Staphylococcus-associated marginal keratitis is an immune-mediated corneal disorder mainly secondary to chronic blepharoconjunctivitis. We report a rare case of Staphylococcus-associated marginal keratitis following pterygium excision. To the best of our knowledge, none of the previous literature has described such an acute complication after pterygium surgery.

We report a case of a 50-year-old woman who suffered from pterygium in the left eye and underwent pterygium surgery. After surgery, slit-lamp examination showed an incomplete ring-shaped creamy white infiltrate. Corneal pathogenic microbial detection was negative. Staphylococcus aureus was found on the upper eyelid margin of the affected eye. Therefore, she was clinically diagnosed with Staphylococcus-associated marginal keratitis. The infiltrate was gradually absorbed after steroids, topical antibiotics, and lubricant eye drops were administered. After 2 years of follow-up, neither corneal infiltrate nor pterygium recurrence was observed.

Staphyfections are excluded. Although chronic staphylococcal blepharoconjunctivitis is a common disease, ophthalmologists should pay more attention to it to avoid potential complications.
Mental disorders are related to high individual suffering and significant socio-economic burdens. However, it remains unclear to what extent self-reported mental distress is related to individuals' days of incapacity to work and their medical costs. This study aims to investigate the impact of self-reported mental distress for specific and non-specific days of incapacity to work and specific and non-specific medical costs over a two-year span.

Within a longitudinal research design, 2287 study participants' mental distress was assessed using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). HADS scores were included as predictors in generalized linear models with a Tweedie distribution with log link function to predict participants' days of incapacity to work and medical costs retrieved from their health insurance routine data during the following two-year period.

Current mental distress was found to be significantly related to the number of specific days absent from work and medical costs. Compared to p for individuals with mental disorders might, therefore, pay for itself and could help to reduce public costs.
Our results show that self-reported mental distress, assessed by the HADS, is highly related to the days of incapacity to work and medical costs in the two-year period. Reducing mental distress by improving preventive structures for at-risk populations and increasing access to evidence-based treatments for individuals with mental disorders might, therefore, pay for itself and could help to reduce public costs.
Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a highly proliferative, rapidly growing tumor with a poor prognosis, even in cases of limited disease (LD). Timely and accurate high-intensity therapy is necessary. For concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT), etoposide/platinum (EP)-based regimens are recommended, although irinotecan/platinum (IP)-based regimens are also effective with radiotherapy. This large-scale, retrospective, nationwide cohort study aimed to analyze the efficacy of CCRT in patients with LD-SCLC.

Population data registered between January 2008 and December 2018 was extracted from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service of Korea database. Survival outcomes of 4446 LD-SCLC patients who received CCRT were analyzed.

Patients who received EP-CCRT (n = 4187) showed better time to first subsequent therapy (TFST 11.2 months) and overall survival (OS 22.2 months) than those who received IP-CCRT (n = 259; TFST 9.6 months, P = 0.0477; OS 16.4 months, P < 0.0001). When CCRT failed, dual-agent chemotherapy (n = 925; OS 9.1 months) provided a better survival benefit than single-agent chemotherapy (n = 815; OS 7.5 months). IP-based chemotherapy resulted in better OS (9.6 months) than EP-based chemotherapy (7.1 months, P = 0.017) in platinum-resistant relapsed patients; the opposite was observed for platinum-sensitive relapsed patients (OS EP, 17.2 months; IP, 6.6 months; P < 0.0001). Poisson regression analysis demonstrated that age, EP-CCRT, and hypercholesterolemia retained significant associations with OS after adjustment for all variables.

In the Korean population, the effects of EP-CCRT on OS and TFST are significantly more favorable than those of IP-CCRT.

Since the onset of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the stroke care systems have been seriously affected because of social restrictions and other reasons. As the pandemic continues to spread globally, it is of great significance to understand how COVID-19 affects the stroke care systems in mainland China.

We retrospectively studied the real-world data of one comprehensive stroke center in mainland China from January to February 2020 and compared it with the data collected during the same period in 2019. We analyzed DTN time, onset-to-door time, severity, effects after treatment, the hospital length of stays, costs of hospitalization, etc., and the correlation between medical burden and prognosis of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients.

The COVID-19 pandemic was most severe in mainland China in January and February 2020. During the pandemic, there were no differences in pre-hospital or in-hospital workflow metrics (all p>0.05), while the degree of neurological deficit on admission and at discharge, the effects after treatment, and the long-term prognosis were all worse (all p<0.05). Devimistat The severity and prognosis of AIS patients were positively correlated with the hospital length of stays and total costs of hospitalization (all p<0.05).

COVID-19 pandemic is threatening the stroke care systems. Measures must be taken to minimize the collateral damage caused by COVID-19.
