Three-piece intraocular lens in the sulcus with optic capture in patients with mild to moderate zonular weakness in exfoliation.

Purpose: To study the use of sulcus placement of a 3-piece intraocular lens (IOL) with optic capture in patients with exfoliation with zonular weakness.

Methods: Data on all exfoliation patients who had direct or indirect evidence of zonular weakness and had a 3-piece IOL implanted in the sulcus with optic capture over a 5-year period between January 2017 and January 2022 were included in this retrospective case series.

Results: The study comprised of 35 eyes of 35 patients.

Gender-Based Vegetarian and Nonvegetarian Dietary Impact on Cardiac Autonomic Function of Heart Rate Variability.

Cardiovascular disease is one among the major mortality threats throughout the world. Autonomic activity of the nervous system can be examined by heart rate variability (HRV) analysis. Association of sympathetic and parasympathetic activities is directly related to HRV modulation.

Clinical relevance of cagA and and association with mucosal findings in -infected individuals from Chennai, South India.

Helicobacter pylori is associated with a spectrum of severe gastrointestinal conditions. In this study, an attempt was made to correlate endoscopic mucosal patterns with H. pylori infection and examine the pathogenic potential of the strains.

Pancreas divisum and choledochal cyst.

Pancreas divisum (PD) is the most common congenital variant of the pancreas, affecting 5% to 14% of the population. The ventral duct only drains the ventral pancreas through the major papilla, whereas the majority of the pancreas drains via the dorsal duct through the minor papilla. We report the case of a 21-year-old woman with recurrent acute pancreatitis who presented with the rare finding of choledochal cyst and pancreas divisum (PD).

Synthesis, characterization and pharmacological activities of 5,6,11,12-tetrahydroindolo[2,3-alpha]carbazole derivatives.

A series of new 5,6,11,12-tetrahydroindolo[2,3-alpha]carbazole derivatives (3a-h) was synthesized. Treatment of 8-methyl-1-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrocarbazole (1a) with phenylhydrazine hydrochloride in ethanol furnished the title compound (3a) in poor yield along with 8-methyl-1-phenylhydrazono-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrocarbazole (2a). Better yields were obtained when 1a-h were treated with phenylhydrazine in glacial acetic acid.
