Background And Objective: To determine the efficacy of intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide (IVTA) in the early treatment of severe cystoid macular edema (CME) related to acute branch retinal vein occlusion.
Patients And Methods: Retrospective, non-comparative case series. Twelve eyes with severe CME (foveal thickness > 450 microm) secondary to acute branch retinal vein occlusion received IVTA.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) in ophthalmologists, focusing on neck, low back, and upper extremity issues.
- Approximately 51.8% of surveyed ophthalmologists reported experiencing symptoms within the last month, with low back pain being the most common at 39%, followed by upper extremity (32.9%) and neck pain (32.6%).
- The findings suggest that MSD symptoms are prevalent in this profession, but further research is needed to explore ergonomic risks and develop preventive measures, especially considering the low survey response rate.
Purpose: To describe percutaneous carotid angioplasty and stenting to treat ocular ischemic syndrome resulting from severe intracranial carotid artery stenosis.
Design: Retrospective case series of 3 patients with ocular ischemic syndrome and intracranial carotid artery stenosis.
Intervention: All patients underwent carotid artery evaluation, including ultrasound, transcranial Doppler, magnetic resonance imaging or magnetic resonance angiography,and angiography.
