Various medical and surgical management options have been used, such as topical steroids, cycloplegics, antiglaucoma medications, antibiotics, Descemet's membrane reposition, and pre-Descematic sutures, for the management of acute hydrops, but have shown limited benefit. We hereby describe a novel technique of appositional continuous overlay sutures along with air tamponade for surgical management of corneal edema following large ACH.

Methods: Fifty-two eyes of 52 patients who underwent pterygium excision combined with autologous conjunctival graft (CAG) using releasable suture were included in this prospective interventional study. The patients were randomized into two groups of 26 patients each.
Purpose: To report on the microbiological profile and antibiotic sensitivity patterns of infectious keratitis at a tertiary center in central India.
Methods: The suspected case of severe keratitis underwent microbiological culture and identification using the VITEK 2 technique. Antibiotic susceptibility for different sensitivity and resistance patterns was analyzed.
The present paper reports the occurrence of female Acanthogryllus asiaticus Gorochov, 1990 from India and updates the description of Depressogryllus depressiceps (Ebner, 1935); besides, the description of Scapsipedus raychaudhurii Bhowmik, 1967, now classified into the genus Velarifictorus Randell, 1964 [Velarifictorus raychaudhurii (Bhowmik, 1967)] has been revised. Suitable plates with close-up details of the genitalia have been presented in support of the descriptions.

Methods: A 66-year-old pseudophakic male presented with deep stromal corneal infiltrates, extending from 2 to 4 o'clock in the vicinity of the limbus of the left eye, 3 months after phacoemulsification. The infiltrates failed to respond to empirical topical medications, anterior chamber wash and intrastromal injection.
The present paper deals with the revision in the generic name of the phalangopsid cricket, Luzaropsis mjobergi Chopard (1926) as Paraluzaropsis, based on significant differences in certain morphological and the male genitalia characters. The male of Paraluzaropsis mjobergi (Chopard) has been described for the first time with suitable plates and line diagrams that was collected from South India. A key to the existing genera of the tribe Luzaropsini has been presented.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of releasable single suture (RS) for conjunctival autograft (CAG) and to compare it with sutureless gluefree (SG) technique in pterygium surgery.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective comparative study on patients with primary pterygium who underwent CAG. In 150 patients, CAG was additionally secured by a single 10-0 nylon releasable suture (RS) which was released on the first postoperative day.
Purpose: To report a case of central retinal artery occlusion after Descemet membrane reposition by intracameral air.
Methods: An otherwise healthy 60-year-old woman presented with white mature cataract in her left eye. Ocular exam of both eyes was within normal limits.
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of a releasable single suture for pterygium excision with a conjunctival autograft (CAG).
Methods: Retrospective case series at a tertiary eye care center in central India was conducted. Medical records of 150 patients, who underwent primary pterygium excision with a CAG secured by a single releasable 10-0 nylon suture in the last year were reviewed.
The aim of the study was to develop and evaluate a self--emulsifying drug delivery system (SEDDS) formulation to improve solubility and dissolution and to enhance systemic exposure of a BCS class II anthelmetic drug, albendazole (ABZ). In the present study, solubility of ABZ was determined in various oils, surfactants and co-surfactants to identify the microemulsion components. Pseudoternary phase diagrams were plotted to identify the microemulsification existence area.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA highly sensitive and specific LC-MS/MS-ESI method was developed for simultaneous quantification of albenadazole (ABZ) and ricobendazole (RBZ) in rat plasma (50 μL) using phenacetin as an internal standard (IS). Simple protein precipitation was used to extract ABZ and RBZ from rat plasma. The chromatographic resolution of ABZ, RBZ and IS was achieved with a mobile phase consisting of 5 m m ammonium acetate (pH 6) and acetonitrile (20:80, v/v) at a flow rate of 1 mL/min on a Chromolith RP-18e column.
