Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of different surgical interventions (probing alone, probing with monocanalicular intubation, probing with inferior turbinate fracture, and probing with both) for treating simple congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (CNLDO) in children aged 12-36 months.
- A randomized, double-blind trial involved 201 children showing symptoms of CNLDO, with success measured by the absence of symptoms and a negative dye test three months post-surgery.
- The results indicated that while interventions did not significantly change success rates for younger children (12-24 months), older children (24-36 months) benefited more from intubation, achieving
Background: The loss of vision is a substantial public health concern that has important implications for an individual's quality of life. The primary objective of this research was to document the burden of vision loss in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, spanning the years 1990-2019, by age group, sex, underlying cause and sociodemographic index (SDI).
Methods: Publicly available data concerning the burden of vision loss were acquired from the Global Burden of Disease study 2019.
Purpose: To determine the diagnostic accuracy of Pentacam Cataract Grading Scale (PCGS) versus the Lens Opacities Classification System (LOCS III) in scaling pure age-related cataract.
Methods: Between April 2016 and May 2017, eyes of 281 patients were evaluated for grading of lens opacity. We used LOCS III and PCGS.
Amniotic membrane (AM) is a biological tissue that surrounds the fetus in the mother's womb. It has pluripotent cells, immune modulators, collagen, cytokines with anti-fibrotic and anti-inflammatory effect, matrix proteins, and growth factors. In spite of the biological characteristics, some results have been released in preventing the adhesion on traumatized surfaces.
