Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare autologous fibrin and human amniotic membrane (HAM) as scaffolds for growing conjunctiva cells for transplantation in rabbits with conjunctival defects.
- Eighteen rabbits were divided into three groups: one group received autologous conjunctiva on fibrin, another on HAM, and the third group had no treatment; healing was monitored for six weeks.
- Results showed that the autologous fibrin group had a quicker healing time compared to the other groups, but the differences were not statistically significant; no complications were reported.
This retrospective study investigated the role of antivascular endothelial growth factor agents (VEGF), ranibizumab, bevacizumab and pegaptanib sodium in patients with iris neovascularisation (INV), in which 9 eyes received intraocular injections for various ischaemic ocular conditions. Ocular sequelae included recurrence of rubeosis (n=2) and hyphaema (n=2). Systemic complication included one case of cerebrovascular accident.
