Modified ILM flap techniques versus classical inverted ILM flap technique for large macular holes: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Background: Macular holes (MHs) constitute a vitreoretinal interface disorder that occurs when structural abnormalities in the fovea lead to impaired central vision. The standard treatment for MHs is mainly surgical. Using an inverted internal limiting membrane (ILM) flap has enhanced the success rates of MH surgeries.

Reno-Duodenal Fistula as a Complication of Staghorn Stones and Renal Pelvis Tumor: A Case Presentation.

Reno alimentary fistula, a rare illness characterized by improper connection between the kidney and digestive tract, can lead to urinary tract infections, abscesses, and severe sepsis. It can also be caused by various factors such as chronic infections, malignancy, cryoablation, or abdominal surgical procedures. We present a case of a 60-year-old man with bilateral staghorn stones who was diagnosed with reno-duodenal fistula and underwent a right simple nephrectomy and fistula closure.

Phacoemulsification versus Laser Peripheral Iridotomy for Treating Primary Angle Closure Glaucoma: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: Primary Angle Closure Glaucoma (PACG), is caused by narrowing the iridocorneal angle and increases the risk of blockage in the trabecular meshwork. Phacoemulsification and laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) effectively control IOP elevation and widen the angle. This systematic review and meta-analysis compared Phacoemulsification and LPI Effectiveness for PACG.

Modified sutureless and glue-free method versus conventional sutures for conjunctival autograft fixation in primary pterygium surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Pterygium is a common ocular surface disorder that requires surgical intervention for treatment. Conjunctival autografts are preferred over simple excision due to lower recurrence rates. This systematic review and meta-analysis compared the modified sutureless glue-free (MSGF) method with conventional sutures (CS) for conjunctival autograft fixation in primary pterygium surgery.

Uncommon Complication Post-deep Sclerectomy: Giant Retinal Tear.

Glaucoma is a prevalent neurodegenerative disease. It causes progressive visual loss and is one of the most common causes of blindness worldwide. It can be categorized into open-angle or closed-angle glaucoma.

The Impact of Obesity on Hodgkin's Lymphoma Patients Treated With Uniform Chemotherapy Protocol at Princess Noorah Oncology Center, National Guard Health Affairs, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia: Retrospective Matched Cohort.

Background Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) is a disease that affects lymphocytes, mostly B cells, and it is commonly diagnosed by the presence of Reed-Sternberg cells. The influence of obesity on the disease course of HL is still controversial. This study's aim was to investigate the treatment outcomes in obese patients suffering from HL and compare them to the outcomes of non-obese patients.

A Six-Year-Old Child With Mosaic Trisomy 13.

Trisomy 13 was first described by Patau in 1960. It is a rare genetic disease caused by having an extra copy of chromosome 13. Mosaic trisomy 13 happens when a percentage of the cells are trisomic for chromosome 13, while the remaining cells are euploid.
