Epidemiology, Etiologies, and Complications of Playtime Open Globe Injuries in Children.

Purpose: To study the epidemiology, etiologies, and complications of playtime open globe injuries in children at the Assiut University Hospital, Egypt.

Methods: This prospective cross-sectional study enrolled children with open globe injury who were admitted to Assiut University Hospital during a 6-month period (January to July 2016). All causes of trauma that occurred during playtime (at home, outside home, at the club, or at school) were recorded and analyzed.

Pix2pix Conditional Generative Adversarial Networks for Scheimpflug Camera Color-Coded Corneal Tomography Image Generation.

Purpose: To assess the ability of pix2pix conditional generative adversarial network (pix2pix cGAN) to create plausible synthesized Scheimpflug camera color-coded corneal tomography images based upon a modest-sized original dataset to be used for image augmentation during training a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) for classification of keratoconus and normal corneal images.

Methods: Original images of 1778 eyes of 923 nonconsecutive patients with or without keratoconus were retrospectively analyzed. Images were labeled and preprocessed for use in training the proposed pix2pix cGAN.

Flap Sliding Technique for Managing Flap Striae following Laser In Situ Keratomileusis.

Purpose: To assess the efficacy and safety of a simple, noninvasive, "flap-sliding" technique for managing flap striae following laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK).

Methods: This prospective, interventional study included eyes with post-LASIK flap striae. All eyes underwent flap sliding 1-2 days after surgery.

Refractive Lens Exchange Combined with Primary Posterior Vitrectorhexis in Highly Myopic Patients.

. To evaluate efficacy and safety of primary vitrectorhexis for posterior capsulotomy in highly myopic patients undergoing refractive lens exchange. .

Spectral domain anterior segment optical coherence tomography in microbial keratitis.

Purpose: To investigate the spectral domain anterior segment optical coherence tomography (SDAS-OCT) patterns in microbial keratitis (fungal and bacterial keratitis).

Design: Prospective, cross-sectional, observational study.

Methods: Twenty eyes of 20 patients with proven fungal and bacterial microbial keratitis, at different stages of the disease, underwent SDAS-OCT imaging.

Pediatric eye injuries in upper Egypt.

Purpose: To analyze the patterns, causes, and outcome of pediatric ocular trauma at Assiut University Hospital in Upper Egypt (South of Egypt).

Methods: All ocular trauma patients aged 16 years or younger admitted to the emergency unit of Ophthalmology Department of Assiut University between July 2009 and July 2010 were included in the study. The demographic data of all patients and characteristics of the injury events were determined.
