To study and compare the outcome of micropulse transscelral cyclophotocoagulation in pediatric glaucoma patients to that adult patients.Consecutive who received between July 2015 December 2016 at University California, San Francisco were retrospectively analyzed. All cases had least 12 months follow-up.Nine eyes from 9 27 25 included. The sample size group is small because MP-TCP was not offered after unsatisfactory results initial cases. Preoperatively, mean intraocular pressure (IOP)...

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), a malignancy originating from the epithelial cells of bile ducts, has shown notable rise in its incidence over years. It ranks as second most frequent primary liver cancer after hepatocellular carcinoma. This study investigates how independent prognostic factors, specifically, age and tumor stage, interact to impact mortality ICC patients. Furthermore, it examines clinical features, survival rates, indicators cases diagnosed between 2010 2017. Using...

To investigate whether differences exist in lens position and other parameters among major ethnic groups with cataractous eyes, which may help explain racial angle closure risk.This retrospective, cross-sectional study included 807 adult patients who had cataract surgery between years 2014 2016 at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). Adult white, Asian, Hispanic African-American ethnicity were included. Lens (LP), defined as anterior chamber depth (ACD) + 1/2 thickness (LT),...

Intrauterine injection of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) at embryo transfer (ET) has been shown to improve the outcome assisted reproductive techniques. The aim this study was confirm previous findings.In randomized controlled trial, 483 infertile women who were candidates for in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm (IVF/ICSI) first time randomly assigned receive an intrauterine 500 IU hCG or placebo (tissue culture media) before ET. main measures implantation and clinical...

Rationale: Infection with the severe acute respiratory coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been shown to cause multi-organ involvement including cardiopulmonary serosal layers infection and inflammation. As a result, pericarditis pericardial effusion may occur or without COVID-19 related signs. Due limitations in sensitivity specificity of current diagnostic studies, cases that trigger high clinical intuition, even negative serologic polymerase chain reaction testing results, necessitate...

Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. The main treatment modality for glaucoma reduction and control intraocular pressure (IOP). filtration surgery, including trabeculectomy and/or implantation a drainage device (GDD), warranted if IOP remains medically uncontrolled. However, postoperative scarring critical determinant long-term bleb survival after surgery. Antimetabolites, such as mitomycin C 5-fluorouracil, have been used many years to increase time surgeries...

Outcomes in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) are poor. Loncastuximab-teserine (Lonca) is an antibody drug conjugate (ADC) which was FDA approved for R/R DLBCL who have received at least 2 prior lines of therapy based on the LOTIS-2 trial. However, there limited data regarding its efficacy real-world setting (RWS). This retrospective study included 21 US centers and evaluated outcomes treated Lonca. Our analysis includes 187 notably higher risk...

SUMMARY The aim of this study is to compare the sexual function kidney transplant recipients and end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) patients receiving haemodialysis (HD) in female patients. In sample population study, there were 72 women group 40 HD group. To test differences quantitative variables between these two groups, an independent Student's t‐test was performed. Sexual relationship, function, frequency fear are significantly better than intercourse satisfaction apparently higher...

Purpose/Relevance Fibrosis and hence capsule formation around the glaucoma implants are main reasons for implant failure. To address these issues, we designed a microfluidic meshwork tested its biocompatibility in rabbit eye model. The amount of fibrosis elicited by was compared to plate conventional drainage device. Methods Six eyes from 3 New Zealand albino rabbits were randomized receive either novel or Ahmed valve model PF7 (AGV PF7). flexible made negative photoresist SU-8 using...
