Head to head comparison of diagnostic performance of three non-mydriatic cameras for diabetic retinopathy screening with artificial intelligence.

Background: Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of blindness worldwide, affecting people with diabetes. The timely diagnosis and treatment of DR are essential in preventing vision loss. Non-mydriatic fundus cameras and artificial intelligence (AI) software have been shown to improve DR screening efficiency.

Intraosseous malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor at the frontal bone in a child: a rare cause of proptosis.

We report a nine-year-old male having malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) of the frontal bone, represented with a twelve-month history of ptosis and proptosis in his right eye and enlarged rapidly in the last three months. Except for slight numbness at his one-third of the right forehead, he had no neurological deficit. The patient's both eyes were having normal eye movements, and he had no visual acuity or field loss.

Pars plana vitrectomy with or without intraoperative 360° peripheral endolaser for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment treatment.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate whether intraoperative 360° prophylactic endolaser photocoagulation is necessary for the treatment of uncomplicated retinal detachment.

Methods: This prospective, randomized, comparative and interventional study includes 50 consecutive patients with primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) who were treated by pars plana vitrectomy. The patients were divided into two groups: in Group A endolaser applied to all existing breaks as well as a 360° laser retinopexy, while Group B received endolaser only to the retinal breaks.

Comparison of Efficacy and Safety of Loteprednol Etabonate 0.5% and Topical Dexamethasone 1% in Post-Vitrectomy Inflammation.

Purpose: To compare the efficacy and safety of postoperative topical loteprednol etabonate (LE) 0.5% with dexamethasone (DEX) 0.1% for the treatment of inflammation following pars plana vitrectomy (PPV).

A unique case of isolated sebaceous adenoma of the bulbar conjunctiva.

Our patient was a 34 year-old male who presented with a painless conjunctival mass that had developed 3 months before his first visit. On performing slit-lamp biomicroscopy, a lobulated pink-yellowish solid mobile mass was observed on the nasal bulbar conjunctival surface of his left eye. The tumor was excised, and histopathologic examination of the tumor revealed a sebaceous adenoma.

Comparison of intravitreal ranibizumab and bevacizumab treatment for retinopathy of prematurity.

Purpose: To compare the efficacy of intravitreal ranibizumab and bevacizumab treatment for type 1 retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).

Methods: 36 eyes of 20 patients with type 1 ROP who received anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) intravitreal injections between August 2011 and February 2013 were retrospectively evaluated. Fifteen eyes of 8 patients received 0.

The Expression of GDF-15 in the Human Vitreous in the Presence of Retinal Pathologies with an Inflammatory Component.

Purpose: The presence of growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15), a protein implicated in the regulation of the inflammatory response, was investigated in the vitreous of patients with vitreoretinal disorders.

Methods: Vitreous and plasma samples were collected from patients with idiopathic epiretinal membrane (IERM), macular hole (MH), rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD), nucleus drop (ND), or proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). GDF-15 concentrations were measured using ELISA.

Spectral-Domain OCT Analyses of Macular Changes After Ranibizumab Therapy for Type 1 Retinopathy of Prematurity.

Purpose: To investigate the clinical and macular spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) findings after intravitreal ranibizumab treatment for type 1 retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).

Methods: Eighteen eyes of 10 premature infants with type 1 ROP were retrospectively studied. All eyes were treated with intravitreal ranibizumab as monotherapy.

An uncommon ocular manifestation of Sweet syndrome: peripheral ulcerative keratitis and nodular scleritis.

Sweet syndrome (acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis) is characterized by fever, neutrophilic leukocytosis, and abrupt appearance of painful erythematous nodules and plaques, particularly on the face, neck, and limbs. In this study, we report a very rare case of Sweet syndrome in which the patient presented nodular scleritis and peripheral ulcerative keratitis during the dermatologically inactive period of the disease.

A novel mutation of sgk-1 gene in central serous chorioretinopathy.

Aim: To investigate the association of serum glucocorticoid kinase gene-1 (SGK-1) DNA variants with chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC).

Methods: We enrolled 32 eyes of 32 patients who were diagnosed with chronic CSC and composed 32 normal eyes as a control group. Peripheral blood was used for DNA extraction and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification.

Iatrogenic retinal breaks caused by infusion fluid during pars plana vitrectomy.

Objective: To describe a series of cases of iatrogenic retinal breaks (IRBs) caused by the infusion fluid flow of a 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) system.

Design: Retrospective case series.

Methods: During 25-gauge PPV, 4 cases had IRBs caused by infusion fluid flow.

Macular findings obtained by spectral domain optical coherence tomography in retinopathy of prematurity.

Purpose. To examine the macular findings obtained with spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD OCT) in infants with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Materials and Methods.

A case report of bilateral choroidal metastases of epithelial carcinoma of pancreas.

A 49-year-old woman with acute loss of vision in her left eye was examined in our clinic. Two months before arriving at out clinic, she was diagnosed with pancreatic endothelial carcinoma. Her visual acuities were 20/20 for the right and 20/200 for the left eye.

Is Smoking a Risk Factor in Ocular Behçet Disease?

Purpose: To investigate the association between smoking and prognosis of ocular Behçet disease.

Material/methods: Medical records of 202 patients with Behçet uveitis were collected retrospectively. Patients were assigned to two groups according to smoking habits.

Epidemiological and clinical features of paediatric open globe injuries in southwestern Turkey.

Aim: To evaluate the epidemiologic, anatomic, and clinical features of open globe injuries in children.

Methods: The medical files of patients under the age of 16 who had been operated for an open globe injury at Akdeniz University Hospital's Department of Ophthalmology were retrospectively evaluated.

Results: A total of 90 patients were evaluated in this study.

Deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty for the treatment of stromal corneal dystrophies.

Purpose: To report the perioperative complications and clinical outcomes after deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) using the big bubble technique in eyes with stromal corneal dystrophies.

Patients And Methods: Seventy-four eyes of 65 patients who underwent DALK for stromal corneal dystrophies were evaluated in this retrospective interventional case series study. Main outcome measures were intraoperative and postoperative complications, postoperative uncorrected visual acuity, best spectacle-corrected visual acuity, spherical equivalent refraction, and topographic astigmatism.
