Evaluation of optical coherence tomography parameters before and after parenteral iron treatment of patients with iron deficiency anemia.

Purpose: The aim of our study is to evaluate the relationship between iron deficiency anemia (IDA), which is a common and often chronic condition in young women, and the optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings, which have become an indispensable part of ophthalmology practice. We aim to identify a new biomarker for anemia evaluation by demonstrating the morphological changes in the eye before and after iron replacement treatment through OCT findings.

Methods: 70 eyes of 35 patients diagnosed with IDA and planned to have parenteral iron replacement were included in the study.

Retinal vascular caliber in patients with newly diagnosed iron deficiency anemia.

Background: To evaluate the retinal vascular caliber using fundus photography in patients with newly diagnosed iron deficiency anemia (IDA).

Methods: This study included 56 eyes of 28 female patients with IDA and the 56 eyes of 28 age- and sex-matched healthy participants. Retinal vascular calibers were measured using image analysis software from fundus photographs.

Subthreshold micropulse laser versus intravitreal anti-VEGF for diabetic macular edema patients with relatively better visual acuity.

Aim: To compare the effects of yellow (577 nm) subthreshold micropulse laser (SML) and intravitreal (IV) anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) treatment in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME) with relatively better visual acuity [best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) ≤0.15 logMAR].

Methods: The medical records of 76 eyes of 47 patients underwent IV (0.

Persistence of 137Cs in the litter layers of forest soil horizons of Mount IDA/Kazdagi, Turkey.

In 2010-2012, an extensive study was performed in forest sites of Mount IDA (Kazdagi)/Edremit 26 years after the Chernobyl accident. The (137)Cs activity concentrations were determined by gamma-ray spectrometry in the forest soil layers (OL, OF + OH and A horizons) separately. Based on 341 surface soil samples and 118 soil profiles, activity concentrations of (137)Cs in OL horizons varied between 0.
