Incidence of Acute Endophthalmitis after Intravitreal Antivascular Endothelial Growth Factor Injection in Age-related Macular Degeneration.

Purpose: Antivascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) agents are routinely intravitreously injected to treat neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Postoperative endophthalmitis, a side effect after intravitreal anti-VEGF injection, has been reported to have a low incidence but may threaten vision. In this study, we aimed to analyze the incidence of acute endophthalmitis after intravitreal anti-VEGF injection and associated risk factors in patients with neovascular AMD in South Korea.

Association between vision impairment and depression: a 9-year, longitudinal, nationwide, population-based cohort study in South Korea.

Background/aims: Vision impairment (VI) increases the risk of various comorbidities, including depression. However, the relationship between depression and VI is unclear, and existing findings are inconsistent. We therefore investigated the risk of depression in adults before and after their registration as visually impaired.

Complications, treatments, and visual prognosis of choroidal osteomas.

Purpose: This study aims to report complications, treatments, and visual prognosis of choroidal osteoma.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed electronic medical records and multimodal images of 41 patients with choroidal osteoma.

Results: Visually significant complications included choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in 21 (47.

CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF RETINAL VASCULAR OCCLUSION IN MOYAMOYA DISEASE: Case Series and Systematic Review.

Purpose: Although moyamoya disease primarily affects the carotid artery in the ophthalmic artery bifurcation area, retinal vascular abnormalities in moyamoya disease have rarely been reported. The purpose of this report is to describe clinical findings of patients with retinal vascular occlusion in patients with moyamoya disease and present its clinical significance.

Methods: We reviewed and analyzed patients with moyamoya disease with retinal vascular occlusions.

Consumption of Fish and ω-3 Fatty Acids and Cancer Risk: An Umbrella Review of Meta-Analyses of Observational Studies.

Multiple studies have suggested that ω-3 fatty acid intake may have a protective effect on cancer risk; however, its true association with cancer risk remains controversial. We performed an umbrella review of meta-analyses to summarize and evaluate the evidence for the association between ω-3 fatty acid intake and cancer outcomes. We searched PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews from inception to December 1, 2018.
