Introduction: The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of estimated individual vitreous volume on intraocular pressure (IOP) spikes after intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) injections (IVI).
Methods: Vitreous volumes (VV) of eyes were calculated using an axial length (AL) based formula AL3 x (π/6) x 0.76+0.
Purpose: To present a rare case of PASCAL photocoagulation-induced choroidal effusion and serous retinal detachment in a patient with diabetic retinopathy.
Methods: A case report.
Case Description: A 68-year-old man with type 2 diabetes mellitus presented with decreased vision in both eyes.
Article Synopsis
- Efforts such as tenoplasty and amniotic membrane transplant failed to control the exposure, leading to the decision to use an oral (buccal) mucosal graft as a solution.
- The oral mucosal graft successfully healed the previously exposed area, demonstrating its effectiveness for ocular reconstructions and suggesting it can be a useful alternative for similar conditions.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how exogenous testosterone affects choroidal parameters in patients with androgen deficiency compared to healthy individuals.
- Researchers analyzed the eyes of 24 patients with androgen deficiency and 31 healthy volunteers using enhanced-depth imaging optical coherence tomography to measure various choroidal parameters at baseline, 6 weeks, and 18 weeks after treatment.
- Results showed that while some choroidal measurements initially decreased after testosterone treatment, CVI and luminal area significantly increased and remained elevated even four months post-treatment, indicating a lasting effect on the choroidal structure in androgen-deficient patients.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between Chitinase 3-Like 1 gene polymorphisms and the occurrence of preeclampsia in a selected cohort of pregnant women.
Methods: A total of 75 pregnant women participated in the study, 35 of whom were diagnosed with preeclampsia, while 40 served as healthy controls. The preeclamptic group was subdivided based on severity.
