Visual and refractive outcome after 12 years of treatment of type 1 prethreshold retinopathy of prematurity.

In this study, the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and refraction in preterm-born infants in South-Eastern Bulgaria after 12 years of treatment for type 1 prethreshold retinopathy of prematurity were presented, and the outcomes of laser treatment and cryotherapy were compared.

Normal Reference Ranges of Optical Coherence Tomography Parameters in Children.

Aim: To measure the macular thickness, macular volume and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) in healthy Caucasian chil-dren using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SDOCT) and analyze the correlation of these values with age, refraction, and biometric measurements.

Materials And Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we recruited 270 healthy children (150 female and 120 male) aged 6 to 17 years with no ocular abnormalities. All children underwent a detailed eye examination.

Optical Coherence Tomography-Angiography of Different Choroidal Neovascularization Subtypes in Wet Age-related Macular Degeneration.

Age-related macular degeneration is a leading cause of irreversible vision loss in individuals over 55 years of age worldwide. Conventionally, it is divided into two subtypes - dry (non-neovascular) and wet (neovascular) form. Neovascular age-related macular degeneration comprises only 10-15% of all patients but is responsible for more than 80% of blindness related to the disease.

The 5-minute Apgar Score as a Prognostic Factor for Development and Progression of Retinopathy of Prematurity.

Background: A low Apgar score at 5 minutes has been shown to be a risk factor for development of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).

Aim: To examine the prognostic value of Apgar score at 5 minutes for development and progression of ROP.

Materials And Methods: The study included 132 preterm infants who were screened from 4th week of life onward.

[Features of pathological changes of fibro-cartilaginous tissue knee in patients with Baker cyst.].

Objective: Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to evaluate the characteristics of pathological changes of fibro-cartilage of the knee in patients with Baker cyst, to assess the compliance of degrees of damage stages of osteoarthritis on a scale of Kellgren–Lawrence (K–L), and compare the results with the data of other researchers.

Material And Methods: This study included patients (38–82 years) with a cyst Baker accidentally detected during ultrasound veins of the lower extremities. The subjects underwent a single knee MRI.
