Purpose This study compares signs, symptoms and predictive tools used to diagnose dry eye disease (DED) ocular surface disorders in six systemic well-defined non-overlapping diseases. It is well known that these tests are problematic because of a lack agreement between them identifying conditions. Accordingly, we provide here comparative clinical profile analysis different Methods A spontaneous continuous sample patients with Sjögren's syndrome (SS) (n = 27), graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD)...
In Brief Purpose: To describe periorbital changes induced by chronic topical therapy with daily bimatoprost 0.03% (Lumigan, Allergan Inc., Irvine, CA, U.S.A.). Methods: A clinical investigation of 5 nonconsecutive patients unilateral glaucoma treated for up to 4 years prior presentation. Results: eyes the authors noted fat atrophy, deepening upper eyelid sulcus, relative enophthalmos, loss lower fullness, and involution dermatochalasis compared fellow untreated eye. By inspecting old...
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of diode laser transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (DLTSC) to control intraocular pressure (IOP) in keratoprosthesis patients with uncontrolled glaucoma.Between 1993 2007, 18 eyes underwent DLTSC, either before (n=3), during (n=1), or after (n=14) surgery. Keratoprosthesis type I was used 72%. All but one these received an Ahmed Glaucoma Valve, placement. Best-corrected visual acuity, IOP (assessed by digital palpation), number medications, complications...
Abstract Purpose To evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravitreal bevacizumab ( IVB ) in eyes with neovascular glaucoma NVG undergoing Ahmed valve AGV implantation. Methods This was a multicentre, prospective, randomized clinical trial that enrolled 40 patients uncontrolled had undergone panretinal photocoagulation required drainage device Patients were to receive (1.25 mg) or not during implant surgery. Injections administered intra‐operatively, 4 8 weeks after Results After mean...
Este artigo é um recorte de estudo maior, tem como questão norteadora: quais as percepções dos professores das escolas públicas municipais caxienses sobre o processo inclusão educacional? Desse modo, buscou-se analisar Caxias-MA políticas educacionais e a escolar à luz da Pedagogia Histórico-Crítica. Para tal, realizou-se uma pesquisa descritiva exploratória, método dialético com concepção quali-quantitativa análise dados. Foi utilizado questionário impresso do Google Forms questões abertas...
Hormone diseases induce changes in the lacrimal gland (LG) and ocular surface (OS). Thyroid hormone (TH) induces cell proliferation lipid metabolism through activation of TH receptors. The aim present study was to evaluate location comparative expression receptor beta-1 (Thrb) LG rats with hypothyroidism controls impact this disease on OS structure function.Hypothyroidism induced Wistar male by long-term use tiamazole. Ten weeks later corneal cells were collected for impression cytology...
The objective of this study was to investigate the effects Brazilian Scaptotrigona sp propolis, a widely used folk medicine, in corneal wound healing and inflammation.Corneal epithelial defects 1 mm diameter were made right eyes Wistar male adult rats by cauterization with silver nitrate sticks. Subsequently, they divided two groups (n = 40 rats/group): propolis (BP) group topically treated microemulsion containing 1% propolis; vehicle (VH) received same formulation without propolis. defect...
PURPOSE: Tear film can be altered by chronic medications that may disrupt the equilibrium responsible for functioning of lacrimal gland and ocular surface. The purpose this study was to determine if antiglaucomatous treatment induced alterations in tear METHODS: After informed consent, 21 patients using eye drops more than 8 months 20 age- sex-matched volunteers without systemic (control group) were enrolled. data discomfort, fluorescein lisamine green staining, break-up time Schirmer test...
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) may contribute to the scarring process resulting from glaucoma filtration surgery, since this cytokine stimulate fibroblast proliferation. The aim of study was describe a new bevacizumab-loaded polyurethane implant (BPUI) and evaluate its effectiveness as drug delivery system anti-VEGF antibody in rabbit model surgery.An aqueous dispersion obtained via conventional process. Bevacizumab (1.5 mg) then incorporated into subsequently dried form polymeric...
To evaluate changes in the ocular pulse amplitude (OPA) and perfusion pressure (OPP), investigate factors associated with intraocular (IOP) elevation due to periorbital compression during swimming goggles (SG) use.This cross-sectional study evaluated 35 eyes of healthy volunteers wearing a drilled SG. OPP calculation, Goldman applanation tonometry, OPA measurements (using Pascal dynamic contour tonometer) were performed before, during, after SG use. Scleral rigidity (calculated Schiotz...
The prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii infection varies markedly among different populations, especially depending on factors related to socioeconomic development and eating habits. Cássia dos Coqueiros is a small city in Brazil with rural characteristics increased risk traditionally associated T. infection.We carried out cross-sectional study involving 970 inhabitants aged 18 years or more, selected from patients the local health unit home visits urban areas. Each participant completed survey...
Primary congenital glaucoma (PCG), occurs due to the developmental defects in trabecular meshwork and anterior chamber angle children. PCG exhibits genetic heterogeneity CYP1B1 gene has been widely implicated worldwide. Despite diverse mutation spectra, clinical implications of these mutations are yet unclear. The present study attempted delineate profile background from a large cohort 901 subjects India (n=601) Brazil (n=300).Genotype-phenotype correlations was undertaken on clinically well...
Abstract Although ocular toxoplasmosis is a leading cause of posterior uveitis worldwide, there scarce information about the real-life frequency lesions, visual outcomes, and risk factors for poor prognosis. We conducted community-based cross-sectional study with 721 adults living in Cássia dos Coqueiros, Southeast Brazil, consisted acuity measurement, dilated examination, risk-factor questionnaire, peripheral blood collection anti- T. gondii serology. Presumed toxoplasmic lesions were...
PURPOSE: To determine the proportion of blindness and investigate relationships between risk factors based on clinical characteristics development in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) treated for at least 15 years. METHODS: A retrospective observational chart review was performed 403 referred to a tertiary level hospital, each diagnosis glaucoma, Blindness attributable defined visual acuity and/or field tests. Variables considered be possible were evaluated using odds ratio...
