Purpose: To report a case of paraneoplastic autoimmune retinopathy in a patient with a history of testicular cancer.Case summary: A 29-year-old man presented with photopsia and floaters. Initial fundus examination revealed no abnormal findings. However, he returned 1 month later with complaints of visual field defects. Fundus examination revealed diffuse white spots in the macula and midperipheral retina and fundus autofluorescence demonstrated hyper-autofluorescence. Optical coherence tomography showed disruption of the ellipsoid zone sparing the fovea. Visual field examination revealed peripheral visual field defects and an electroretinogram showed reduced rod and cone cell responses. Considering his history of testicular cancer, serum paraneoplastic autoantibody panel testing was performed which revealed borderline levels of anti-recoverin antibody leading to a diagnosis of paraneoplastic autoimmune retinopathy. The patient was treated with oral steroids and mycophenolate mofetil for 1 year. However, there was no improvement in the subjective symptoms or ophthalmologic findings. Conclusions This case of paraneoplastic autoimmune retinopathy in a young man with a history of testicular cancer highlights an early clinical presentation of the disease. It is crucial to recognize that the initial clinical presentation of autoimmune retinopathy can be nonspecific.

Background: With the ultimate goal of developing chatbot content to address consumer inquiries about pressure injuries (PIs), this study analyzed consumer perceptions of PI using big data. Methods: This study collected text data, with PI as the central word, from three search engines (Naver, Daum, Google) from January 2019 through December 2022, using Textom version 4.5. The words were refined through text mining, keyword analysis, and TF-IDF (term frequency-inverse document frequency) analysis. N-gram analysis and centrality visualization were conducted using Ucinet 6.0. The keywords and frequencies were clustered based on the frequency of words used in CONCOR (convergence of iteration correlation) analysis. Results: Consumers for PI showed a high perception of common sites for PI, concept of PI, healthcare facility for PI, PI products, PI care, PI-related life, and PI-related disease. Conclusion Development of chatbot content customized to consumers’ needs, based on seven clusters associated with consumers’ perception of PI obtained through extensive data analysis with PI as the central word, is expected to make a significant contribution to improving consumers’ understanding of PI and enhancing the quality of PI management.
