To compare the outcomes of iStent vs. inject implantation combined with phacoemulsification.This single center retrospective comparative case series included subjects open angle glaucoma who underwent or phacoemulsification ≥1 year follow-up. The main outcome measures were in-group and between-group changes in intraocular pressure (IOP) medication number, proportion eyes that achieved IOP ≤15 mmHg, surgical success defined as 20% reduction from baseline at 6/12 months....

Précis: In this retrospective study, the use of chronic antithrombotic therapy (ATT) did not increase risk hemorrhagic complications after trabecular bypass microstent surgery and phacoemulsification. Stent type female sex were associated with hyphema. Purpose: To report incidence phacoemulsification without (ATT). Methods: Retrospective case series on glaucoma patients ATT who underwent (iStent, iStent inject, Hydrus) combined between 2013 2019 ≥3-month follow-up. The primary outcome...

To evaluate the effect of phacoemulsification on intraocular pressure (IOP) in eyes with functioning tube shunts.This was a retrospective chart review primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) patients who underwent and had ≥24 months follow-up. The end point defined as surgical failure (IOP > 21 mmHg) at month 24, progression to no light perception (NLP) vision, reoperation, or implant removal. Surgical IOP >18 >15 mmHg, changes visual acuity (VA), IOP, number medications were...

Young infants who develop fever are at an increased risk for serious infection. It is unclear, however, what temperature cutoff would be optimal to begin evaluating these because some criteria use different thresholds. We sought determine the percentage of presenting Emergency Department (ED) with a less than 38.2°C infection compared those higher temperatures.We used publicly available dataset from Pediatric Care Applied Research Network. Patients were included if they aged 60 days or...

PURPOSE Pancreatic adenocarcinoma is an aggressive disease with poor clinical outcomes. Primary pancreatic tumors originating from the head of pancreas (H) have different prognostic implications than arising body and tail (BT). This thought to be largely due anatomic differences, as molecular underpinnings survival not been fully explored. We hypothesized that differences in primary site H BT might account for differential outcomes response chemotherapy. METHODS Retrospective data a single...

Understanding how underlying health conditions and social determinants of affect the severity COVID-19 is critical for community response planning. Literature reports that groups at higher risk from include those 65 older, living in nursing homes long-term care facilities, with severe obesity, diabetes, chronic lung disease, or asthma. In addition, other studies has shown disease disproportionately affects individuals lower socio-economic status. Our research seeks to validate these findings...

INTRODUCTION: Direct Access Colonoscopy (DAC), which does not require pre-colonoscopy consultation, may improve access for patients (pts) needing screening and surveillance. Eligibility criteria DAC vary widely. We developed a program using data (age, BMI, medical/colonoscopy/social history, medications) from the EMR, referring doctors, pts to assess appropriateness, inadequate preparation (prep) risk, need an advanced practice nurse and/or navigator. The aim of this study was evaluate...

Alkali injuries are ocular emergencies that require immediate evaluation and therapy to preserve vision. Severe alkali can result in long-term vision-threatening sequelae including symblepharon, corneal ulceration, scarring, limbal stem cell deficiency, xerophthalmia, cicatricial changes of the eyelid adnexa, glaucoma, uveitis, permanent vision loss. Treatment is aimed at neutralizing pH, controlling inflammation, restoring surface. Here, we present case a 35-year-old male who sustained...
