Unilateral Papilledema with Bilateral Optic Nerve Sheath Distension: A Case Report.

Bilateral edematous optic disc swelling from papilledema is caused by elevated intracranial pressure (ICP). Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), a clinical syndrome with elevated ICP of unclear etiology, is a frequent cause of this condition. IIH typically affects obese middle-aged females.

Modified capsulorhexis for fiuid-filled mature cataracts.

Background: The aim of this study was to develop a modified capsulorhexis technique featuring a new maneuver for the removal of subcortical fluid in fluid-filled mature cataracts to avoid high intralenticular pressure.

Methods: This prospective interventional study included 33 eyes with mature cataracts and evidence of subcapsular fluid spaces by slit lamp examination. For each patient, 20% mannitol was administered intravenously according to the bodyweight 1 h preoperatively.

Indoor Air Quality: Rethinking rules of building design strategies in post-pandemic architecture.

To effectively reduce the spread of SARS-CoV-2, it is crucial to highlight the effectiveness of building design strategies in mitigating threats to occupants. The ongoing pandemic research and actions focus on how poor Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) amplifies the effects of airborne viruses. This review aims to draw architects' attention toward the high risk of airborne transmission of diseases by providing the latest updates and solutions to understand better the environmental and health issues associated with COVID-19.

Antivirus-built environment: Lessons learned from Covid-19 pandemic.

Before developing medications for an epidemic, one solution is to go back to the physical and built environment to reduce its impact. Epidemics have transformed our built environment because of the fear of infection. Consequently, architecture and urbanism after the Covid-19 epidemic will never be the same.

Behavior of intraocular pressure after intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide among egyptians.

Purpose: To evaluate the changes in intraocular pressure (IOP) after intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide for the management of diabetic macular edema (DME).

Methods: The study design is a prospective, interventional, two-arm, dose-response study. Nineteen patients with bilateral DME were included, one eye for every patient underwent intravitreal injection of 4 mg triamcinolone acetonide (group A, 19 eyes), and the other eye of the same patient underwent intravitreal injection of 8 mg triamcinolone acetonide (group B, 19 eyes); the selection as to which eye was to receive either dose was random.

Red-free light for measurement of intraocular pressure using Goldmann applanation tonometer without fluorescein.

Purpose: To evaluate the use of red-free light for the measurement of intraocular pressure (IOP) using a Goldmann applanation tonometer without fluorescein.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on 500 eyes in 250 patients attending the Ophthalmology Outpatient Clinic at Suez Canal University Hospital. The IOP was measured using a Goldmann applanation tonometer mounted on a Haag-Streit slit-lamp.

Needling augmented with topical application of mitomycin C for management of bleb failure.

Purpose: To study the effect of topical application of mitomycin C on enhancing the efficacy of needling in the management of bleb failure.

Patients And Methods: Thirty-six eyes of 32 consecutive patients with an intraocular pressure over 21 mmHg, without bleb or with a thick, flat bleb after the second postoperative month after trabeculectomy, were included in the study. Needling with mitomycin C was performed in the other 18 eyes with bleb failure (group A) and needling without antimetabolite was performed in 18 eyes (group B).

Preoperative subconjunctival injection of mitomycin C versus intraoperative topical application as an adjunctive treatment for surgical removal of primary pterygium.

Purpose: To compare the efficacy of preoperative local injection of mitomycin C (MMC) to intraoperative application of MMC in the prevention of pterygium recurrence after surgical removal.

Materials And Methods: Seventy eyes of 70 patients with primary pterygia were randomly allocated to two groups. The first group (Group A, 35 eyes) received 0.
