Identification of in ascites in the context of typhoidal tularaemia.

Tularaemia is a highly infectious, zoonotic disease caused by , which has become increasingly prevalent over the past decade. Depending on the route of infection, different clinical manifestations can be observed. We report a case of typhoidal tularaemia presenting as a febrile illness with gastrointestinal symptoms in a patient in her mid-80s.

[The diagnosis and management of idiopathic intracranial hypertension].

Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is defined by the presence of headache with or without associated visual impairment, elevated cerebrospinal fluid pressure, and exclusion of a secondary etiology. The increased risk of severe visual impairment prompts rapid recognition and initial management by general practitioners, even though the incidence of this condition is low. Based on a case report, the aim of this review is to describe the typical clinical presentation of IIH, to discuss the underlying pathophysiology as well as work-up and management.

Visual function after bilateral implantation of apodized diffractive aspheric multifocal intraocular lenses with a +3.0 D addition.

Purpose: To evaluate visual function after bilateral implantation of apodized diffractive aspheric multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) with a +3.0 diopter addition (add) power.

Setting: Multicenter study at 5 European sites.

Retinal straylight and complaint scores 18 months after implantation of the AcrySof monofocal and ReSTOR diffractive intraocular lenses.

Purpose: To evaluate retinal straylight and patient complaint scores 18 months after implantation with the AcrySof ReSTOR diffractive multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) (Alcon Laboratories Inc).

Methods: Retinal straylight was measured with the C-Quant (Oculus Optikgeräte GmbH) system in 40 eyes implanted with the AcrySof ReSTOR IOL (SA60D3) and in 40 eyes implanted with the AcrySof SA60AT monofocal IOL. Complaint scores were assessed by a questionnaire in both groups of patients at three different lighting conditions--day light, dimmed light, and at night.

Rotational stability of the AcrySof SA60TT toric intraocular lenses: a cohort study.

Background: To evaluate the rotational stability of the three types of AcrySof SA60TT toric intraocular lenses (Alcon, Switzerland) in cataract surgery after the first postoperative week.

Methods: A retrospective study of 44 eyes in 33 patients. All patients underwent similar uncomplicated phacoemulsification cataract surgery.
