Primary and residual cardiometabolic risk factors among young adults in a Russian city.

Background: Cardiovascular diseases are a leading cause of mortality and a significant contributor to temporary and permanent disabilities worldwide. This study aimed to investigate the burden of primary and residual cardiometabolic risk factors in a sample of young adults in the Russian city of Kazan.

Methods: This case-control study used the Cardiometabolic Disease Staging (CMDS) classification system, which has been validated in several countries.

[Effects of laser operations in the iris-lens diaphragm area on the thickness of the macular region and peripapillary nerve fiber layer].

Unlabelled: All methods of laser radiation therapy currently used in clinical practice are positioned as safe in terms of possible negative effects on the eye and surrounding tissues.

Purpose: To assess possible changes in the macular region of the retina and thickness of the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) according to the results of a dynamic study of OCT parameters after laser operations in the iris-lens diaphragm area.

Material And Methods: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) was performed on 34 pseudophakic patients (43 eyes) with clinical signs of secondary cataract with best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of at least 0.

[Retinal changes after laser interventions on anterior segment of the eyeball].

Laser surgery of the cornea, iris, angle of the anterior chamber and other parts of anterior segment of the eye sees wide application in clinical practice. The adverse effects it can cause in the anterior segment are well known and understood. At the same time, changes the treatment method can cause in the posterior segment of the eye - primarily, in macular area of the cornea, which is of great importance, have not been studied sufficiently.

[Characteristics of vitreous structure in rhegmatogenous hyaloid membrane detachment].

Special characteristics of volumetric acoustic digital images of different vitreous and hyaloid membrane changes were studied based on the analysis of results of ultrasound spatial examination of young healthy adults (30 patients) and patients with posterior hyaloid membrane detachment (329 patients). Morphological features of vitreous are presented considering topography and its acoustical structure. Spatial characteristics of planar and volumetric images are determined, special acoustic signs are revealed for normal vitreous and in different changes of posterior hyaloid membrane.

[Morphological and functional features of vitreous].

The structure of vitreous is discussed in the article. Its morphologic characteristics are described with consideration of topography and structural features. General vitreous anatomy and its distinct compartments are highlighted.
