In Brief Purpose: To correlate the postoperative visual outcome with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) findings in fovea after successful rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repair. Cross-sectional, observational study. Methods: Thirty-five patients preoperative macula-on (12 eyes) and macula-off (23 who underwent scleral buckling surgery for primary were recruited. Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study best-corrected acuity measurement, microperimetry, SD-OCT...

Vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) is a chronic inflammatory eye condition predominantly affecting children. Despite its varied clinical manifestations, VKC poses challenges in diagnosis and management because of multifactorial nature, potentially involving allergic sensitization comorbidities. The purpose this study was to comprehensively assess VKC, focusing on the possible effect form, severity, quality life pediatric patients with VKC. In retrospective study, encompassing 248 children...

Vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) is a bilateral ocular inflammatory disease with conjunctival and corneal involvement typical onset during childhood. Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) chronic characterized by eosinophilic inflammation of the mucosa (≥15 eosinophils/HPF) symptoms esophageal dysfunction. EoE VKC are both immune-mediated diseases sharing similar pathogenetic mechanism high association other allergic diseases. Nevertheless, no data currently available about their clinical...

Abstract Background Vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) is a bilateral, chronic, allergic condition mostly affecting children. Clinical evaluations may not necessarily reflect the impact of disease on patients’ health‐related quality life (HRQoL). We aimed to evaluate HRQoL in children at VKC diagnosis and analyze correlations between clinical laboratory variables. Methods studied 5‐ 12‐year‐old patients with VKC. Data history, instrumental eye evaluations, blood examinations, visual analog...

Abstract Background Down syndrome (DS) or Trisomy 21 is the most common chromosomal disease and characterized by possible heart defects, cognitive impairment visual disorders. Case presentation We describe for first time a 17-year-old Caucasian girl suffering from associated with vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC), rare disorder of anterior segment eye, intense photophobia, redness, watering eyes itching due to an inflammatory-allergic reaction cornea conjunctiva. On slit-lamp examination,...

Abstract Cleft lip and palate (CL/P) is the most prevalent craniofacial birth defect in humans. None of surgical procedures currently used for CL/P repair lead to definitive correction hard bone interruption. Advances tissue engineering regenerative medicine aim develop new strategies restore palatal interruption by using or organ-decellularized bioscaffolds seeded with host cells. Aim this study was set up a natural scaffold deriving from decellularized porcine mucoperiosteum, engineered an...

Vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) is a chronic, inflammatory-allergic disease of the cornea and conjunctiva. Environmental factors, such as light exposure, have been supposed to play role in pathogenesis ocular inflammation worsening VKC.The aim this study was estimate impact reduced sunlight exposure patients with VKC during imposed lockdown period for SARS-CoV-2 pandemic emergency.We retrospectively reviewed data visited spring season 2020 2019 at Keratoconjunctivitis Multidisciplinar...
