OBJECTIVE: This study was an uncontrolled trial to assess the efficacy of a smoking cessation group program modified for individuals with schizophrenia. METHOD: Fifty outpatients schizophrenia were divided into five groups who met separately seven weekly sessions program. The subjects' schizophrenic and extrapyramidal symptoms assessed before began after they had been completed. Assessments made at those times 3-month 6-month follow-ups. RESULTS: Forty-two percent subjects stopped end...
Autonomic cardiovascular regulation was evaluated in 35 women, 19 with mitral valve prolapse and 16 healthy controls. Heart rate responses to the diving reflex phenylephrine infusion were diminished patients. Noninvasive measures of cardiac output, heart rate, blood pressure, forearm flow leg volume during lower body negative pressure (LBNP) showed that patients had less extremity pooling conductance. Blood pressures LBNP rose or remained unchanged despite decreases output 20--25%. These...
Bevacizumab (Avastin) is a monoclonal antibody which targets all isoforms of vascular endothelial growth factor A. Its potent anti-angiogenic effects have been shown to cause regression neovascularization in proliferative diabetic retinopathy. The aim this study investigate the role Avastin as an adjunct vitrectomy management severe eye disease.Sixteen patients (18 eyes) with retinopathy were recruited into study. All eyes underwent single intravitreal injection bevacizumab 1.25 mg 0.05 mL...
Careful surgical management of traumatic wounds is important in open globe injury repair. This study examines the clinical outcomes following repair injuries with particular focus on wound-related issues.Retrospective, cohort consecutive presenting to a tertiary referral eye hospital from 1 January 2009 31 December 2011.A total 267 eyes 263 patients, mainly male (82.5%) mean age 44.8 (range: 4-97) years. Average follow up was 6.9 months.All cases classified according Ocular Trauma...
Intravenous drug use (IVDU) is a known risk factor for endogenous endophthalmitis. Endogenous fungal endophthalmitis (EFE) emerging as common problem among this community. We describe the management and visual outcomes of acute IVDU-associated EFE.A prospective consecutive case series 19 patients presenting with presumed EFE from 2001 to 2007 Royal Victorian Eye Ear Hospital was included. All data were collected in standardized manner. Outcome measures included acuity, microbial profiles,...
To evaluate the effect of photodynamic therapy on amelanotic choroidal melanoma.Nine patients with posteriorly located melanomas, one a pigmented portion, underwent using verteporfin as photosensitizing agent. The basal diameters ranged from 4 mm to 16 and heights 1.3 5.7 mm. Treatment was repeated until melanoma completely flat or its height had reached stable end point. Tumor response assessed by clinical examination, photography, ultrasonography. Annual screening for hepatic metastases...
To determine the rate of progression or regression pelvic organ prolapse (POP) in subjects with symptomatic POP who decline intervention (pessary surgery) and elect observation.Sixty-four patients choosing observation as primary management were followed sequential quantification (POP-Q) exams. A change leading edge value ±≥2 cm was considered significant. POP-Q exam results, choice therapy symptom severity at last visit recorded.The vaginal initial ranged from -1.5 to 7 cm. Distribution by...
A bstract The management of choroidal melanoma involves a delicate balance between preserving vision and preventing metastasis. Plaque brachytherapy has become standard most small lesions; however, this can result in radiation retinopathy optic neuropathy. Transpupillary thermotherapy avoids these side‐effects; it also visual loss its effectiveness is limited amelanotic lesions. Photodynamic therapy with verteporfin shown promise animal studies melanoma, recently been used the lesions that...
Purpose: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of primary photodynamic therapy (PDT) for posterior choroidal amelanotic melanomas. Methods: Patients with melanomas up to 6 mm in height were treated PDT using verteporfin as photosensitizing agent. Treatment was repeated every 3 months until tumor flat a maximum treatments. Tumor response recurrence assessed by clinical examination, photography, ultrasonography. monitored monthly minimum years. Results: Thirty-six 41 (88%) patients had complete...
Abstract: Needle drainage of subretinal fluid with simultaneous observation using the indirect ophthalmoscope has been reported to have a very low complication rate. The technique was evaluated by prospective clinical trial. study group consisted 100 patients undergoing scleral buckling for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment who were randomly assigned groups treated needle or conventional two-stage drainage. At 1 month, retina anatomically flat in 88% all cases. Subretinal hemorrhage occurred...
Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of retention removal silicone oil in treatment complicated retinal detachments. Methods: The records 344 patients (348 eyes) that underwent vitrectomy injection for detachments were abstracted analysed. anatomical functional results, complications influencing factors are discussed. outcome eyes after was compared with a comparable group which retained. Results: overall reattachment rate 63% (220/348). final vision 5/300 or better...
