Severe corneal melting after cataract surgery in patients prescribed topical postoperative NSAIDs and dexamethasone/neomycin combination therapy.

Three patients using a postoperative combination of topical ketorolac (Acular) and neomycin/polymyxin B sulfate/dexamethasone (Maxitrol) were diagnosed with atypical keratopathy soon after routine cataract surgery. An immediate retrospective analysis of hospital patients who had used this topical drug combination in the previous year identified 10 other patients who also had significant corneal pathology after uneventful cataract surgery. Five of the 13 affected patients had corneal melting and 1 patient had corneal perforation and endophthalmitis.

Examining the effectiveness of the Cultural Formulation Interview with young children: A clinical illustration.

After years of extensive research, the Cultural Formulation Interview (CFI) was released in the fifth edition of the (DSM-5). Similar to its predecessor, the Outline of the Cultural Formulation (OCF), the CFI aims to refine the psychiatric assessment process by systematically examining cultural factors. However, in contrast to the OCF which employs open-ended questions, the CFI uses a semi-structured interview format.

Children's understanding and experience of mixed emotions: the roles of age, gender, and empathy.

The present study examined the development of children's ability report understanding and experiencing allocentric mixed emotions, and explored the relation of gender and empathic ability to these skills. Participants (128 elementary school-aged children [63 boys, 65 girls]) were shown a movie clip with bittersweet themes to elicit mixed emotions. Findings from this study are consistent with prior research (Larsen, To, & Fireman, 2007), supporting a developmental progression in children's ability to both understand and report experiencing mixed emotions, with the two as distinct skills and children reporting understanding earlier than experiencing of emotions.

Use of dialectical behavior therapy in inpatient treatment of borderline personality disorder: a systematic review.

Objective: Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is an empirically supported treatment for outpatients with borderline personality disorder. However, the utility of DBT strategies for inpatients with the disorder is unclear. This review summarizes and synthesizes findings from trials of DBT in inpatient settings.

Systematic review of the empirical evidence of study publication bias and outcome reporting bias.

Background: The increased use of meta-analysis in systematic reviews of healthcare interventions has highlighted several types of bias that can arise during the completion of a randomised controlled trial. Study publication bias has been recognised as a potential threat to the validity of meta-analysis and can make the readily available evidence unreliable for decision making. Until recently, outcome reporting bias has received less attention.

Fate of Salmonella spp., Listeria monocytogenes ,and Indigenous Spoilage Microorganisms in Home-style Salads Prepared with Commercial Real Mayonnaise or Reduced Calorie Mayonnaise Dressings.

Two home-style salads, chicken and macaroni, were prepared with three different commercial mayonnaise products: (i) real mayonnaise, (ii) reduced calorie mayonnaise dressing, and (iii) reduced calorie/reduced fat mayonnaise dressing.
