Purpose: To demonstrate the regenerative effects of Plasma membrane rich in growth factors (PRGFm) as an adjuvant in the surgical treatment of Full-thickness macular holes (FTMH) associated with MacTel type 2 (MacTel).
Methods: Observational study of a consecutive case series. Type 2 MacTel patients with FTMH.
Article Synopsis
- - The report discusses a patient who had an unexpected benign intraretinal tumor discovered after suffering an ischemic stroke related to mitral valve disease, emphasizing the need to differentiate it from serious conditions like retinoblastoma.
- - The patient underwent comprehensive eye examinations using various imaging techniques, which confirmed that the benign tumor was located in the inner nuclear layer of the retina and was not associated with any other abnormalities.
- - The findings highlight the importance of recognizing Benign Lobular Inner Nuclear Layer Proliferations (BLIP), a newly identified type of retinal lesion, due to their unique features that differentiate them from other retinal tumors.
Article Synopsis
- A patient with sickle cell trait showed a rare eye issue called pachychoroid neovascular membrane, which caused problems in his vision.
- Doctors did various tests, including eye scans and blood tests, to confirm his condition and decided to treat it with laser therapy and medicine that helps prevent blood vessel growth in the eye.
- Even though sickle cell trait is usually not very serious, it can still cause eye problems in some cases, so doctors need to pay attention to it when treating certain eye diseases.
Article Synopsis
- The study compares the effectiveness of two surgical methods, pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and tap and inject (T&I), in treating fungal endophthalmitis (FE) based on previous literature and data from a Colombian reference center.
- A systematic review included 13 studies involving 334 eyes, finding no significant difference in visual improvement between PPV and T&I, with T&I being noninferior to PPV.
- The research highlights the need for further prospective randomized controlled trials to better assess treatment outcomes for patients with endophthalmitis.
Objective: To measure the magnitude and duration of the hypotensive effect of two prostaglandin analogues in glaucoma patients using the water drinking test (WDT).
Methods: Patients received latanoprost or travoprost every 24 h and then every 48 h. Untreated WDT were performed at 7 am and with treatment 12, 36 and 44 h after the last dose; intraocular pressure (IOP) peak, fluctuation and the difference between peak and isolated IOP measurements at consultation times were calculated.
The latest global health threat is the ongoing outbreak of respiratory disease, which was named COVID-19 and multiple ever-evolving neurological complications have since been reported. We present the case of a patient with a bilateral tonic pupil in the postinfectious context of COVID-19. Brain magnetic resonance imaging and laboratory tests were normal, a 0.
