Background: The goal of this study was to evaluate macular microvascular changes in patients with Fabry disease (FD) using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) and to explore their correlation with laboratory and ocular findings.
Methods: A total of 76 eyes (38 patients) and 48 eyes of 24 healthy controls were enrolled in this prospective study. Vessel Area Density (VAD) and Foveal Avascular Zone (FAZ) area were calculated on 2.
Background: A novel method for trapping voles is the use of pistol-like explosive tools loaded with bolt-action ammunition. When triggered the vole is killed by the very high gas pressure created. Accidental releases can result in facial and/or eye injuries.

- * Results showed a significant decrease in VAD across various layers of the retina, predominantly in treated patients, and an increase in FAZ area and diameters, indicating potential vascular remodeling due to the disease.
- * This study suggests that monitoring VAD and FAZ changes could serve as reliable biomarkers for evaluating treatment efficacy in Fabry disease, highlighting the need for further research with larger sample sizes.
Background: In ophthalmologic surgery, there are usually short operation times and thus many changes between the individual operations, which are not subject to remuneration. As in maximum care hospitals consecutive different operations with different durations are often performed, emergency operations have to be inserted and further training of colleagues is practiced, it is particularly important to generate the shortest possible transfer times in order to have both sufficient operation time and to be able to treat as many cases as possible. The aim of this work is to evaluate the efficiency of the surgical performance of a university eye hospital.

Background: Experiences of aggression/violence influence job satisfaction and can have a long-term psychological and physical impact on employees. In the fall of 2018, the Professional Association of Ophthalmologists (BVA) and the German Ophthalmological Society (DOG) conducted a survey on experiences of aggression and violence. The first results were published in 2020.
