#Optical imaging techniques could offer non-invasive method to measure swelling within the #brain, new study finds. #Intracranialpressure (ICP) is a potentially fatal condition that can damages #braintissue. Find out more - birmingham.ac.uk/news/latest/20… JAMA @IIHDrBirmingham

Neuro-ophthalmologists in the UK including NANOS members Dr Susan Mollan & Alexandra Sinclair combined data from three clinical trials to show that OCT based optic nerve measurements correlate with intracranial pressure. jamanetwork.com/journals/jamao… Lindsey De Lott @drklai Heather Moss, MD, PhD

OCT imaging supports clinical decision making in recurrence of raised intracranial pressure despite having optic atrophy tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

My poster at #RCOphthCongress2021 epostersonline.com/rco2021/node/1…… Presenting a systematic review on ophthalmic manifestations in SLE. Completed w/ the Academic Rheumatology and Ophthalmology departments at SWB NHS Trust Please take a look, read, rate. Audio recording included.#Lupus

The message is the same - support and only intervene when necessary! A great little thread for anyone who sees any child with bronchiolitis 👍🏽

From my Rheum F1 job SWB NHS Trust : Epidemiology of disease-activity related ophthalmological manifestations in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: A systematic review - Nitish Jawahar, Jessica K Walker, Philip I Murray, Caroline Gordon, John A Reynolds, 2021 journals.sagepub.com/eprint/RIVGMIB…

COVID really messed up my foundation plans, cancelling my academic block during FY2. But thankfully, the Rheumatology team at SWB NHS Trust took me under their wing during my FY1 and we worked on a project together which has now been published! See below👀 #Lupus #SLE #eye #covidF1

Well done James! James L. Mitchell

A fun day with the simulation team UHCW Simulation and the ED team😁

First international conference✅ Had a great time presenting my work completed with the #retinoblastoma team at BWC NHS Trust looking at the occurrences of tumours in familial Rb. Lots of talks, fun and new friends at #ISOO2022 in Leiden, Netherlands #ocularoncology

Andreas Yiangou giving an interesting talk explaining how OCT has the ability to non invasively prognosticate ICP levels in IIH ➡️doi:10.1001/jamaophthalmol.2020.4242 #csfday2022 #IIH Dr Susan Mollan @IIHDrBirmingham IIH UK James L. Mitchell Zerin Alimajstorovic @vivek_vijay1 Jessica Walker

After a very long gestation, I am so please to see our UPBEAT paper finally published in the International Journal of Obesity. It has been an absolute pleasure working with the Department of Women's and Children's Health at King's College London nature.com/articles/s4136…

Mitchell et al. report that the GLP-1 receptor agonist exenatide significantly reduced intracranial pressure in patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension, both acutely and after 12 weeks of dosing, in a randomised placebo-controlled trial. bit.ly/3z1PM98
