Purpose: We aimed to compare the local effects of intracameral cefuroxime diluted in normal saline (SF groups) against those of cefuroxime in balanced salt solution (BSS group) on the cornea of rabbits.
Materials And Methods: Fourteen New Zealand albino rabbits were randomised into two groups. The right eyes of the rabbits in the SF group I were injected intracamerally with 1 mg cefuroxime diluted with 0.
Purpose: To investigate the longitudinal changes in refractive errors in preterm children with and without retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in the first 6 years of life.
Methods: We included 226 preterm children with a gestational age of ≤34 weeks: 222 eyes with no ROP, 73 eyes with mild ROP and 145 eyes with severe ROP. Longitudinal cycloplegic refraction data were collected initially and yearly thereafter until 6 years of age.
Purpose: To compare the visual outcomes of primary and secondary intraocular lens (IOL) implantations and to identify the risk factors for the development of strabismus in patients with pediatric cataract.
Methods: The records of the pediatric patients who had undergone cataract surgery between January 1999 and November 2014 were reviewed retrospectively. The results of the cases with cataract extraction with primary IOL implantation (primary group) and cases with secondary IOL implantation (secondary group) were compared and the risk factors for the development of strabismus were investigated.
Purpose: To analyze the retinal effects of the intravitreally administered vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitors (aflibercept, bevacizumab and ranibizumab) in newborn rabbits.
Methods: Right eyes of 28 two-week-old New Zealand albino rabbits comprised the study population. Four eyes received intravitreal injection of 0.
Purpose: To evaluate the effect of intravitreal azithromycin on the retina in a newborn rabbit model.
Methods: Twelve, two-week old New Zealand albino rabbits were divided into two groups (six in each). The right eyes of six rabbits received 0.
Ocular, Neurologic and Systemic Findings of the Cases with Optic Nerve Hypoplasia.
Open Ophthalmol J
March 2016
Aim: To describe the associated ocular, neurologic, and systemic findings in a population of children with optic nerve hypoplasia (ONH) and to evaluate the relationship between ocular signs and neurologic findings.
Method: A retrospective chart review of 53 patients with the diagnosis of ONH seen between December 1998 and September 2012 was performed. All neurodevelopmental anomalies, neuroradiologic findings, endocrinologic and systemic findings were recorded.
Purpose: To determine the effect(s) of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), VEGF receptor-2 (VEGFR-2), hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), and HGF receptor (c-Met) polymorphisms on progression/regression of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in premature infants.
Materials And Methods: This study comprised both a prospective analysis and a clinically relevant laboratory investigation. Enrolled were 123 Turkish preterm infants--gestational age (GA), ≤34 weeks; birth weight (BW), ≤1500 g--from a single tertiary care center.
Microdebrider assisted endoscopic marsupialization of congenital intranasal nasolacrimal duct cysts.
Int J Pediatr Otorhinolaryngol
April 2012
Objective: To provide information on the clinical characteristics and management of an uncommon congenital nasolacrimal system anomaly, intranasal nasolacrimal duct cyst.
Methods: Three patients treated with microdebrider assisted endoscopic marsupialization for intranasal nasolacrimal duct cysts were included in this study. Management and outcomes are compared to previous reports in the literature.
