Aim: To investigate the effects of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and melatonin, which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, on potential 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-induced optic nerve damage in rats.
Methods: Twenty-four rats were categorized into four groups of six rats: healthy (HG), 5-FU (FUG), ATP+5-FU (AFU), and melatonin+5-FU (MFU). ATP (4 mg/kg) and melatonin (10 mg/kg) were administered intraperitoneally and orally, respectively.
Ocular Involvement in Patients with Brucellosis: A Single-Center Prospective Study.
Ocul Immunol Inflamm
February 2025
Article Synopsis
- The study explored how common eye issues are in patients with brucellosis and how well they responded to treatment.
- Out of 242 patients, 24.8% experienced eye problems, with conjunctivitis being the most frequent, followed by uveitis.
- Most patients showed improvement in their eye symptoms over time, highlighting the importance of early eye exams in brucellosis treatment.
Purpose: To investigate the changes in ocular optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings in the comorbidity of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and specific learning disorder (SLD).
Methods: This study included 40 individuals diagnosed as having ADHD along with comorbid SLD, 40 individuals diagnosed as having only ADHD, and 40 individuals with no psychiatric disorders. OCT assessments were performed on eyes of the participants to obtain retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness, ganglion cell complex (GCC) thickness, and macular thickness measurements.
Does MARPE therapy have effects on intracranial pressure? a clinical study.
BMC Oral Health
October 2022
Background: We aimed to evaluate possible intracranial pressure (ICP) changes caused by screw activations during active microimplant-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) therapy of post-pubertal individuals by measuring the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) under ultrasonography (US) guidance.
Methods: This study's participants comprised 15 patients (7 males, 8 females) with posterior crossbite and a mean age of 16.7 years (14.
Aim: To evaluate the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in idiopathic epiretinal membrane (IERM) patients, and their relations with visual acuity.
Method: Fifty-seven IERM and 51 control patients were included. All patients underwent comprehensive ophthalmological examination and complete blood count tests, and NLR and PLR values were calculated.
Article Synopsis
- Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) is a retinal disease with few treatment options for chronic cases, making research into new therapies important.
- A study on 19 patients undergoing subthreshold micropulse laser therapy showed significant improvement in visual acuity and reduced central retinal thickness after treatment.
- The results suggest that while this therapy is effective, its benefits are more pronounced when applied earlier in the disease process to avoid lasting retinal damage.
