Purpose: To compare long-term surgical outcomes in exfoliative glaucoma (XFG) versus primary open-angle (POAG) after trabeculectomy with mitomycin-C. Methods: This retrospective, case-control study included 32 eyes of XFG and 64 POAG matched by propensity score analysis. Surgical success was defined according to 3 different criteria: (1) intraocular pressure (IOP)<18 mm Hg IOP reduction ≥20% without medication; (2) IOP<15 ≥25% (3) IOP<18 or medication. Cumulative probabilities were...

Purpose: The microbiome is considered an environmental factor that contributes to the progression of several neurodegenerative diseases. However, association between and glaucoma remains unclear. This study investigated features oral in patients with analyzed biomarker candidates using a machine learning approach predict severity glaucoma.Methods: taxonomic composition was obtained 16S rRNA gene sequencing, operational unit analysis, diversity analysis. differentially expressed (DEG)...

To evaluate the safety and efficacy [intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering effect medication use] of a single trabecular microbypass stent (iStent; Glaukos Corp, San Clemente, CA) for medically controlled open-angle glaucoma.This retrospective case series included 42 eyes 34 patients with glaucoma IOP less than 21 mm Hg. Clinical outcomes analyzed were IOP, use, corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), surgical complications. Surgical success was defined according to 4 criteria: < Hg without...

Context: There are few reports on the management of extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue type (MALT), which based experience a single institution, as opposed to large multicenter randomized trials. Aim: The aim this study was report clinical institution. Materials and Methods: A retrospective review undertaken records 95 patients with MALT ocular adnexa. Histologic diagnosis made according established criteria, staging carried out determine treatment...

To investigate the prevalence of pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PXS) and factors associated with PXS in South Koreans by analyzing data from Korean National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES).Using KNHANES database 2009-2012, 13,223 participants aged 50 years or older were included. Participants underwent standardized interviews systemic ocular examinations. Systemic analyzed included age, sex, daily length sun exposure, presence Raynaud phenomenon migraine, hypertension, diabetes...

To determine the early predictors of surgical success 6 months after XEN surgery among clinical parameters, including anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT).A total 31 eyes with medically uncontrolled primary open-angle glaucoma or pseudoexfoliation was enrolled retrospectively. Using AS-OCT, tip location categorized into intraconjunctival, intratenon, uviform at day 1 and blebs were classified no low, high sparse, thick, cystic, mixed walls month 6. slit-lamp photography,...

임수호⋅이상범 영남대학교 의과대학 안과학교실 목적: 입원치료를 시행한 세균각막염의 원인균주와 항생제내성의 변화를 알아보고자 하였다.대상과 방법: 1998년 1월부터 2009년 12월까지 영남대학교병원에서

To compare the lamina cribrosa (LC) thickness of healthy subjects and patients with unilateral branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO), to determine possible correlations between LC BRVO subtypes.This prospective, cross-sectional study included a total 46 naive, untreated, 31 control subjects. The site was divided into two types: arteriovenous crossing (AV-BRVO) optic nerve (ON-BRVO). head scanned using enhanced-depth imaging Spectralis optical coherence tomography system.The mean both eyes in...

Abstract Background The microbiome could trigger inflammation leading to epigenetic changes and is involved in the pathophysiology of eye diseases; however, its effect on uveitic glaucoma (UG) has not been fully investigated. This study analysed differences eyelid buccal microbiomes patients with UG using next-generation sequencing. Methods specimens 34 25 control were collected. taxonomic composition was obtained via 16S ribosomal DNA Diversity differential gene expression analyses (DEG)...

Abstract Introduction: Despite its proven effectiveness and safety profile, the XEN Gel Stent (Allergan Inc., CA, USA) has a small lumen is therefore likely to become occluded by fibrin, blood clot, or even iris. However, few studies have investigated XEN-iris occlusion how manage this condition. We describe first case report of recurrent gel stent obstruction iris incarceration, which was resolved following combined treatment with argon laser peripheral iridoplasty (ALPI) low-energy...

To evaluate the intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering effect of second-generation trabecular microbypass stents (iStent® inject) with cataract extraction (combination group) and compare refractive changes in combination group control (phacoemulsification only) group.This retrospective case-control study included 36 eyes medically controlled open-angle glaucoma IOP < 21 mmHg 100 nonglaucomatous cataract. Data were collected preoperatively for 6 months postoperatively. IOP, number medications,...

Abstract Background The relationship between intraocular pressure (IOP) changes and hemodialysis has been evaluated for several decades. However, no report on an IOP rise in uveitis patients during previously documented. This describes the case of patient with repetitive spikes associated severe ocular pain sessions, which resolved after glaucoma filtering surgery. Case presentation A 47-year-old male diabetes hypertension had complained recurrent left eye sessions. slit-lamp examination...

Microbiomes have immunoregulatory functions and may be involved in the pathophysiology of eye diseases. However, effects microbiomes on uveitic glaucoma (UG) open-angle (OAG) not been sufficiently investigated. This study analysed differences eyelid buccal between UG OAG using metagenomic technology.Eyelid specimens were collected from 34 62 patients. The taxonomic composition microbiome was determined via 16S rRNA gene sequencing, operational unit analysis diversity analysis. Differential...
