Purpose: There is no standardized and universally accepted surgical treatment for thoracic and lumbar hyperkyphosis in children. A surgical treatment algorithm was developed to aid in the choice of the appropriate corrective technique.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted of patients younger than 18 years who underwent primary correction surgery and posterior fusion for thoracic and lumbar hyperkyphosis.
Purpose: To perform a meta-analysis and systematic review to compare the efficacy and complications of micropulse laser trabeculoplasty (MLT) and selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) in adult patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG) and ocular hypertension (OHT).
Methods: We performed a systematic review utilizing PubMed, Embase, and Scopus, on April 8, 2024. Meta-analyses were performed for the mean change in intraocular pressure (IOP) at one-month, six-month, and one-year follow-up visits, rate of IOP spikes (>5 mmHg increase from the pre-procedure baseline IOP), rate of treatment failure (<20% or <3 mmHg reduction in IOP or requiring additional medications or procedures), and mean change in number of medications.
Article Synopsis
- Wastewater surveillance can effectively monitor and detect infectious agents in recreational waters, highlighting its importance in public health management.
- The study conducted in Guayas and Santa Elena provinces, Ecuador, found significant levels of fecal indicator bacteria and SARS-CoV-2 RNA, particularly during varying seasons and locations.
- Results indicate strong correlations between E. coli, thermotolerant coliforms, and SARS-CoV-2, emphasizing the need for local governments to take corrective actions to reduce contamination risks.
Prcis: This systematic review and meta-analysis found that 360-degree selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) is significantly more effective than 180-degree SLT at reducing intraocular pressure at 1-month and 1-year follow-ups without increased serious adverse event risk.
Purpose: To determine the efficacy of 180- versus 360-degree selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) in adults with open angle glaucoma (OAG) and ocular hypertension (OHT).
Methods: A systematic review was performed using PubMed, Embase, and Scopus databases, from 1995 to December 30, 2023, for studies comparing 180 and 360-degree SLT in adults with OAG and OHT (PROSPERO ID: CRD42024497832).
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the utility of steady state pattern electroretinogram (ss-PERG) in detecting retinal ganglion cell (RGC) dysfunction in glaucoma suspects (GS) who had normal 24-2 Humphrey Visual Fields (HFA).
Materials And Methods: This was a prospective cohort study of GS patients who were identified based on optic disc appearance with normal HFAs. Patients received a complete eye examination, standard automated perimetry (SAP), optical coherence tomography (OCT), and ss-PERG measurements.
