J Vitreoretin Dis
September 2024
Article Synopsis
- A study analyzed the effects and complications of immediate small-gauge pars plana vitrectomy on 107 patients with exogenous endophthalmitis from 2016 to 2022.
- Results showed significant improvement in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) from initial diagnosis to follow-up, with a mean logMAR BCVA change from 2.26 to 1.21.
- Common complications included retinal detachment (17.8%) and secondary glaucoma (9.3%), highlighting the need for patient counseling on the risks of the surgery.
Article Synopsis
- * A total of 783 surgeries were performed, with patients experiencing a significant mean visual acuity improvement of 28.5 letters over an average of 3.05 months.
- * While 27.3% of cases experienced statistical hypotony, only 5% of complications were specifically linked to the IOL, indicating that the technique was generally effective with few direct issues arising from the lens itself.
The beneficial effects of feeding probiotic DSM 32315 (BS) and CECT 5940 (BV) to chickens are well-documented, with potential immune modulation as a key mechanism. In this study, we investigated the direct interactions of chicken peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) with BS or BV through whole transcriptome profiling and cytokine array analysis. Transcriptome profiling revealed 20 significantly differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in response to both treatments, with twelve DEGs identified in BS-treated PBMCs and eight in BV-treated PBMCs.

Methods: A total of 267 parents of children aged between 0 and 2 years completed an online questionnaire that consists of the Singaporean Children Lifestyle Questionnaire and either the Pediatric Quality of Life (PedsQL) Inventory Infant Scale or the Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire. Well-being of infants was measured through parent responses to PedsQL and that of toddlers was measured through Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire.
The study aimed to develop a sensitive and high-throughput liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry method to quantify concentrations of tramadol and paracetamol simultaneously in human plasma. Sample preparation involved single-step protein precipitation using methanol and two deuterated internal standards, tramadol D6 and paracetamol D4. Agilent Poroshell 120 EC-C18 (100 × 2.
