Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is a catastrophic ophthalmic emergency that severely impairs a patient's visual function, often reducing visual acuity to counting fingers or worse. Progress in CRAO research has provided new information regarding its epidemiological characteristics and led to useful assessments through various ophthalmic examinations. Additional insights about CRAO have been gained through studies of its pathophysiological mechanisms, improving intervention timing and enhancing patient prognosis.

- The study aimed to compare how effective and safe infliximab is compared to adalimumab in treating non-infectious uveitis (NIU).
- After analyzing 11 clinical trials involving 1,459 patients, the results showed no significant differences in complete remission rates or therapy responses between the two drugs.
- However, the analysis indicated that infliximab had a higher rate of adverse events (17.91%) compared to adalimumab (12.12%), suggesting that adalimumab is slightly safer.
Five-in-one: a novel, cost-effective yet simple use of micro needle holder.
Int J Ophthalmol
April 2022
Aim: To achieve a balance between efficiency and cost in the management of medical instrument by the use of micro needle holder.
Methods: In this study, the novel multifunctional use of micro needle holders was performed between 2018 and 2019 at the Department of Ophthalmology in the 4 hospitals in Shaanxi Province. In this innovation, the micro needle holders were initially used as micro forceps to remove sutures, as eye spud to safety extract foreign body from cornea, as ciliary forceps to remove trichiasis, as well as punctal dilator to dilate most small puncta.
