Epithelial Downgrowth after Intraocular Surgery Treated with Intracameral 5-Fluorouracil.

Purpose. To present the clinical and histopathologic correlation of two cases of epithelial downgrowth (EDG) after prior intraocular surgery. Methods.

Anatabine supplementation decreases thyroglobulin antibodies in patients with chronic lymphocytic autoimmune (Hashimoto's) thyroiditis: a randomized controlled clinical trial.

Context: Hashimoto's thyroiditis is less prevalent in tobacco smokers. Anatabine, an alkaloid found in Solanaceae plants including tobacco, has been reported to ameliorate a mouse model of Hashimoto's thyroiditis.

Objective: The effects of anatabine in patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis were studied.

Clinical profile and early surgical complications in the Cornea Donor Study.

Purpose: The Cornea Donor Study was designed to investigate the safety and efficacy of older donor corneal tissue compared with younger donor tissue in recipient eyes at moderate risk to the graft from progressive endothelial failure. Baseline patient data, including indications for transplant, intraoperative complication rates, and early postoperative complication rates are described herein.

Methods: This study was a multicenter prospective, double-masked, controlled clinical trial.
