October 2024
Purpose: To evaluate the success rate and complications of the Ahmed FP7 valve implanted via Pars Plana in a group of vitrectomized patients with refractory glaucoma and anterior segment abnormalities from January 2018 to June 2023.
Methods: Quasi-experimental, prospective study. Eleven eyes with refractory glaucoma were included.
Background: "Rendez-vous" (RV) technique is a mixed-technique which uses both laparoscopic and endoscopic skills; however, the evidence is contradictory regarding the implementation of this technique or the 2-step sequential technique (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography [ERCP] followed by laparoscopic cholecystectomy [LC]) in the management of cholecysto-choledocholitiasis.
Objective: To estimate the association between the implementation of RV technique and the presence of post-surgical complications as primary outcome, using as comparator the 2-step sequential technique.
Method: An observational, analytical, retrospective study was conducted, using as exposed cohort the medical records from patients with a diagnosis of cholelithiasis, cholecystitis, or mild biliary pancreatitis.
Evaluation of clinical and functional sequels of central serous chorioretinopathy. A case series analysis.

November 2022
Objective: To evaluate the clinical and functional sequelae of patients with a diagnosis of resolved CSC, through macular OCT, contrast sensitivity test, visual field 10-2 and Farnsworth D-15 color test.
Methods: 27 eyes of 26 individuals with CSC resolved by macular OCT were included and evaluated; the patients underwent a contrast sensitivity test with the Optec 6500 equipment, a 10-2 visual field with an Octopus 900 Haag-Streit, and a Farnsworth D-15 color test.
Results: Sequelae were observed in 20 eyes (74.
Article Synopsis
- Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major cause of chronic liver disease globally, particularly problematic in developing countries due to limited access to diagnostic testing and treatment.
- A study conducted in Cartagena, Colombia, aimed to determine the prevalence of chronic HCV infection among at-risk adults using rapid tests from December 2017 to November 2019.
- The research found a 0.9% prevalence of HCV infection in 1,023 asymptomatic patients, emphasizing the importance of targeted case identification and timely treatment to reduce health risks.
Background: To validate objectively the proposed Teherán-Morales's color grading scale, comparing to the subjective readings of specialists in optic nerve photography.
Methods: Concordance study and diagnostic tests, in which 150 photographs of the optic nerve were evaluated, from three groups, glaucomatous neuropathy, neuropathy of other origin and control group with the Teherán-Morales's color scale and the analysis of three experts in optic nerve. Spearman's Rho correlation was performed between both analysis methods.
