Filter by:It is widely acknowledged that the transition from paediatric to adult health services should be a multidimensional and multidisciplinary process that addresses the medical, psychosocial, and educational needs of adolescents and young adults (AYA). Despite this, there is currently a scarcity of research examining the relationships between psychosocial factors (e.g., anxiety, social support) and transition readiness in AYA with uveitis. This study therefore aims to examine the relationships between psychosocial factors and transition readiness in pre-transfer adolescents and post-transfer young adults aged 10-25 years diagnosed with JIA at a single centre. In total, 25 adolescents aged 10-16 years, together with a parent/guardian, will participate at Sheffield Children's Hospital and 10 young adults aged 16-25 years will participate at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals. Participants completed a battery of self-report questionnaire measuring psychosocial factors (anxiety/depression, social support, family functioning, health-related quality of life) and transition readiness (transition knowledge and skills, self-efficacy). Uveitis disease severity was also measured during clinic appointments. A subset of participants will also be asked to take part in a focus group. This study received full ethical approval, and all participants will give their written informed assent or consent before taking part.
The purpose of this study is to develop and demonstrate new technologies that will enable a non-contact, compact eye imaging system based on OCT to assist an early responder in acute care settings (like an emergency room) to help assess eye trauma and inflammation (swelling inside the eye).
Data on demographics, etiology, clinical features, diagnosis, secondary complications, treatment and outcomes of intraocular inflammation in children aged 16 years and below that presented to uveitis clinic in Singapore National Eye Centre (SNEC) from January 1989 to January 2017, will be retrieved and analyzed from the uveitis database retrospectively. The results will be compared with other published studies on different study populations.
Primary objective: safety and tolerability Secondary objectives: additional indicators of long term safety and indicators of clinical activity Exploratory objectives: to characterize EYS606 biodistribution, immunogenicity and biomarkers
Brief summary: This study compares the long-term efficacy and safety of interferon (IFN) α2a and cyclosporine (cyclosporin A, CsA) following suppression of acute attack by high-dose oral glucocorticosteroid in patients with refractory Behçet's uveitis (BDU). Half of the participants will receive IFNα2a while the other half will receive CsA.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the correlation of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness measured using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and scanning laser polarimetry (SLP) in uveitic eyes compared to healthy eyes. A descriptive, observational, prospective, consecutive, cross-sectional, controlled, mono-center case series was conducted from May to October 2015. Clinical characteristics, best-corrected visual acuity, intra-ocular pressure, RNFL thickness measurement with SD-OCT and SLP using GDx variable corneal compensation (GDx VCC) were performed for each patient. An evaluation of anterior chamber inflammation with laser flare cell meter was also carried out. Correlations between SD-OCT and GDx VCC RNFL measurement were evaluated by linear regression analysis.
Chronic inflammatory diseases (CID) - including inflammatory bowel diseases (Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis), rheumatic conditions (rheumatoid arthritis, axial spondyloarthritis, psoriatic arthritis), inflammatory skin diseases (psoriasis, hidradenitis suppurativa) and non-infectious uveitis are treated with biologics targeting the pro-inflammatory molecule tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF), i.e. TNF inhibitors. Up to one third of the patients do, however, not respond to biologics and lifestyle is assumed to affect the treatment outcome. However, little is known on the effects of lifestyle as a prognostic factor (possibly enabling personalised medicine). The aims of this multidisciplinary collaboration are to identify lifestyle factors that support individualised forecasting of optimised treatment outcome on these costly drugs. This prospective cohort study will enrol CID patients assigned for biologic treatment. At baseline (Pre-treatment), patient characteristics are assessed using patient-reported outcome measures and clinical assessments on disease activity, quality of life, and lifestyle together with registry data on comorbidity and medication. Follow-up will be conducted at week 14-16 after treatment initiation (according to the current Danish standards). Evaluation of a successful treatment outcome response will - for each disease - be based on most frequently used primary endpoints; the major outcome of the analyses will be to detect differences in treatment outcome between patients with specific lifestyle characteristics. The overarching goal of this project is to improve the lives of patients suffering from CID, by providing evidence to support dietary recommendations likely to improve the clinical outcome. The study is approved by the local Ethics Committee (S-20160124) and the local Data Agency (2008-58-035). The study findings will be disseminated in peer-reviewed journals, via patient associations, and presented at national and international conferences.
This study aims at evaluating real life effectiveness of originator adalimumab (Humira®) participants with active non-infectious intermediate, posterior and panuveitis (NIIPPU) despite high-dose corticosteroid therapy; including effect on ocular inflammation, health-related quality of life, health resource utilization, work ability and medication burden, as well as describe the characteristics of NIIPPU participants treated with Humira® in the real-life setting.
