set of CSCR following periocular corticosteroid injection with confirmation by OCT imaging. Periocular corticosteroids may be administered for the treatment of uveitis as well as postoperative CME. The presence of intraocular inflammation secondary to uveitis may affect the retinal pigment epithelial barrier and increase susceptibility to local periocular corticosteroid effects.

متن کاملInflammation-responsive transcription factor SAF-1 activity is linked to the development of amyloid A amyloidosis.
Abundantly expressed serum amyloid A (SAA) protein under chronic inflammatory conditions gives rise to insoluble aggregates of SAA derivatives in multiple organs resulting in reactive amyloid A (AA) amyloidosis, a consequence of rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, ankylosing spondylitis, familial Mediterranean fever, and Castleman's disease. An inflammation-responsive transcription factor, S...
