Purpose: To describe the rate, clinical/microbiological characteristics, and outcomes of infectious keratitis in eyes with limbal stem cell deficiency after ocular surface stem cell transplantation (OSST).
Methods: In this retrospective chart review of 278 eyes that underwent OSST between January 2006 and December 2016, eyes treated for previous infectious keratitis (bacterial, fungal, or viral) were included. Demographics, risk factors, course, microbiological characteristics, and outcomes were assessed.
Purpose: To report the clinical features, management, and outcomes of patients with ocular surface damage secondary to Roman candle explosion accidents.
Methods: Retrospective, noncomparative, interventional case series of 11 patients with Roman candle explosion-related ocular surface injuries referred to the Cincinnati Eye Institute between 2007 and 2016.
Results: Eleven patients (10 male, 1 female, mean age 22.
Purpose: To report a case of extensive Fuchs superficial marginal keratitis managed with annular lamellar keratoplasty.
Methods: Interventional case report.
Results: A 72-year-old man presented with 20/80 best-corrected visual acuity in his left eye and demonstrated 360-degree peripheral deep immune stromal keratitis and pseudopterygia with peripheral stromal thinning.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to report the clinical features and management of patients with ocular surface damage during methamphetamine production accidents.
Methods: This is a retrospective noncomparative interventional case series of 5 patients with methamphetamine production-related ocular injuries referred to the Cincinnati Eye Institute between 1999 and 2014.
Results: Four of 5 cases were white young men with severe bilateral ocular injury and extremely poor vision.
Article Synopsis
- In simultaneous hermaphrodites like Lymnaea stagnalis, males and females may experience sexual conflict due to differing reproductive strategies, leading to competition over mating roles.
- The study found that as Lymnaea age, their copulation frequency declines, and younger snails are more likely to take on the male role regardless of their partner's age, while older snails predominantly act as females.
- Interestingly, the preference for mating roles is influenced by age rather than size, and the tendency to copulate as male correlates with nerve activity in the prostate gland, not its physical size.
