Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore changes in choroidal blood flow (CBF) and choroidal thickness (CT) in eyes with non-ischemic branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) after treatment with intravitreal aflibercept injections (IVA).
- Conducted on 20 treatment-naive patients, measurements were taken before and after treatment using laser speckle flowgraphy and optical coherence tomography, revealing significant reductions in CBF and CT at specific times post-treatment.
- The findings suggest that aflibercept injections led to decreases in both CBF and CT, which may correlate with improvements in macular edema among the studied BRVO eyes.
Article Synopsis
- This study assesses how choroidal blood flow (CBF) and choroidal thickness (CT) can predict if macular edema will return in patients with a specific type of eye condition (BRVO) after receiving treatment.
- Sixteen patients were treated with an injection and monitored for changes in CBF and CT over a year using specialized imaging techniques.
- Results showed that thicker CT in affected areas initially dropped after one week, while CBF remained steady; however, an imbalance in CBF was linked to how many injections were later needed, suggesting it could help predict recurrence of macular edema.
Introduction And Importance: Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) ex pleomorphic adenoma is a rare type of salivary gland cancer. Surgical resection remains the standard therapy for this malignancy. After tumor removal, larger defects may require a local, regional, or free flap, while smaller ones can be closed primarily.

- The study aimed to assess how the antibody levels change and any side effects experienced by healthcare workers after receiving their third dose of the COVID-19 vaccine over a follow-up period from December 2021 to November 2023.
- A total of 392 healthcare workers participated, with 358 having their antibody levels measured before and after vaccination, showing a significant increase in antibody titers post-vaccination.
- The results indicated no significant relationship between the occurrence of side effects, like fever or swelling, and the changes in antibody levels; however, factors like age and hypertension were identified as influencing the increase in antibody titers.
Clinical characteristics that predict parotid abscess: An observational cohort study.
Ann Med Surg (Lond)
April 2021
Background: We analysed clinical factors that are predictive of a diagnosis of parotid abscess among patients with bacterial parotitis.
Material And Methods: This retrospective study included 64 hospitalised patients who were diagnosed with parotid abscess, or bacterial parotitis. Data on patient demographics, clinical characteristics, and clinical management were collected.
