Article Synopsis
- A rare complication of TAPP repair is mesh-induced appendicitis, with only five previous cases reported.
- A 25-year-old male developed acute appendicitis two years after TAPP surgery, presenting with abdominal pain, nausea, and loss of appetite.
- Imaging confirmed appendicitis due to the appendix being adhered to the TAPP mesh, and the patient successfully underwent laparoscopic appendectomy with no complications.
Ultrafast pulses, particularly those with durations under 100 fs, are crucial in achieving unprecedented precision and control in light-matter interactions. However, conventional on-chip photonic platforms are not inherently designed for ultrafast time-domain operations, posing a significant challenge in achieving essential parameters such as high peak power and high temporal resolution. This challenge is particularly pronounced when propagating through integrated waveguides with nonlinear and high-dispersion profiles.

Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a critical acute complication of DM marked by hyperglycemia and acidosis due to ketone body accumulation, often seen in younger patients. The pathophysiology involves insulin deficiency and the effects of counter-regulatory hormones, leading to increased gluconeogenesis and lipolysis.

Methods: The 125 eyes of 125 patients were included in the study and were divided into four groups based on their stage of keratoconus (KC) and the presence or absence of corneal cross-linking (CXL). The first group (KC1 group, n = 33) consisted of patients with stage 1 KC who underwent CXL, while the second group (ncKC1 group, n = 33) comprised patients with stage 1 KC who did not receive CXL.
Purpose: To present the clinical manifestations, ocular complications and treatment results of pediatric pars planitis (PPP).
Methods: This retrospective clinical study was conducted at a tertiary care center and included 28 children (51 eyes) aged 16 years or younger. Visual acuity (VA), anterior chamber cell (ACC) grade, vitritis grade, central macular thickness (CMT), fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) score, treatment approach, complications, and relapse rate were recorded.
