[Pathogenesis and clinical manifestations of sporadic cerebral small vessel disease].

Sporadic small vessel disease (sSVD) is one of the most common vascular disease of the central nervous system (CNS). It is the main cause of lacunar stokes, hemorrhages to deep brain regions and chronic CNS diseases such as vascular parkinsonism and dementia. Beside a high and growing incidence of sSVD especially in the elderly population, the knowledge of ethiopathogenesis and optimal treatment of sSVD have not been established.

Sclerokeratoplasty as the Therapy for Corneal Perforation due to Exposure and Neurotrophic Keratopathy.

A case report of exposure and neurotrophic keratopathy after acoustic neuroma surgery resulting in perforation if not managed appropriately and timely is presented. Sclerokeratoplasty on 360 degrees may be an effective treatment method of corneal perforation in complete anaesthetic cornea when the standard penetrating keratoplasty failed. At a 12-month follow-up, the patient is doing well.

Significance of Haemodynamic and Haemostatic Factors in the Course of Different Manifestations of Cerebral Small Vessel Disease: The SHEF-CSVD Study-Study Rationale and Protocol.

Rationale. This paper describes the rationale and design of the SHEF-CSVD Study, which aims to determine the long-term clinical and radiological course of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) and to evaluate haemostatic and haemodynamic prognostic factors of the condition. Design.

Phacoemulsification with corneal astigmatism correction with the use of a toric intraocular lens in a case of megalocornea.

We report the case of a 49-year-old patient with megalocornea and coexisting corneal astigmatism. The corneal diameter in the right eye was 15.0 mm and in the left eye, 14.

Combined surgery for cataract and glaucoma: PDS with absorbable SK-gel implant compared with PDS with non-absorbable T-flux implant - medium-term results.

Objective: To compare the efficacy and safety of phacoemulsification - deep sclerectomy (PDS) with absorbable SK-gel or non-absorbable T-flux implantation.

Research Design And Method: The study involved eyes after PDS with SK-gel (32 eyes) and T-flux (20 eyes). Primary open angle glaucoma without satisfying intraocular pressure (IOP) control (> or =21 mmHg) despite maximally tolerated medication or with progression of the visual field and cataract was the indication for surgery.

Comparison of surgically induced astigmatism of temporal versus superior clear corneal incisions.

Purpose: Comparison of the astigmatism induced by the operation based on the 2.8 mm incisions in the clear cornea, performed by temporal approach and superior approach.

Material And Methods: Retrospective analysis was performed on the group of 65 patients (41 women and 24 men), mean age 74.

[Optic nerve damage in multiple sclerosis patients].

Purpose: The aim of the work was to catch the type of damage of optic nerve in the group of patients with multiple sclerosis.

Material And Methods: The examinations were held on 77 eyes of 40 patients with multiple sclerosis. Among them 11 patients had previous optic neuritis, 29 have not problems with vision.

[Surgery for involutional ectropion--case report].

In this paper authors described methods of surgery in involutional ectropion, surgical anatomy and changes in the lower eyelid due to aging. The surgical treatment of advanced involutional ectropion and its results is presented.
