This study compared the efficacy and safety of hyaluronic acid (HA)-trehalose, a new eyedrop containing trehalose (a natural bioprotectant) HA, to an established formulation only HA.This was phase III, randomized, active-controlled, investigator-masked, multicenter in France Tunisia. In all, 105 adult patients (≥18 years) with moderate severe dry eye disease (DED) received either HA-trehalose (n = 52) or HA 53) 3-6 times per day for 84 days. The primary variable Oxford grading score at 35. A...
To characterise and analyse ocular manifestations associated with acute murine typhus (MT), an infectious disease caused by Rickettsia typhi.Nine consecutive patients (18 eyes) serologically confirmed MT at the stage were enrolled in this prospective, non-comparative study. All underwent complete ophthalmic examination, including dilated biomicroscopic fundus photography, fluorescein angiography (FA) indocyanine green (ICG) angiography.Of nine patients, eight (88.9%) had bilateral...
Purpose: To evaluate the clinical improvement in ocular symptoms and signs patients suffering from Demodex anterior blepharitis after using a novel cleansing wipe impregnated with 2.5% terpinen-4-ol 0.2% hyaluronic acid. Study design: This was an exploratory, multicenter, open, randomized, two-parallel group comparative study. Methods: Forty-eight were randomly assigned to apply sterile T1172 (Blephademodex®), either once daily (n=24, Group 1) or twice 2) for 29 days. Overall discomfort...
Abstract: In the Middle East and Northern Africa (MENA), dry eye disease (DED) is often misdiagnosed or overlooked. This review summarizes a series of conversations with ophthalmologists in region around variety climatic, lifestyle, iatrogenic factors that contribute to specific features DED MENA region. These considerations are further classified by patient lifestyle surgical choices. All statements based on discussions formal voting achieve consensus over three meetings. Overall, deeper...
To describe a patient with Valsalva retinopathy induced by labour.Case report.A 29-year-old woman at her second pregnancy complained of sudden loss vision in left eye during spontaneous labour. Visual acuity was reduced to counting fingers. Funduscopy revealed large preretinal hemorrhage the macula eye. Three weeks after delivery, hematoma treated Nd:YAG laser. Two treatment, visual 20/20 and premacular had resolved.A rise intra-abdominal pressure labour may result retinopathy. laser be...
Purpose: To analyze the pattern of childhood uveitis in a referral center Tunisia, North Africa. Methods:The study included 64 patients with examined at Department Ophthalmology Monastir (Tunisia) from January 1994 to July 2005. All had comprehensive ocular and systemic history, including an extensive review medical systems. Complete ophthalmic examination was performed all cases, best-corrected Snellen visual acuity, slit-lamp examination, applanation tonometry, dilated fundus 3-mirror...
Purpose: To identify factors associated with the development and severity of chorioretinitis (CR) in patients West Nile virus (WNV) infection. Methods: Prospective study 38 WNV Results: Simple analysis showed that diabetes (p = 0.027) age older than 45 years 0.03) were significantly CR. When controlling for age, only association between CR remains statistically significant. Diabetic patients' eyes more likely to have macular involvement < 0.0001), 20 or chorioretinal lesions 0.001), lesion...

The factors and cellular interactions that influence the commitment of cells to specific neural lineages are not well understood. We have used cultured non-neuronal process-bearing (PB) from neonatal rat cerebral cortices as a model assess various culture conditions on determination either astroglia or oligodendroglia. Increasing postseparation plating density was significantly associated (p less than 0.001) with decreasing percentages glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP+) cells,...
A 43-year-old man with fever, headache, and skin rash developed unilateral acute anterior ischemic optic neuropathy. The indirect immunofluorescence test was positive for Rickettsia conorii.
