Case Report: Stickler Syndrome Presents With Rare Ophthalmologic Manifestations
When systemic signs are not evident, ophthalmologists play a major role in diagnosis.
Oral Glucose Tolerance Test Recommended With Low-Dose Glucocorticoids
The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence and risk factors of new-onset glucose metabolism impairment in patients with normal fasting glycemia on long-term glucocorticoid treatment to determine which patients should undergo an oral glucose tolerance test.
