Summary Belantamab mafodotin, an immuno‐conjugate targeting B‐cell maturation antigen, showed single‐agent activity in phase 1 and 2 studies, was recently approved for heavily pretreated relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) patients. Real‐world data long‐term follow‐up are scarce. We conducted a multisite retrospective study aimed to assess safety efficacy of belantamab mafodotin monotherapy administered via the GSK expanded access compassionate care programme. One‐hundred six RRMM...
PURPOSE: To compare the visual and refractive results obtained after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in patients who underwent one of three different epithelial removal techniques. METHODS: The authors reviewed medical files consecutive eyes with myopia myopic astigmatism that were treated during a 10-year period by mechanical PRK, alcohol-assisted or transepithelial PRK (in phototherapeutic mode), observed for more than 1 year. RESULTS: A total 3,417 (3,417 eyes) included this study. At 3...
Purpose: The aim of the present study was to evaluate frequency steroid-induced intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation and/or glaucoma in patients with keratoconus (KCN) compared Fuchs endothelial dystrophy after penetrating keratoplasty (PK). Methods: A retrospective review medical records KCN or dystrophy, who underwent PK and were examined on Cornea Service, Wills Eye Institute, performed. IOP measurements recorded preoperatively; postoperative first month maximal between 1 3 months, 4 6 7...
Purpose. To analyze the risk factors associated with a series of ectasia cases following photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and all published cases. Methods. In retrospective study on post-PRK patients, 9 eyes 7 patients were included, in addition to 20 13 from literature. Risk was calculated using score system (ERSS) for laser situ keratomileusis (LASIK) patients. The percent tissue altered (PTA) also evaluated. Results. ERSS scoring zero age, RSB, spherical equivalent found 66%, 86%, 86%...
To evaluate the agreement in biometry measurements and intraocular lens (IOL) power calculations between 2 integrated swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) tomography/biometry devices: Eyestar 900 Anterion.Tel Aviv Medical Center, Tel Aviv, Israel.Retrospective comparative study.113 eyes of 66 consecutive patients who were evaluated prior to cataract surgery using both devices on same visit included. Measurements axial length, anterior posterior keratometry, chamber depth,...
Airway management is the first step in resuscitation. The extraordinary conditions mass casualty situations impose special difficulties airway management, even for experienced caregivers. authors evaluated whether wearing surgical attire or antichemical protective gear made any difference anesthetists' success of control with either an endotracheal tube a laryngeal mask airway.Fifteen anesthetists 2-5 yr residency and full intubated inserted masks 60 anesthetized patients. study was...
Purpose To describe the antibacterial activity of treatment with riboflavin and ultraviolet A light (UVA) in cases severe infectious keratitis. Methods retrospective analysis was performed an interventional case series which 6 eyes patients keratitis, all whom were refractive to multidrug conventional therapy, treated riboflavin/UVA. The procedure conducted according standardized protocol corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) for keratoconus. Best spectacle-corrected visual acuity clinical...
Background and Purpose Silent brain infarctions (SBI) are common findings in advanced age, but their relationship to dementia is still uncertain. The present study was designed evaluate whether SBI predict the development of after first clinical ischemic stroke. Methods We blindly studied admission CT scans 175 consecutive nondemented patients presenting with stroke that clinically episode. were defined as evidence infarcts not compatible acute event. subsequently followed for mental state 5...
To evaluate the safety and complication rates of excimer laser photorefractive keratectomy (PRK).Assutah Laser Center, Tel-Aviv, Israel.This retrospective study evaluated rate after PRK in 825 consecutive patients who had for myopia a follow-up at least 12 months.At months postoperatively, 4.0% suffered from overcorrection 8.6% undercorrection. Induced astigmatism developed 1.4% all operated eyes. Three percent haze, 3.6% reported glare or halos. Twenty-three eyes (2.7%) lost one line more...
To evaluate the prevalence of different topographic patterns in refractive surgery candidates and to estimate extent candidate rejection based on topography alone.We performed a retrospective evaluation videokeratographies previously unoperated candidates. The defined their corneas indices computed by videokeratographer software were registered. data evaluated SPSS/PC statistical software.One hundred electronic records evaluated. included 41 women 59 men whose average age was 32 years (range...
To evaluate the factors influencing long-term survival rate (ie, probability of recurrence-free eye over time) after pterygium excision with conjunctival autograft.A retrospective cohort study was performed. All patients who underwent and autograft at a single institution by same surgeon during years from 1997 to 2008 were included. Preoperative postoperative patient data collected. The invited for follow-up examinations performed surgeon, recurrence analyzed using statistics.There 20...
Purpose: Post-Descemet stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK) patients are prone for intraocular pressure (IOP) elevations and glaucoma. Corneal characteristics influence various IOP measuring devices in ways. The aim of this study was to evaluate the agreement between four different devices: Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT), I-care pro, Tonopen XL, Schiotz tonometr who underwent DSEK. Methods: This a prospective comparative using convenience cohort post-DSEK with compact grafts....
<b><i>Background/Aims:</i></b> Bevacizumab (Avastin), an anti-vascular endothelial growth factor drug, has been successfully used in the recent years to treat ocular pathologies, mostly by intravitreal administration. The aim of current study was assess off-label topical use high-dose bevacizumab for treatment corneal neovascularization. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Seventeen eyes 17 patients with neovascularization secondary various pathologies were...
Although there has been great interest in laser heating for bonding of surgical incisions tissues, it not gained wide acceptance by surgeons. We argue that the main obstacle lack temperature control, which may lead to a weak bonding. previously developed system based on two infrared transmitting AgBrCl fibers, one and control. In view inherent limitations such systems observed many animal experiments, we an improved single fiber. Besides decreased dimensions, this offers advantages over...
Early and accurate detection of keratoconus progression is particularly important for the prudent, cost-effective use corneal cross-linking judicious timing clinical follow-up visits. The aim this study was to verify whether a could be predicted based on two prior tomography measurements accuracy system when labelling eye as stable or suspect progressive. Data from 743 patients measured by Pentacam (Oculus, Wetzlar, Germany) were available, they filtered preprocessed data quality needs. time...
