Purpose: The aim of this study was to report the outcomes of graft fixation using interrupted, full-thickness sutures on graft detachment after Descemet stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK).
Methods: All DSEK procedures performed at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, from 2015 through 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. Risk factors for graft detachment were defined as previous incisional glaucoma surgery, previous penetrating keratoplasty, or absence of the normal lens-capsule barrier.
Background: Ophthalmic outcomes following venous sinus stenting (VSS) in patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) are not well characterized.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted on 86 consecutive patients with IIH who underwent venous sinus stenting at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota and Stanford Medical Center, Palo Alto, California between May 2015 and October 2021. Patients with raised intracranial pressure from a non-IIH etiology were excluded.
Purpose: Describe a case of intraocular plasmacytoma in a patient with multiple myeloma successfully treated with photon irradiation.
Observations: A 61-year-old man with a history of relapsing/refractory multiple myeloma and left frontal bone plasmacytoma treated with monthly belantamab mafodotin salvage chemotherapy developed bilateral treatment-related corneal keratopathy. An iris mass was incidentally noted in the right eye during a follow-up examination.
Background/aims: To determine population-based incidence of intraocular tumours in Olmsted County, Minnesota.
Methods: Record review of the Rochester Epidemiology Project medical record linkage system from 1 January 2006 to 31 December 2015 for patient demographics, tumour type by clinical diagnosis and presence or absence of confirmation by histopathology. The incidence rate of any intraocular tumour and of each tumour type was calculated per million person-years.
Background: Given that abdominal aorta is a retroperitoneal structure, increased body mass index (BMI) may have an adverse effect upon the quality of aortic ultrasonographic imaging.
Purpose: To assess the hypothesis that increased BMI is associated with worsening point-of-care abdominal aortic ultrasonographic image quality.
Methods: This is a retrospective single-center study of point-of-care abdominal aortic ultrasound examinations performed in an academic emergency department (ED) with fellowship-trained emergency ultrasonography faculty performing quality assurance review.
Background: Many clinicians believe that a patient's body mass index (BMI) affects the likelihood of obtaining high quality ultrasound images.
Objectives: To assess the hypothesis that increased BMI is associated with worsening focused assessment with sonography in trauma (FAST) image quality.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective single-center study of FAST examinations performed in a large academic emergency department (ED) with fellowship-trained emergency ultrasonography faculty performing quality assurance review.
