Background: There are an estimated one million completed suicides per year worldwide. As a response to increasing concern about suicide within Europe, the EUROSAVE (European Review of Suicide and Violence Epidemiology) study was undertaken examine recent trends in epidemiology self‐inflicted injury mortality European Union (EU). Methods: data for 15 EU countries years 1984–1998 were obtained from World Health Organisation (WHO), Statistical Office Commission (EUROSTAT) national statistical...
To study the impact of benzalkonium chloride (BAK) exposure from eye drops on subsequent time to trabeculectomy failure.Retrospective chart review 128 glaucoma patients who had undergone a between 2004 and 2006. The number type ophthalmic used preoperatively relevant demographics were recorded. Surgical failure criteria included inadequate pressure lowering or need for postoperative ocular antihypertensives, laser trabeculoplasty, 5-fluorouracil needling, repeated surgery. Patients examined...
This review discusses the evidence concerning effect of topical medications and their preservatives on ocular surface in glaucoma patients. The role anti-glaucoma medication remains critical management chronic worldwide but beneficial effects treatment are counterbalanced by adverse corneal conjunctival toxicity. Areas covered: article covers drops preservatives, particularly benzalkonium chloride, cornea conjunctiva. Both basic science clinical will be presented. first part reviews...
Psychological distress (PD) (mental ill-health) has a frequency between 5 and 25% in urban populations, there is mounting evidence that access to green space might reduce its occurrence. Evidence suggests the quality of as important accessibility promoting mental well-being. A pilot study for EURO-URHIS 2 allowed investigation relation PD deprived population UK. An adult health indicator questionnaire, including GHQ-12 validated questions on space, was sent stratified random sample 1680...
To evaluate the intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering efficacy and safety of 10 15 µg bimatoprost implant in patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG) or ocular hypertension (OHT). This randomized, 20-month, multicenter, masked, parallel-group, phase 3 trial enrolled 528 OAG OHT an open iridocorneal angle inferiorly study eye. Study eyes were administered on day 1, week 16, 32, twice-daily topical timolol maleate 0.5%. Primary endpoints IOP change from baseline through 12. Safety measures...
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) versus argon (ALT) in lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension secondary to pseudoexfoliation. Design: Multicentered randomized clinical trial. Participants A total 76 eyes from 60 pseudoexfoliation and uncontrolled IOP were recruited 5 Canadian academic institutions. Patients prior trabeculoplasty, surgery within 6 months, previous surgery, an advanced visual field...
Relative deprivation (RD) theory states that the perception of relative positions one's group and an out‐group in terms status privilege is psychologically important. RD predictions for members oppressed groups include increased endorsement militant acts, decreased feelings control life‐satisfaction as a function perceived discrimination. In present study, these were tested with 74 Toronto's gay male lesbian community. measures encompassed cognitive‐affective (i.e. concerned knowledge vs....
The numerous additions to the group of Streptothrices which have been recently made, and close resemblance majority these newly described forms bear one another, render it by no means an easy task assure oneself that a freshly isolated member this is has not previously met with described. A curious fact also, soon strikes anyone who investigates literature relating micro-organisms, in very few particular form author another. While great interest bacteriologist naturally attaches any new...
To compare the effectiveness of argon laser trabeculoplasty (ALT) and selective (SLT) in lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) younger patients (age 60 or less).This was a prospective randomized control trial. Forty-two young 29 to y) had 1 eye ALT (n=22) SLT (n=20). IOP measured before hour, day, 6 weeks, 3 months, every months until 2 years, then yearly postlaser. Chi-square analysis Student t test were used determine statistical significance.The mean treatment 21.9 mm Hg for 19.1 with no...
To assess which signs and symptoms were relieved by gold weight implantation persisted.Prospective observational cohort.Tertiary care neurotology oncology center.Sixteen (4 males 12 females) consecutive patients whose average age was 56 years (age range, 31-76 years). Inclusion criteria implant, lagophthalmos of 2 mm or more, a House-Brackmann score 3 less at the completion follow-up. Mean follow-up 13 months.Each patient received implant. Six these underwent lower eyelid procedure.Surgical...
Purpose To determine the efficacy of a subconjunctival needling revision using 5-fluorouracil (5FU) when administered to patients who have nonfiltering, flat, or encapsulated blebs over 1 year after original surgery. Methods The charts 37 glaucoma patients, had undergone both trabeculectomy filtering procedure and 5FU revision, with minimum interval between these procedures no intervening surgical procedures, were retrospectively reviewed. was clinic 30-gauge needle 0.1 mL 50 mg/mL 5FU....
Purpose Latanoprost, travoprost, and bimatoprost are prostaglandin or prostamide-type ocular hypotensive medications, all of which effective safe for lowering intraocular pressure (IOP). Most studies with these types drugs have included patients mainly from European white ethnic backgrounds; however, some reports suggested that there is a difference in response between African racial heritage. On account the possibility may act differently people different background, we decided to study...
Purpose . To describe the distribution of ocular variables, risk factors, and disease severity in newly diagnosed hypertension (OH) or open-angle glaucoma (OAG). Methods Eligible subjects underwent a complete history examination. Adjusted odds ratios (ORs) 95% confidence intervals (CIs) obtained from multiple logistic regression models were used to compare OAG OH advanced early/moderate OAG. Results 405 enrolled: 292 (72.1%) with 113 (27.9%) OH. 51.7% had early, 27.1% moderate, 20.9% The OR...
