Morphological and Functional Correlations in Acute Central Serous Chorioretinopathy.

Purpose: We evaluate morphological and functional correlations in patients with acute central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC).

Methods: A prospective study was conducted on 50 patients with an acute CSC episode lasting less than 3 months. At baseline, assessments included optical coherence tomography (OCT), best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), contrast sensitivity (CS), microperimetry (MP), and multifocal electroretinography (mfERG).

Functional Outcomes and Safety Profile of Trans-Foveal Subthreshold Micropulse Laser in Persistent Central Serous Chorioretinopathy.

Our study evaluated visual function changes after subthreshold micropulse laser (SML) treatment in persistent central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) and SML safety profile. We conducted a prospective study including 31 fovea-involving CSC patients. The natural course was observed for the first 3 months, SML was performed at 3 months, and SML effectiveness was observed at 6 months.

Biomarkers predicting central serous chorioretinopathy episode persistence.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify biomarkers at presentation that are associated with a persistent central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) episode.

Methods: The prospective study included 35 patients with an acute CSC episode. Potential clinical and imaging biomarkers were evaluated at baseline and 3 months from the episode onset.

Visual function during and after an acute central serous chorioretinopathy episode.

Purpose: To evaluate visual function parameters during and after an acute central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) episode.

Methods: A prospective study included 19 fovea involving acute CSC patients with episode resolution within 3 months from the episode onset. Optical coherence tomography, best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), contrast sensitivity (CS), microperimetry (MP), and multifocal electroretinography (mfERG) were performed at baseline, 3 and 6 months from the episode onset.

Morphological parameters predicting subthreshold micropulse laser effectiveness in central serous chorioretinopathy.

Purpose: The purpose of this prospective study was to predict the effectiveness of subthreshold micropulse laser (SML) based on morphological parameters in patients with central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC).

Methods: Thirty-one patients were examined at presentation, 3 months, and 6 months after the disease onset. In patients with persistent subretinal fluid (SRF) at 3 months, SML was performed.

Acute pain and side effects after tramadol in breast cancer patients: results of a prospective double-blind randomized study.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the severity of acute pain and side effects in breast cancer patients postoperatively treated with two regimens of tramadol with paracetamol in a prospective double-blind study. Altogether 117 breast cancer patients who had axillary lymphadenectomy were randomized into two analgesic study groups and the analgesic treatment lasted 4 weeks. Stronger analgesia group received every 8 h 75/650 mg of tramadol with paracetamol, while weaker analgesia group received every 8 h 37.

Chronic adverse effects after an axillary lymphadenectomy in breast cancer patients after administering weaker and stronger postoperative analgesia: results of a prospective double-blind randomized study.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the rate of chronic adverse effects after a weaker and stronger postoperative analgesia.

Methods: A prospective double-blind randomized study included 117 breast cancer patients receiving tramadol for pain relief for 4 weeks after an axillary lymphadenectomy from 2015 to 2018. Patients with a larger dose received 75/650 mg of tramadol with paracetamol every 8 h and a group with a lower dose received 37.
