To evaluate the additive effect of triamcinolone to bevacizumab in comparison standard macular laser photocoagulation versus management diabetic edema (DME).In a prospective, randomized clinical trial, 130 eyes 110 patients with type 2 diabetes DME were included. Eligible randomly assigned 1.25 mg intravitreal (42 eyes) (IVB group) or combination and acetonide (41 (IVB+IVT (47 (MPC). Central thickness (CMT) visual acuity changes at week 6 16 assessed.The mean age was 57 -/+7 years. Patients...
To compare medical students' learning uptake and understanding of vitreoretinal surgeries by watching either 2D or 3D video recordings.Three procedures (tractional retinal detachment, exposed scleral buckle removal, four-point fixation an intraocular lens [TSS]) were recorded simultaneously with a conventional recorder for two-dimensional viewing VERION HD system using Sony HVO-1000MD three-dimensional viewing. Two videos each surgery, one the other 3D, edited to have same content side side....
IMPORTANCEThe presence of choroidal hyperreflective foci in Stargardt disease is, to our knowledge, a potentially new finding.Evaluation these may aid better understanding the process.OBJECTIVES To report spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) images from eyes with and investigate relationship between number severity.DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Twenty-six 13 patients clinical diagnosis were evaluated retrospective case series.Patient data collected January 1, 2009,...
Short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are produced by gut microbiota as fermentation products of digestion-resistant oligosaccharides and fibers. Their primary roles functioning major energy sources for colon cells assisting in homeostasis immunomodulation. Recent evidence suggests that they affect various organs both at cellular molecular levels, regulate functions distance sites including gene expression, cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis inflammation. In this study, we examined...
To describe the clinical spectrum and severity of eye injuries sustained during Persian Wednesday Eve Festival "Charshanbe-Soori" to identify fireworks devices involved.Prospectively, consecutive patients treated for fireworks-related in emergency room at Farabi Eye Hospital, Tehran, over 3 days around occasion 2000, 2001, 2002 were studied.Four hundred thirty-seven cases with an age range 2-74 (median 17; SD 11.1) years studied: 84.6% male; 18.6% bilateral; 79.9% injured bystanders or...
Abstract Angiogenesis is required for tissue repair; but abnormal angiogenesis or neovascularization (NV) causes diseases in the eye. The avascular status cornea a prerequisite corneal clarity and thought to be maintained by equilibrium between proangiogenic antiangiogenic factors that controls proliferation migration of vascular endothelial cells (ECs) sprouting from pericorneal plexus. VEGF most important intrinsic factor angiogenesis; anti-VEGF therapies are available treating ocular NV....
To determine whether combined intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) and triamcinolone (IVT) is more effective than IVB alone in neovascular age-related macular degeneration.This was a prospective, randomized clinical trial performed at two centers. Eligible eyes were assigned randomly to one of the study arms. In group, 3 consecutive injections 1.25 mg given 6 weeks apart, while IVB/IVT first triple with 2 IVB. A fourth injected demonstrating active choroidal neovascularization Week 24.Sixty 55...
The aim of this study was to identify the genetic basis a chorioretinal dystrophy with high myopia unknown origin in child consanguineous marriage. proband and ten family members Iranian ancestry participated study. Linkage analysis carried out DNA samples her parents by using Human SNP Array 6.0. Whole exome sequencing (WES) performed patients' DNA. Specific sequence alterations within homozygous regions identified whole were verified Sanger sequencing. Upon analysis, novel frameshift...
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to present a patient with atypical corneoconjunctival lesions as result transconjunctival heroin abuse. Methods: authors conducted prospective 8-month follow up 16-year-old girl who presented bilateral lesions. Results: After period close observation, running diagnostic tests, and conservative treatment, the nature disease suspected. Further discussion patient's family her final confession revealed that she using through conjunctiva. Conclusion:...
To report ocular symptoms, funduscopic findings and demographic distribution of toxoplasmosis in IranIn this cross-sectional study, a total 40 patients with (24 female, 16 male) were enrolled. The symptoms studied.The patients' age was the range 13-52 most common 19 years old. Twenty-four female (60.0%). presenting sign visual loss. There anterior chamber (AC) inflammation 23 (57.5%). Vitritis presented 36 (90.0%). In 35 (87.5%), retinal lesion central. peripheral lesion, 3 (60.0%) had...
To compare the outcomes of photodynamic therapy (PDT) combined with intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) versus without triamcinolone (IVT) in neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD).Eighty-four eyes active CNV secondary to AMD no prior treatment were enrolled and followed for 1-year. Eligible randomly assigned either PDT/IVB or PDT/IVB/IVT. The main outcome measure was change best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA).Mean patient age 71 ± 9 years. BCVA changes from baseline statistically...
Ocular malignancies are rare, with many cancers of the eye being result metastases, most common which from primary tumours breast, lung and gastrointestinal tract. Diagnosis is often made at a late stage in disease course, leading to poorer outcomes. Disease-directed therapy presence ocular metastases varies based on tumour patient performance status but generally involves systemic treatment, either chemotherapy or involved-field radiation. We herein present an interesting case malignancy...
