In Brief Purpose: To evaluate choroidal vascularity index (CVI) in eyes with central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) using an image binarization tool on enhanced depth imaging spectral domain optical coherence tomography scans. Methods: this retrospective cohort study, scans of both patients CSC were taken at baseline; they segmented and compared fellow without as well age-matched healthy subjects. Subfoveal area (1,500 μm) was into luminal stromal binarization. Choroidal defined the...
The aim was to determine the proportions and correlates of essential hypertension among children in a tertiary pediatric clinic. We evaluated 423 consecutive collected demographic clinical history by retrospective chart review. identified 275 (65%) hypertensive (blood pressure >95th percentile per “Fourth Report on Diagnosis, Evaluation, Treatment High Blood Pressure Children Adolescents”) from referred clinic for elevated blood pressure. remainder patients had normotension (11%), white coat...
Purpose: To evaluate the early real-world clinical outcomes regarding safety and efficacy after administration of a ranibizumab biosimilar (Ranieyes). Methods: This multicenter retrospective uncontrolled observational study incorporated data from 7 centers in India. All patients were treated with at least 1 intravitreal injection 0.5 mg between July 2022 2023 for various indications. Results: A total 474 injections given 268 eyes 254 patients. Indications diabetic macular edema (DME) (n =...
In Brief Purpose: To assess the outcomes of intravitreal administration methotrexate in uveitis. Methods: Multicenter, retrospective interventional case series patients with noninfectious Thirty-eight eyes 30 were enrolled, including a total 54 injections at dose 400 µg 0.1 mL. The primary outcome measure was visual acuity. Secondary measures included control intraocular inflammation and cystoid macular edema, time to relapse, development adverse events, levels systemic corticosteroid...
Purpose: To standardize a nomenclature system for defining clinical phenotypes, and outcome measures reporting research data in patients with ocular tuberculosis (OTB).Methods: Uveitis experts initially administered further deliberated the survey an open meeting to determine propose preferred terms related OTB, describing phenotypes treatment outcomes.Results: The group of reached consensus on terming uveitis attributable (TB) as tubercular uveitis. working introduced SUN-compatible that...
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravitreal sirolimus in treatment noninfectious uveitis (NIU) posterior segment (i.e., posterior, intermediate, or panuveitis).Phase III, randomized, double-masked, active-controlled, 6-month study with sirolimus.Adults active NIU (intermediate, panuveitis), defined as a vitreous haze (VH) score >1+. Subjects discontinued medications before baseline, except for systemic corticosteroids, which were allowed only those already receiving them at baseline...
<h3>Background/aims</h3> To compare the functional and anatomic outcomes of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with juxtapapillary laser photocoagulation (JLP) versus without JLP in optic disc pit maculopathy. <h3>Methods</h3> This was a multicentre, retrospective study 46 consecutive patients maculopathy presenting at tertiary eye centres between 1992 2012. Indications for surgery included distorted or decreased vision. Surgical intervention PPV, posterior vitreous detachment, gas tamponade....
Fluorescein and indocyanine green (ICG) angiography are both useful in the diagnosis treatment of many retinal diseases. In some cases, tests must be performed for treatment; however, performing is time-consuming may require multiple injections.We designed a compact digital confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope to perform true simultaneous fluorescein ICG angiography. We report our experience using instrument 169 angiograms 117 patients.There were no unexpected adverse effects from mixing...
Purpose To report six patients with endogenous endophthalmitis as a complication of COVID-19 infection.
<h3>Objective</h3> To evaluate and compare the risks benefits of autologous serum as an adjuvant therapy in macular hole surgery for stage 3 or 4 holes. <h3>Methods</h3> Comparison 2 consecutive (nonrandomized) cohorts using standardized methods determination size surgical procedures, same study surgeons. The cohort consisted 106 eyes adjuvant, no 58 without adjuvants. primary end point was closure determined by 6-month fundus photographs. Secondary points included number types postoperative...
Purpose To analyse the pooled safety data of intravitreal ziv-aflibercept (IVZ) therapy for various retinal conditions. Methods This was a retrospective, observational study which included patients from 14 participating centres who received IVZ. The medical records IVZ March 2015 through October 2017 were evaluated. Patient demographics and ocular details compiled. Ocular systemic adverse events that occurred within 1 month injections recorded defined as either procedure-related or...
To evaluate medium and large choroidal vessel layer thickness (MCVT LCVT, respectively) in eyes with acute chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) comparison age-matched controls.The study included 96 of patients CSC, including 53 43 30 normal subjects. Manual measurements subfoveal (SFCT), MCVT, LCVT at 750 μm nasal temporal to the fovea locations were made on enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT) macula all subjects using ImageJ software (National Institutes...
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravitreal sirolimus in management noninfectious uveitis posterior segment (NIU-PS).Combined analysis 2 phase 3, randomized, double-masked, multinational, 6-month studies.Adults with active NIU-PS (intermediate uveitis, or panuveitis; defined as vitreous haze [VH] ≥1.5+ on modified Standardization Uveitis Nomenclature scale).Patients were randomized 1:1:1 to receive 44 μg (n = 208), 440 880 177) days 1, 60, 120. Patients discontinued medications for...
The present study aimed to determine the efficacy and safety of pro re nata (PRN) intravitreal brolucizumab therapy for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) without a loading dose in real-world setting. PROBE (Pro Re Nata Brolucizumab Exudative AMD) is retrospective, observational, multicentric that included 27 treatment-naïve patients (27 eyes) with AMD who received PRN treatment interval being at least 8 weeks, should need second consecutive injection arise. primary outcome...
