Outcomes in eyes with retained lens fragments undergoing pars plana lensectomy and scleral-fixated intraocular lens insertion.

Purpose: To report the visual outcomes and complications in eyes with retained lens fragments (RLF) following cataract surgery undergoing pars plana lensectomy (PPL) and scleral-fixated intraocular lens insertion (SFIOL).

Methods: Patients with RLF who underwent pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), PPL, and SFIOL insertion from January 2015 to December 2022 were included. The visual acuity (VA) outcomes and complication rates were compared between those receiving sutured versus sutureless SFIOL insertion as well as those undergoing SFIOL insertion at the time of PPV and PPL versus those undergoing SFIOL insertion during a subsequent surgery.

Faricimab-Associated Retinal Vasculitis.

To report a case of retinal vasculitis after intravitreal faricimab-svoa injection. A case and its management were reviewed. A 77-year-old woman presented with a painless decrease in visual acuity (VA) to counting fingers after receiving an intravitreal faricimab-svoa injection for neovascular age-related macular degeneration.

Molecular insights into antimicrobial resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains: A potential zoonosis of goat origin.

Next day sentinel node biopsy for melanoma after lymphoscintigraphy using Tc-labelled nanocolloid does not adversely affect long-term outcomes.

Objective: Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy (SLNB) is an important management tool for early-stage melanoma. Different radiopharmaceuticals are used internationally to localise the sentinel node using lymphoscintigraphy (LSG) before surgery. Recent reports have suggested that a delayed interval between LSG and SLNB using Tc-labelled nanocolloid tracer has an adverse survival impact, but not with Tc-labelled antimony sulphide colloid.
