Recipient Factors Associated With Graft Detachment of a Subsequent Eye in Sequential Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty.

Purpose: To evaluate the recipient factors associated with graft detachment in the subsequent eye of patients who underwent sequential Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK).

Methods: A retrospective, consecutive case series with 158 eyes of 79 patients who underwent DMEK surgeries in both eyes between October 2013 and April 2019 for treatment of Fuchs endothelial dystrophy. The main outcome measure was the presence of graft detachment (any amount of detachment) at postoperative 1 week in the subsequent eye.

Comparison of prednisolone acetate 1.0% and difluprednate ophthalmic emulsion 0.05% after cataract surgery: Incidence of postoperative steroid-induced ocular hypertension.

Purpose: To compare intraocular pressure (IOP) outcomes between 2 common, commercially available corticosteroid drops: difluprednate ophthalmic emulsion 0.05% and prednisolone acetate 1.0%.

Supraclavicular subclavian vein catheterization: the forgotten central line.

While the supraclavicular approach to the subclavian vein has been described since 1965, it is generally employed much less often than the "traditional" infraclavicular approach. Although randomized trials are lacking, the best evidence suggests that the supraclavicular approach has a number of important advantages to the infraclavicular approach. The landmarks and relative merits of the procedure are described in this paper.

Loss of digits after trauma in a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus.

A 19-year-old female with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) presented with ischemia of her left hand following trauma. Medical therapy was initiated but failed to improve her symptoms, and revision amputation was ultimately performed. The patient's final diagnosis was digital ischemia due to secondary Raynaud's Phenomenon (RP).
