Measuring Endothelial Cell Loss on DMEK Grafts After Transplantation in Human Cadaveric Whole Eyes: Description of the Technique and Pilot Study.

Purpose: To describe a novel method for analyzing Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) graft damage after implantation into human cadaveric donor eyes and to compare results achieved by performing DMEK with a surgeon's long-established technique compared with those of an unfamiliar technique.

Methods: Eight DMEK grafts were implanted into previously frozen human cadaveric eyes. Four grafts were implanted using a Straiko injector and tap technique familiar to the surgeon (C.

Cumulative Endothelial Cell Loss in Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty Grafts From Preparation Through Insertion With Glass Injectors.

Purpose: Evaluation of cumulative Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty endothelial cell loss (ECL) from preparation through injection using 2 different glass injectors.

Methods: Eighteen Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty grafts with "S" stamps were prepared by eye bank technicians. Nine grafts were assigned to injection with a modified glass Jones tube injector with a 2.

Good syndrome and other causes of cytomegalovirus retinitis in HIV-negative patients-case report and comprehensive review of the literature.

We describe a 65-year-old Thai woman who developed cytomegalovirus retinitis (CMVR) in the setting of Good syndrome-a rare, acquired partial immune deficiency caused by thymoma. The patient subsequently developed vitritis with cystoid macular edema (CME) similar to immune recovery uveitis (IRU) despite control of the retinitis with antiviral agents. A comprehensive review of the literature through December, 2014, identified an additional 279 eyes of 208 patients with CMVR in the absence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.
