.05 was considered significant.
    Results: Exploratory analysis using principal components showed unique clustering for each patient group. There was a significant difference in cytokine expression in at least one group comparison for every cytokine. Overall, there was very little difference in cytokine expression comparing high-risk and PAH patient groups; however, these groups had substantially different cytokine profiles compared to low-risk patients and HC.
    Conclusion: These data suggest that cytokine profiles can distinguish SSc patients who are at high-risk for or have PAH from SSc patients who may be at lower risk for PAH and HC. However, high-risk and PAH patients had very similar cytokine profiles, suggesting that these patients are on a disease continuum.
