This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between ophthalmologic factors and serologic indicator soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 (sFlt-1): placental growth factor (PlGF) ratio in patients with preeclampsia using optical coherence tomography (OCT) OCT angiography (OCT-A). A total of 52 pregnant (104 eyes) diagnosed were recruited during their hospital stay. The associations sFlt-1/PlGF chorioretinal measurements, including choroidal thickness (CT), foveal avascular zone, vascular...

Alcohol-based hand sanitizers (ABHS) are widely used for hygiene due to the coronavirus disease pandemic. However, risk awareness regarding its adverse effects is lacking. We aim report a case of ocular chemical burn that showed severe clinical presentation associated with ABHS.A 5-year-old girl presented left eye pain after 62% gel-type ABHS splashed into her eye.On slit lamp examination, near total corneal and conjunctival epithelial defect limbal pale on lower half cornea was noted....

There is no golden standard method of suturing for distal common calcaneal tendon rupture in dogs. Thus this study aimed to evaluate and compare the mechanical characteristics three distinct transosseous suture (TOS) repair techniques, which were specifically developed treat ruptured tendons identify method. The was performed using 30 hind limbs obtained from 15 canine cadavers with weights ranging between 7.9 kg 11.4 kg. methods modified Becker (group 1), Krackow 2), double-Tsuge 3)...

Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) is the ‘gold standard’ treatment for nasolacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO). However, despite its recent technical advancements, complications are possible. Herein, to best of our knowledge, we present first reported case delayed unilateral pneumocephalus after bilateral endoscopic DCR. An 85-year-old man with NLDO underwent DCR silicone intubation. After 1 month, he became lethargic and was admitted emergency room. Brain CT demonstrated left a suspected...

The presence of choroidal melanocytic hyperpigmentation without any associated scleral or skin pigmentation was first defined by Ausburger et al.[1] as "isolated melanocytosis" in 11 Caucasian individuals. Isolated melanocytosis must be evaluated closely; the differential diagnoses include ocular oculodermal melanocytosis, nevus, melanoma, bilateral diffuse uveal proliferation, and systemic conditions, such Waardenburg syndrome. Only a few cases have been reported since,[23] most reports...
