Determination of HLA Tissue Type According to the Etiology of Patients with Chronic Renal Failure.

Objective: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a prominent public health concern, is defined as functional and structural damage to the kidneys. This study aims to investigate the association between human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles individuals with CKD and the different etiological subgroups of diesease.

Methods: Genomic DNA was obtained from peripheral blood samples of 1,079 patients with retrospective CKD and 1,111 healthy control individuals.

Juvenile papillomatosis: A case report.

Juvenile papillomatosis (JP) is a very rare benign proliferative breast disease, especially in young women under 30 years of age. Its etiology is not clear yet. Although some patients have breast cancer in their family history, up to 10% breast cancer can develop in the follow-up of JP patients.

Removal of Metallic Foreign Bodies with Complete Penetration of the Cornea: Introduction of a New Approach.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to present a new ab interno approach and relevant case series using a polymer-tipped cannula for the removal of metallic foreign bodies that penetrate the full thickness of the cornea and are located in the posterior corneal region.

Methods: Corneal foreign bodies located on the posterior side of the cornea were gently pushed toward the epithelial side with a polymer-tipped cannula placed using a side-port incision, to be removed without damaging the corneal endothelial layer. The polymer-tipped cannula is specially angled to keep it at a distance from the corneal endothelial layer.

Peripheral Iridectomy in Intrascleral Intraocular Lens Fixation: Preventing Reverse Pupillary Block.

Purpose: To compare clinical outcomes, reverse pupillary block (RPB) findings, and anterior segment parameters in patients with and without intraoperative peripheral iridectomy during sutureless flattened flange intrascleral intraocular lens (IOL) fixation.

Design: Retrospective comparative case series.

Participants: This study included 94 eyes of 82 patients who underwent IOL explantation due to vitreous-dislocated IOL at our clinic between March 2020 and September 2023, followed by flattened haptic-tipped IOL intrascleral fixation combined with pars plana vitrectomy.
