The ideal intraocular lens in cases of aphakia without capsular support is debated. Choices include anterior chamber lenses, iris- or scleral-sutured and iris-claw lenses. Our aim was to report our long-term evaluation the use retropupillary implantation Artisan (RPICIOL) several aphakic conditions support. A retrospective analysis consecutive 320 eyes patients (222 males 98 females) which we performed RPICIOL post-traumatic (141 eyes, group 1), post-cataract surgery (122 2), penetrating...
Human dental pulp is a promising alternative source of stem cells for cell-based tissue engineering in regenerative medicine, the easily recruitment with low invasivity patient and self-renewal differentiation potential cells. So far, vitro culture mesenchymal usually based on supplementing media foetal calf serum (FCS). FCS known to contain great quantity growth factors, thus promote cell attachment plastic surface as well expansion differentiation. Nevertheless, an animal origin supplement...
Peripheral nerve injuries are a commonly encountered clinical problem and often result in long-term functional defects. The application of stem cells able to differentiate Schwann cell-like vitro vivo, could represent an attractive therapeutic approach for the treatment injuries. Further, sources sharing same embryological origin as might be considered suitable tool. aim this study was demonstrate ability neuroectodermal subpopulation human STRO-1+/c-Kit+/CD34+ DPSCs, expressing P75NTR,...
Backgroud: Alzheimer disease is an age-related severe neurodegenerative pathology. The level of the third endogenous gas, hydrogen sulfide (H2S), decreased in brain Alzheimer's (AD) patients compared with age-matched normal individuals; also, plasma H2S levels are negatively correlated severity AD. Recently, we have demonstrated that systemic injections neuroprotective early phase preclinical AD.This study focuses on possible neuroprotection a chronic treatment donor and sulfurous water...
Background: The association between HAART and lipodystrophy is well established, but pathogenesis still poorly understood. Drugs, in particular protease inhibitors, accumulate adipose tissue affecting adipocyte physiology gene expression by several mechanisms. Recent studies have identified autophagy as another process affected these classes of drugs, no been performed cells. Methods: SW872 preadipocytic human cell line was used to evaluate changes induced amprenavir (APV), ritonavir (RTV),...
The province of Modena is one the most industrialized areas Northern Italy. medical records Ophthalmological Emergency Department (OED) University Hospital were studied: there 13,470 OED accesses in 2014 and 754 cases that an occupational eye injury occurred. frequency work-related injuries (3‰) was lower compared to other published studies, but absolute number still relevant, showing need for more adequate prevention, especially metal work, construction agriculture, where worst prognoses...
To assess the clinical utility of targeted Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) for diagnosis Inherited Retinal Dystrophies (IRDs), a total 109 subjects were enrolled in study, including 88 IRD affected probands and 21 healthy relatives. Clinical diagnoses included Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP), Leber Congenital Amaurosis (LCA), Stargardt Disease (STGD), Best Macular Dystrophy (BMD), Usher Syndrome (USH), other IRDs with undefined diagnosis. Participants underwent complete ophthalmologic examination...
Purpose: To determine whether internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling during pars plana vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment reduces the incidence of epiretinal (ERM) formation. Methods: In this retrospective study, preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative data from all eyes undergoing between January 2007 December 2013 was analyzed. All cases with at least 1-year follow-up were included. Data collection included vision, intraoperative complications, occurrence ERM,...
PURPOSE: To compare the outcomes of bimanual microphacoemulsification and coaxial miniphacoemulsification assess potential advantages former over latter. SETTING: Institute Ophthalmology, University Modena, Italy. METHODS: In a controlled prospective clinical trial, 100 eyes 50 patients with nuclear or corticonuclear cataract grade 2 to 4 on Lens Opacities Classification System III had phacoemulsification. Fifty were randomized have surgery by technique 50, technique. All surgeries performed...
The age-related trend values and the normal intraocular pressure (IOP) increase curve from birth through 16th year of life were studied in 460 subjects with a noncontact tonometer (Keeler Pulsair, Keeler, Ltd, Windsor, Berks, UK). Much lower than adults recorded up to age 3 or 4 years. This finding leads us believe that treatment infantile glaucoma IOP should be kept within physiologic levels, an attempt prevent visual field loss optic atrophy.
Hypovolemic shock is a circulatory failure, due to loss in the effective circulating blood volume, that causes tissue hypoperfusion and hypoxia. This condition stimulates reactive oxygen species (ROS) pro-inflammatory cytokine production different organs also central nervous system (CNS). Levosimendan, cardioprotective inodilator, dobutamine, β1-adrenergic agonist, are commonly used for treatment of hypovolemic shock, thanks their anti-inflammatory antioxidant effects. For this reason, we...
Purpose To demonstrate that in case of absence capsular support intraocular lens (IOL) scleral fixation is both effective and stable over years. Methods A total 13 eyes from patients who underwent an IOL according to Lewis suturing technique between January 2001 December 2008 were studied. Patients a complete ophthalmologic evaluation. The stability was assessed using slit-lamp anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) examination. evaluated terms centration tilting. All the...
Purpose To evaluate the incidence of ophthalmologic and systemic complications in patients who undergo cataract surgery without preoperative tests compared to subjects undergoing preceded by tests. Methods The randomized controlled study included 1276 consecutive admitted Institute Ophthalmology University Modena Reggio Emilia for surgery. were randomly divided into two groups: 638 assigned not evaluation based on routine medical electrocardiograms; other underwent said Ophthalmologic...
To assess the postoperative macular reattachment through OCT3 in eyes treated with episcleral surgery due to macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, as well verify if there is a statistically relevant relation between persistence of subfoveal detachment and poor functional recovery.Twelve 12 patients who underwent were enrolled examined prospective study. Exclusion criteria following: traumatic detachments, relapses, holes, amblyopia, grade B proliferative vitreoretinopathy or higher....
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of bimanual, low-energy femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery with 1.4-mm microincisions compared to standard bimanual phacoemulsification (bimanual microincision surgery). Design: Prospective, non-randomized comparative case series. Methods: Bimanual was performed on 80 eyes (Group A) Ziemer LDV Z8; a matched case–control series technique selected for comparison B). All interventions were by same experienced surgeon. Intraoperative...
Background: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of subthreshold micropulse yellow laser (SMYL) in treatment chronic postoperative cystoid macular edema (PCME), which is refractory to standard therapies. Methods: A retrospective chart review ten eyes patients affected by PCME who underwent SMYL was performed. Five cases were subsequent uncomplicated cataract surgery (CS), two complicated CS (CCS) with posterior capsule rupture three occurred after retinal detachment (RD). All conditions...
