Item type:Publication, Successful treatment of cytomegalovirus retinitis with oral/intravitreal antivirals in HIV-negative patients with lymphoma(2022) ;Anastasia Tasiopoulou; Susan Lightman<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:sec> <jats:title>Objectives</jats:title> <jats:p>To report patients with systemic lymphoma and cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis, treated with a combination of oral and intravitreal antiviral agents on an outpatient basis.</jats:p> </jats:sec><jats:sec> <jats:title>Methods</jats:title> <jats:p>Retrospective cases series. Information was gathered from the database of the Uveitis clinics at Moorfields Eye Hospital, United Kingdom from December 2014 to December 2018. The inclusion criteria comprised the diagnosis of systemic lymphoma, associated with a diagnosis of CMV retinitis. Exclusion criteria were alternative ocular diagnosis, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), primary intraocular lymphoma, or other causes of immunosuppression.</jats:p> </jats:sec><jats:sec> <jats:title>Results</jats:title> <jats:p>All seven subjects had been under oncologist care for systemic lymphoma. CMV retinitis presented with a median of 61 months after the systemic lymphoma diagnosis. Five patients underwent a vitreous biopsy, and four of them returned PCR positive for CMV and the fifth patient had PCR positive in a blood sample. All patients were treated with oral Valganciclovir, with an induction dose of 900 mg every 12 h for up to 3 weeks until disease resolution and a maintenance dose thereafter. All but one received additional intravitreal Foscarnet injections, with a dose of 2.4 mg /0.1 ml.</jats:p> </jats:sec><jats:sec> <jats:title>Conclusions</jats:title> <jats:p>The management of patients with systemic lymphoma and CMV retinitis with oral and intravitreal antiviral agents, resulted in effective disease control.</jats:p> </jats:sec>1Scopus© Citations 6 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

In that sense, chronic recurrent VKH disease is more refractory to treatment and is associated with a higher rate of complications. Accordingly, this subset of VKH patients has poorer functional and anatomical outcomes than patients with an initial-onset acute disease.</jats:p> </jats:sec><jats:sec> <jats:title>Conclusions</jats:title> <jats:p>An early clear distinction of VKH phenotype [Initial-onset acute versus chronic recurrent disease] should be considered in each clinical scenario, evaluating the delay in diagnosis and the clinical presentation, since it may help clinicians to perform a correct disease prognosis categorization and thus to make treatment decisions in terms of potential refractoriness or expected clinical outcomes.</jats:p> </jats:sec>Scopus© Citations 25 1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Interpretable multimodal classification for age-related macular degeneration diagnosis(2024) ;Carla Vairetti ;Sebastián Maldonado ;Loreto Cuitino; Xu Yanwu<jats:p>Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) is an emerging machine learning field that has been successful in medical image analysis. Interpretable approaches are able to “unbox” the black-box decisions made by AI systems, aiding medical doctors to justify their diagnostics better. In this paper, we analyze the performance of three different XAI strategies for medical image analysis in ophthalmology. We consider a multimodal deep learning model that combines optical coherence tomography (OCT) and infrared reflectance (IR) imaging for the diagnosis of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The classification model is able to achieve an accuracy of 0.94, performing better than other unimodal alternatives. We analyze the XAI methods in terms of their ability to identify retinal damage and ease of interpretation, concluding that grad-CAM and guided grad-CAM can be combined to have both a coarse visual justification and a fine-grained analysis of the retinal layers. We provide important insights and recommendations for practitioners on how to design automated and explainable screening tests based on the combination of two image sources.</jats:p>Scopus© Citations 1
