Adipose tissue-derived "stem cells" have been increasingly used by "stem-cell clinics" in the United States and elsewhere to treat a variety of disorders. We evaluated three patients whom severe bilateral visual loss developed after they received intravitreal injections autologous adipose at one such clinic States. In these patients, last documented acuity on Snellen eye chart before injection ranged from 20/30 20/200. The patients' was associated with ocular hypertension, hemorrhagic...
In Brief Purpose: To report the clinical features, possible associations and treatment outcomes of patients with macular hole after pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) (single or multiple) for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RD). Methods: Retrospective consecutive case series from July 2009 to 2014. Results: 15 study patients, average time RD surgery diagnosis was 119 days (range: 41–398 months). Possible include epiretinal membrane (73%, 11/15 patients), macula-off (60%, 9/15 recurrent (47%,...
To examine the short-term efficacy and safety of gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) in a series patients who developed glaucoma following vitreoretinal surgery.Retrospective case consecutive aged above 18 years with secondary open-angle surgery had undergone GATT between January 2015 June 2019. Eyes were excluded if there is<1 month follow-up or before surgery.Eight eyes 8 included, age range to 72 (median 43.5 y). Mean pretreatment intraocular pressure (IOP) was 32.7±5.1...
Introduction The purpose of this study is to determine baseline demographics and utilization trend an on-demand, synchronous tele-ophthalmology triage program in evaluating acute ophthalmic concerns during the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency. Methods Setting: Single-center retrospective chart review telemedicine visits conducted by ophthalmologists optometrists from University Miami’s Bascom Palmer Eye Institute. Patient population: 6227 patients comprised 7138 telehealth encounters. All...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: To report the visual and anatomical outcomes microbiologic spectrum of culture-positive endophthalmitis in open globe injuries (OGIs) with or without intraocular foreign bodies (IOFBs). PATIENTS METHODS: A retrospective, interventional case series OGIs (n = 718) treated between 2004 2015. Patients underwent a management protocol for OGI, including systemic broad-spectrum antibiotics, on presentation. RESULTS: Culture-positive cases after repair occurred 2.1% eyes 15...
CRISPR gene editing and control systems continue to emerge inspire novel research clinical applications. Advances in performance such as optimizing the duration of activity cells, tissues, organisms, well limiting off-target activities, have been extremely important for expanding utility CRISPR-based systems. By investigating effects various chemical modifications guide RNAs (gRNAs) at defined positions combinations, we find that 2'-O-methyl-3'-phosphonoacetate (MP) can be substantially more...
A 20-year-old man with a history of pre-B cell acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) presented optic perineuritis the right eye while undergoing chemotherapy. Evaluation failed to reveal an infectious or neoplastic cause, and patient improved oral corticosteroid treatment. He returned 10 weeks later complete loss vision in eye. Optic nerve biopsy revealed leukemic infiltration nerve, was treated for central nervous system (CNS) relapse ALL. Transient may be initial manifestation CNS involvement
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Anterior chamber migration of the dexamethasone intravitreal implant (Ozurdex; Allergan, Irvine, CA) may lead to corneal edema and elevated intraocular pressure, warranting removal implant. MATERIALS METHODS: A 59-year-old patient with a history prior vitrectomy, posterior lens disrupted capsule, large inferior peripheral iridectomy presented decreased vision due following injection. The authors describe their technique for removal, which uses standard vitreoretinal...
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to report clinical features and outcomes in patients with giant retinal tears (GRTs) undergoing vitreoretinal surgery compare data from contemporary series a previous the same institution. Materials methods: A retrospective, interventional, consecutive case conducted for all diagnosed GRTs who underwent between January 2011 August 2017. Intraoperative including use scleral buckling, perfluorocarbon liquid, intraocular tamponade were collected compared...
Little is known about homocysteine metabolism in intestine. To address this question, we investigated under conditions of folate adequacy and deprivation the Caco-2 cell line, a model human intestinal mucosal cells. cells were cultured media enriched with [3-(13)C]serine [U-(13)C(5)]methionine tracers, enrichments intracellular free amino acid pools these acids as well homocysteine, cystathionine, cysteine measured by using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Homocysteine transsulfuration...
Homocysteine and vitamin D may play a role in the development of diabetic hypertensive retinopathy patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) hypertension. Supplementing food L-methylfolate theoretically improve retinopathy, however, outcome these nutritional approaches has not been fully examined. A retrospective case review was done cases reversal on Ocufolin™ similar nonprescription multivitamin, Eyefolate™. In this study, they were administered (2.7 mg 3.0 mg, respectively) D3 (4500 IU each)....
To determine the refractive outcomes after 4-point scleral fixation of Akreos AO60 intraocular lens with Gore-Tex suture.This was a single referral center, multi-surgeon, retrospective consecutive case series. A total 63 eyes met inclusion criteria for having received surgical implantation suture from August 2014 to December 2018. Exclusion included all ocular pathology that precluded an accurate refraction, concurrent surgery, poor corrected pre-operative visual potential, among other...
To report visual acuity in patients undergoing pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) reoperations for complications of proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR).Retrospective case series.Diabetic reoperation with PPV between 2015 and 2018 at a university referral center.Patient charts were reviewed indication initial repeat PPV, baseline clinical characteristics including gender, age, lens status, pre- post-operative best-corrected acuity.Best-corrected last follow-up.Of 538 eyes (409 patients)...
