The influence of rotational error and axial shift of toric intraocular lenses on residual astigmatism.

Purpose: Accurate alignment of Toric Intraocular Lens (T-IOLs) in cataract surgery is crucial for good visual outcomes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of rotation, axial shift and their combined effects on the refractive error and image quality of a wide range of T-IOL powers (from +1.50 D to +6.

Description of a new method to calculate the equator of the crystalline lens using AS-OCT images: Accuracy in non-dilated measurements.

Objective: To establish a methodology for objectively estimating the Lens Equatorial Plane (LEP) from clinical images, comparing LEP with dilated versus non-dilated pupils.

Methods: A cohort of 91 eyes from 60 patients undergoing preoperative assessments for cataract surgery was evaluated. Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography (AS-OCT) images were analysed under conditions of pharmacologically induced pupil dilation versus a non-dilated pupil.

Biometric description of 34 589 eyes undergoing cataract surgery: sex differences.

Purpose: To describe gender differences in the biometric parameters of a large sample of patients with cataract. Cataract surgery has evolved from a vision restoration to a refractive procedure, and population-based studies are vital to optimize normative databases and postsurgical outcomes.

Setting: Miguel Servet University Hospital, Zaragoza, Spain.

Impact of healthcare inequities on survival in Mexican patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma.

Introduction: The survival of patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) has improved dramatically due to novel systemic treatments. However, mRCC mortality continues to rise in Latin America.

Methods: A retrospective, multicenter study of patients diagnosed with mRCC between 2010-2018 in Mexico City was conducted.

Erdafitinib in the Treatment of Metastatic Urothelial Carcinoma.

A Hispanic man, aged 42 years, was diagnosed with stage IV metastatic urothelial bladder cancer (MUBC) with nonregional lymphadenopathies and lung, bone, and skin involvement. He received first-line treatment with gemcitabine and cisplatin for 6 cycles, achieving a partial response (PR). Next, he received immunotherapy maintenance with avelumab for 4 months until disease progression.

Oncofertility and Fertility Preservation in Cancer Patients Across the Twitterverse.

Purpose: Infertility is a major problem affecting children, adolescents, and young adults (AYAs) with cancer, either due to the disease itself or because of oncologic treatment. Oncofertility (OF) focuses on counseling cancer patients about fertility risks and preservation options. However, OF and fertility preservation (FP) conversations on Twitter and their impact are unknown.

Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma With Sarcomatoid Features.

A previously healthy woman, aged 38 years, presented with a 3-month history of fatigue, dyspnea on exertion, significant weight loss, and severe left flank pain; her symptoms restricted any work activities. Laboratory test results were notable for hypercalcemia (corrected serum calcium, 12.8 mg/dL), anemia (9.

Sjögren Syndrome Induced by Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors in a Patient with Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma.

This clinical quandary details a Mexican man, aged 77 years, who presented to the oncology clinic with a sternal mass. Based on the results, the patient fulfilled the 2016 American College of Rheumatology/European League Against Rheumatism classification criteria for Sjögren syndrome, thus the diagnosis triggered by immune checkpoint inhibitors was definitively established.

Hand-Foot Skin Reaction Secondary to Sunitinib in a Patient With Metastatic Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma.

A man, age 45 years, was diagnosed with intermediate-risk stage IV clear cell renal carcinoma (lung and lymph node metastases). He was prescribed first-line systemic treatment with sunitinib (Sutent) 50 mg per day (each cycle: 4 weeks on, 2 weeks off). Upon day 22 of his second sunitinib cycle, he came to the oncology clinic complaining of difficulty walking due to bilateral sole pain.

The Role of Postmastectomy Radiotherapy in Locally Advanced Breast Cancer After Pathological Complete Response to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy.

The Case A previously healthy woman, aged 32 years, presented to the oncology clinic with a 6-month history of left-breast tumor, mastalgia, and swollen axillary nodes. Physical examination was relevant for a 6-cm palpable mass in the upper outer quadrant of the left breast and an ipsilateral 2-cm, nonfixed axillary lymph node. Mammography showed a 1-cm mass in the upper outer quadrant, a 5.

Predictive value of intracrystalline interphase point measured by optical low-coherence reflectometry for the estimation of the anatomical position of an intraocular lens after cataract surgery.

Purpose: To investigate the predictive value of the intracrystalline interphase point (ICIP) measured with optical low-coherence reflectometry (OCLR) to estimate the final lens position (FLP) of an intraocular lens (IOL) after cataract surgery.

Setting: Alcañiz Hospital, Teruel, Spain.

Design: Single-center retrospective descriptive study.

Ability of retinopathy to predict cardiovascular disease in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

It is important identify patients with very high cardiovascular risk to intensify their therapy. Our aim was to assess the association between retinopathy and incident cardiovascular events (cardiovascular disease [CVD]) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). Patients were included if they had type 2 DM and a visible fundus.

[Diabetic retinopathy and mortality in type 2 diabetic patients].

Background And Objective: This study was intended to assess the independent contribution of retinopathy to mortality in type 2 diabetic patients.

Patients And Method: Prospective cohort study. Type 2 diabetic patients with available fundus were included.

Microalbuminuria presents the same vascular risk as overt CVD in type 2 diabetes.

Objectives: We attempted to assess whether microalbuminuria conferred the same cardiovascular risk as overt CVD in type 2 diabetic patients.

Material And Methods: A prospective cohort study including 436 type 2 diabetic patients (64.8+/-9.

Fasting plasma glucose variability as a risk factor of retinopathy in Type 2 diabetic patients.

Aims/hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to determine whether plasma glucose variability, irrespective of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), was able to predict the onset of retinopathy in Type 2 diabetic patients.

Methods: The study was based on a cohort of 130 Type 2 diabetic patients without retinopathy recruited from June 1994 to June 1998. The fundus was reexamined between November 2000 and June 2001, with a mean follow-up period of 5.
