Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare tear function and ocular surface disease (OSD) in glaucoma patients treated with medications in one eye and trabeculectomy surgery in the other.
- The researchers analyzed data from 19 patients who had surgery at least six months prior, assessing various eye health indicators compared to a control group of healthy individuals.
- Results indicated that both treatment methods similarly affected OSD, with some improvement noted over time, but neither approach showed a significant advantage over the other regarding the incidence of OSD.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of two concentrations of topical cyclosporine A (0.05% and 0.1%) after pterygium surgery in terms of recurrence and other clinical parameters over six months.
- A total of 245 patients were divided into three groups and assessed for visual acuity, intraocular pressure, inflammation, and pterygium recurrence at various postoperative intervals.
- The findings indicated no significant differences in recurrence, inflammation, or intraocular pressure among the groups, suggesting that both concentrations of cyclosporine A are similarly effective in improving postoperative outcomes.
Prcis: In addition to standard automated perimetry tests, contrast sensitivity testing and macular analyses may predict changes in the quality of life in patients at different stages of glaucoma.
Purpose: To examine the relationship between functional and structural tests of visual function and the 25-item National Eye Institute-Visual Function Questionnaire (NEI-VFQ-25) and the 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) in patients with different stages of glaucoma.
Materials And Methods: Standard automated perimetry tests, optical coherence tomography scans, and contrast sensitivity (CS) testing were prospectively performed in 160 patients with glaucoma.
The relationship between inflammatory markers and retinopathy of prematurity in extremely premature infants.

August 2024
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the relationships among blood parameters, clinical factors, and retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in extremely premature (EP) infants.
Methods: This retrospective study included 153 EP infants who were categorized into two groups based on the presence of inflammatory diseases such as necrotizing enterocolitis, neonatal sepsis, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, severe intraventricular hemorrhage, preeclampsia, and premature rupture of membranes. Complete blood count parameters, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), lymphocyte-monocyte ratio, platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), systemic inflammatory index, and platelet mass index were recorded during the first week and first month after birth.
Startle reaction is a physiological muscle reaction that occurs to protect against an unexpected, sudden stimulus. In this case, we wanted to discuss the response after the rTMS protocol, which we applied to our patient who had startle reactions that severely impair functionality and who did not meet the post traumatic stress disorders (PTSD) criteria or have a major brain lesion after a traffic accident. A 30-year-old single female patient who works as a stewardess in an airline company with no known history of physical or psychological illness but lost consciousness for about three hours after an in-vehicle traffic accident a week ago was admitted to our clinic.
