To predict improvement of best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) 1 year after pars plana vitrectomy for epiretinal membrane (ERM) using artificial intelligence methods on optical coherence tomography B-scan images.Four hundred and eleven (411) patients with Stage II ERM were divided in a group (IM) (≥15 ETDRS letters VA recovery) no (N-IM) (<15 letters) according to 1-year 25-G internal limiting peeling. Primary outcome was the creation deep learning classifier (DLC) based images prediction....
OBJECTIVES. The objectives of this study were to (1) assess visual function in low-risk preterm infants at 35 and 40 weeks' postmenstrual age, (2) compare abilities term-equivalent age with term-born infants, (3) evaluate effects extrauterine life on early function. METHODS. Visual was assessed by using a validated test battery 109 who born &lt;31 gestation. findings compared data from collected the same protocol. RESULTS. All completed both assessments. 35-week responses generally less...
Background Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the most common cause of congenital infection in humans. However, there are no enough data on long-term outcome newborns with CMV (cCMV) infection, particularly for those asymptomatic at birth. For this reason, we performed study to evaluate audiological, visual, neurocognitive and behavioral children symptomatic cCMV treated oral Valganciclovir (VGC). Methods 8-year retrospective valganciclovir. Children underwent follow-up. Results Study population: 36...
Preterm infants often require surgery. As experimental evidence suggests that premature may experience pain and this could even result in fatal complications, the anaesthesiologist must face problems related to lowbirth weight, high risk of hypothermia, concomitant pulmonary disease metabolic receptor immaturity. Recently remifentanil has been considered an optimal analgesic drug a preterm infant undergoing mechanical ventilation frequent surgical manoeuvres, but no clinical studies have...
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a multifactorial disease whose pathogenesis organized in two phases. We hypothesized that postnatal risk factors may differently exert their effect phase dependent way.Data obtained from medical records 93 very low birth weight neonates with stage ≥ 3 ROP were analyzed. Perinatal compared between infants not requiring surgery and treatment-requiring relation to newborn's lifetime exposure.In the first weeks whole month life length oxygen administration was...
Summary Background Phenylephrine eye drops are widely used as mydriatic agent to reach the posterior segment of eye. In literature, many reports suggest a systemic absorption this source severe adverse drug reactions. Hence, we reviewed our experience with topical phenylephrine in ophthalmic surgery. Methods May 2006, following US guidelines publication, standard operating procedure was issued rooms standardize use practice. Two years later, after occurrence cluster serious reactions infants...
There is weak evidence on the best treatment of pregnant women with Toxoplasma gondii infection to prevent vertical transmission fetus.We conducted a 28-year retrospective study aiming compare efficacy three therapeutic regimens [Spiramicyn alone (Spy) vs. Pyrimethamine-Sulfadiazine (P/S) Spiramicyn Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole (Spy+TMP-SMX)] for prevention mother-to-fetus T. infection.170 were included: 58 (34.1%) had certain congenital toxoplasmosis (CT), 61 (35.9%) probable and 41...
Da Vinci three-dimensional (3D) system has been increasingly used in customary surgical settings, gaining fundamental relevance for abdominal, urological, and gynecological laparoscopic surgery. The aim of this research is to evaluate the degree discomfort potential changes binocular vision ocular motility operators, who employ 3D systems during robotic Twenty-four surgeons were enrolled study, including twelve typically use routinely 2D system. Routine general ophthalmological orthoptic...
To analyze the incidence of retinopathy prematurity (ROP) in a single neonatal intensive care unit over 10 years to clarify its ROP profile and how it was modified by advances care.Epidemiological data related severity were collected years. Premature infants with birth weight less than 1,500 g underwent screening fundus examination defined according International Classification Retinopathy Prematurity. The survival rates calculated compared for two consecutive time periods (1995-1999 vs...
This study assessed the effectiveness of use ketorolac tromethamine to reduce retinopathy prematurity (ROP) incidence and its progression more severe forms.Forty-seven preterm newborn infants with a birth weight (BW) 1,000 grams or less and/or gestational age (GA) 29 weeks were enrolled in when avascular retina zone I ROP any stage diagnosed at screening. Studied randomized receive ophthalmic solution one eye drop placebo other eye, until requiring treatment full retinal vascularization was...
To use focal electroretinography to evaluate changes in retinal function during transpupillary thermotherapy (TTT) for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (ARMD).Sixteen eyes of 16 patients with ARMD occult choroidal neovascularization (CNV) were studied. A 630-nm photocoagulator aiming beam was modified as a 41-Hz square-wave electroretinogram (fERG) stimulus. The stimulus presented on light-adapting background by Goldmann-type lens (visual angle, 18 degrees; mean luminance, 50...
<title>Abstract</title> Purpose The extended depth-of-focus AcrySof® IQ Vivity® intraocular lens technology offers promising features for presbyopia management, evaluated in this research a 6 months real-world setting. Methods Prospective interventional mono-centric study including 40 patients who underwent elective bilateral phacoemulsification. We performed one pre-operative visit (V0) and evaluation six post-operatively, evaluating uncorrected corrected visual acuity near (UNVA/CNVA),...
