Purpose: Evaluation of the effectiveness of pneumatic vitreolysis in disrupting vitreomacular traction in our own cohort of patients.
Methodology: Prospective follow-up of 21 eyes of 18 patients with focal VMT (adhesion width < 1500 µm) who underwent intravitreal injection of 0.3 ml of 100% perfluoropropane between January 2015 and December 2020.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate whether there is any association between the levels of the angiogenic growth factors and the vascular oxygen saturation in eyes with diabetic retinopathy.
Methods: The study was designed as a prospective trial. The cohort consisted of 29 diabetic patients with scheduled vitreous procedures (intravitreal injection or pars plana vitrectomy).
Background: Secondary aorto-enteric fistulae (SAEF) are a rare, complex and life-threatening complication following aortic repair. Traditional treatment strategy has been with open aortic repair (OAR), with emergence of endovascular repair (EVAR) as a potentially viable initial treatment option. Controversy exists over optimal immediate and long-term management.

The use of infrared (IR) sensors to monitor building entrances for infected persons has seen a major boom between 2020 and 2022 due to the COVID-19 epidemic, but with questionable results. This article does not deal with the precise determination of the temperature of an individual person but focuses on the possibility of using infrared cameras for monitoring the health of the population.
