Factors Contributing to Follow-up Nonadherence After Infectious Keratitis Diagnosis.

Objectives: To evaluate demographic, socioeconomic, and clinical factors associated with nonadherence with initial follow-up after a diagnosis of infectious keratitis.

Methods: A retrospective chart review of patients aged 18 to 60 years who were diagnosed with infectious keratitis at the Wills Eye Hospital Emergency Room from March 2019 to September 2019 was conducted. The primary outcome was nonadherence with initial follow-up recommendation and included patients who did not follow-up in the time frame requested by the diagnosing physician and those who were lost to follow-up.

Macular chorioretinal scar a as rare complication of serous retinal detachment in retinopathy of prematurity.

The authors present a preterm neonatal infant with type 1 retinopathy of prematurity, who was treated with diode laser panretinal photocoagulation. The patient developed a serous retinal detachment in the left eye which resolved spontaneously. Long-term follow-up of the patient revealed development of a macular chorioretinal scar in the affected eye.

Light green leaf sectors of variegated Dracaena fragrans plants show similar rates of oxygenic photosynthesis tо that of normal, dark green leaf sectors.

Adaptation and functional significance of chlorophyll deficit in the light green leaf sectors of variegated plants are little known. Efficiency of photosystem II for dark and light adapted states (F/F and ΔF/F') and fluorescence decrease rates (R) of light green leaf sectors of Dracaena fragrans L. were studied by methods of PAM-fluorometry and video registration.
