Purpose: To compare the anatomical, morphological, and functional outcomes of the conventional internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling versus temporal inverted ILM flap technique for large full-thickness macular holes (FTMHs).
Methods: Sixty eyes of 60 patients with a minimum base diameter >600 μm were included in this retrospective interventional study. Patients were divided into conventional ILM peeling (Group 1) and temporal inverted ILM flap (Group 2) groups.
Objectives: Coeliac disease is an autoimmune intestinal disease that develops with permanent intolerance to gluten and similar cereal proteins. It can damage to many tissues, including myocardium, by autoimmune mechanisms. In our study, we aimed to investigate the effect of coeliac disease on cardiac electrical activity by comparing the Tp-e interval and Qt dispersion values of coeliac patients with healthy children.

For this purpose, immature female Sprague-Dawley rats (25days old, 30-40g) were randomly divided into five groups (control, sham, OHSS model, short-term kisspeptin-54 administered OHSS model and long-term kisspeptin-54 administered OHSS model). Serum LH and FSH levels were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

Materials And Methods: Ninety-three eyes with potential diagnostic findings for PCV were prospectively evaluated. Patients with multiple retinal pigment epithelial detachment (RPED), sharp RPED peak, RPED notch, hyporeflective lumen representing polyps, double-layer sign and the presence of hyperreflective intraretinal hard exudate were considered as PCV in SD-OCT.
: To assess the effectiveness of subconjunctival bevacizumab (SB) injection every 2 weeks (biweekly) for diabetic macular edema (DME).: In this prospective, non-randomized study; patients with clinically significant DME, who had central macular thickness (CMT) >300 µm, were included. They received three consecutive subconjunctival injections of 0.

A review was carried out of the charts of 97 eyes that received pro re nata (PRN) intravitreal ranibizumab (IR) 0.5 mg treatment for DME.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFPurpose: To assess and compare the efficacy over 6 months of intravitreal ranibizumab (IR), aflibercept (IA) and dexamethasone implant (IDI) in eyes with macular edema (ME) secondary to non-ischemic central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO).
Methods: This is a retrospective single-center study. Patients who received pro re nata treatment of IR 0.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of a single intravitreal dexamethasone implant (IDI) over 6 months in eyes with chronic diabetic macular edema (DME) that were resistant to intravitreal ranibizumab (IR) treatment.
Methods: This retrospective study was conducted at the Ondokuz Mayis University Hospital, Samsun, Turkey. Efficacy outcomes were considered as the change from baseline in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central macular thickness (CMT).
To describe a novel technique for implantation of intraocular lens in the absence of capsular support using a ciliary sulcus guide. Based on the anatomic knowledge of the ciliary sulcus and the sclera, a new instrument was developed to pierce the needle safely through the ciliary sulcus and sclera. While the foldable lens is stored inside the cartridge, the leading haptic is sutured with a cow-hitch knot.

Aim Of Study: With an ab-interno technique of transscleral suturing of current one-piece posterior chamber intraocular lenses (PC IOLs) by injector implantation in the absence of capsular support, we aimed to demonstrate the possibility of the implantation of one-piece acrylic PC IOLs that might be produced in the future for only scleral fixation through small clear corneal incision.
Materials And Methods: Case report and literature review.
Results: This procedure has been performed in eight aphakic eyes with four different types of IOLs.

Purpose: It is aimed to evaluate the technical feasibility, safety, outcome, and incidence of complications after clear corneal phacoemulsification with foldable intraocular lens implantation (IOL) and triamcinolone assisted pars plana vitrectomy in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy.
Methods: The results of combined phacoemulsification, in the capsular bag foldable intraocular lens implantation and triamcinolone assisted pars plana vitrectomy in 75 eyes of 72 patients, were retrospectively evaluated. Surgery was performed using general anesthesia in 9 cases, and monitored retrobulbar block in 66 cases.
Purpose: To evaluate blood flow parameters in the ophthalmic artery, in the posterior ciliary arteries and in the central retinal artery in eyes with primary open-angle glaucoma.
Methods: Hemodynamic parameters were evaluated by color Doppler imaging in 48 patients with primary open-angle glaucoma and 42 age-matched normal control subjects. Peak systolic velocity (Pv), end-diastolic velocity (Ev), and resistive index (RI) were calculated in the central retinal artery, short posterior ciliary arteries and the ophthalmic artery.
Purpose: Diabetic retinopathy is the most common complication of diabetes mellitus. No single predisposing factor has been identified, and genetic factors may play a role in the development of severe retinopathy. In this study, we investigated the association between diabetic retinopathy and HLA antigens in type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Patients And Methods: Twenty-five selected detachments with a single break or a group of breaks close together were treated with a temporary parabulbar balloon. Adhesion was obtained with transconjunctival cryopexy and argon laser photocoagulation.
Purpose: The aims of this prospective study were to evaluate the contribution of Tc-99m methylene diphosphonate (MDP), Tc-99m human immune globulin (HIG), and Tc-99m white blood cell (WBC) to the diagnosis of osteomyelitis in the diabetic foot and to evaluate the surgical or medical therapy with Tc-99m HIG and Tc-99m WBC scans.
Methods: Twenty patients (15 men, 5 women) with suspected pedal osteomyelitis were included in the study. All patients had type II diabetics.
