Vascular abnormalities in aggressive posterior retinopathy of prematurity detected by fluorescein angiography.

Purpose: To evaluate fluorescein angiography (FA) in eyes with aggressive posterior retinopathy of prematurity (AP-ROP).

Design: Retrospective, nonrandomized case series.

Participants: Three patients (6 eyes) with AP-ROP.

[Preoperatively administered flomoxef sodium concentration in aqueous humor].

Purpose: We intravenously administered flomoxef sodium (FMOX) 0.5-3.5 hours before cataract surgery and measured the concentration of the agent in the aqueous humor to investigate its penetration into the aqueous humor and its efficacy in the prevention of postoperative endophthalmitis.

Flomoxef sodium and levofloxacin concentrations in aqueous humor.

Aims: We intravenously administered flomoxef sodium (FMOX) 120 minutes before cataract surgery, topically administered levofloxacin (LVFX) into the eyes four times at 30-minute intervals before surgery, and measured the aqueous humor concentrations of these agents to investigate their penetration into the aqueous humor and their efficacy in the prevention of postoperative endophthalmitis.

Methods: Sixty-eight patients who underwent cataract surgery at the Department of Ophthalmology, Yokohama City University School of Medicine, or its affiliate, Kanazawa Hospital, Yokohama, were enrolled in this study. They received one or both of the following: 1.
