Purpose to determine whether primary trabeculectomy or medical treatment produces better outcomes in term of quality life (QoL), clinical effectiveness and safety patients presenting with advanced glaucoma. Design multicentre randomised controlled trial Participants between June 3, 2014 May 31, 2017, 453 adults newly diagnosed open angle glaucoma at least one eye (Hodapp Classification) were recruited from 27 secondary care departments the UK, 227 allocated 226 management. Methods...

A key objective in glaucoma is to identify those at risk of rapid progression and blindness. Recently, a novel first-in-man method for visualising apoptotic retinal cells called DARC (Detection-of-Apoptosing-Retinal-Cells) was reported. The aim develop an automatic CNN-aided spot detection enable prediction progression.

Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of Intra-lesional triamcinolone injection in management refractory benign esophageal Stricture children. Methods: Before endoscopic dilatation, acetate (40 mg/ml) was be applied first 5 dilations with an interval one week between and second dilation then every 2 weeks. Results: A total 67 children stricture out 183 (36.6%) who presented were enrolled study, Cause post-corrosive injury (n=59, 88.1%), a smaller proportion attributed to post-TEF repair (n=8,...

Continuous-wave transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (CW-TSCP) is usually reserved for advanced/refractory glaucoma. Micropulse laser therapy (MPTLT) utilises short energy pulses separated by 'off'-periods. MPTLT postulated to have fewer complications, but its relative efficacy not known. The National Institute Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has deemed the evidence supporting use of inadequate quality, limiting research. This study aims evaluate safety compared CW-TSCP.

Purpose To investigate the impact of delay in patient appointments caused by COVID-19 pandemic and triage system on glaucomatous disease patients a London tertiary hospital. Methods Observational retrospective study that randomly selected 200 glaucoma with more than 3 months unintended for their post-COVID visit other inclusion exclusion criteria. Demographic information, clinical data, number drugs, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure (IOP), field (VF) mean deviation...

Background: In addition to the global rise in use of hemodialysis (HD) for end-stage renal disease, individuals receiving maintenance HD continue have higher mortality rates than general population. The among patients Yemen not been studied because lack a national registry system, and impact disease on country is yet be evaluated. Our study aimed assess clinical characteristics factors associated with resource-limited setting. Materials methods: This retrospective involved 4194 at Nephrology...

To assess the safety and efficacy of endocyclophotocoagulation with phacoemulsification (phaco-ECP) in surgically naive, primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).A retrospective case series patients undergoing phaco-ECP between 2007 2017 at a single centre London, UK. The outcome was intraocular pressure (IOP). Secondary outcomes were visual acuity, field global indices, topical medications surgical complications. Failure criteria were: (1) IOP > 21 mmHg or <20% reduction two consecutive visits,...

This case-control study aims to compare the efficacy, safety, and postoperative burden of MicroShunt versus trabeculectomy. The first consecutive cohort procedures (n = 101) was matched recent historical trabeculectomy at two London hospital trusts. Primary endpoints included changes in intraocular pressure (IOP) glaucoma medications. Secondary outcome measures retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thickness, rates complications, further theatre interventions, number visits. From baseline...

We present a rare case of severe corticosteroid-induced ocular hypertension (OHT) after prolonged systemic corticosteroid use in young woman with Takayasu's arteritis. As she did not sufficiently respond to antihypertensive therapies, bilateral enhanced trabeculectomies were required normalize her intraocular pressures. The side effects corticosteroids are well known, yet steroid-induced OHT and glaucoma remain silent causes morbidity. This highlights the importance IOP-monitoring visually...

Acute bacterial meningitis (ABM) is a significant public health problem in developing countries, including Yemen, especially during warfare. This because persistent political turmoil impedes ABM prevalence, etiology, and treatment. Here, we investigate the factors associated with mortality among hospitalized children resource-limited setting.
