Experimental research in rats on the reactivity of new corneal blood vessels to adrenaline.

The purpose of this experimental study was to evaluate the existence of adrenergic receptors in ketamine-induced corneal blood vessels in rat pups. The study of corneal neovascularization motricity was performed on 45-day-old Wistar rats in which, starting from the 15th day of life, corneal blood vessels were obtained by injecting intraperitoneal ketamine at a dose of 150 mg/ kg body weight, a total of 5 successive doses. The examination of the neovascularization was done with the help of a Nikon stereomicroscope connected to a video camera and a computer, the total magnification being 400X.

The ocular surface bacterial contamination and its management in the prophylaxis of post cataract surgery endophthalmitis.

To investigate the recent pieces of evidence regarding the bacterial ocular surface contamination and its treatment in the prophylaxis of post-cataract surgery endophthalmitis. We conducted a literature research on the topic of interest and selected the most relevant data. The studies reported a relatively high rate of positive conjunctival culture and the most frequently isolated organism was Coagulase negative Staphylococcus, which is also the most common etiological agent of the postoperative endophthalmitis.
