Article Synopsis
- - Pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (PCME) is a complication of cataract surgery that can reduce vision, and the study investigates the effectiveness of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and corticosteroids to prevent it.
- - The research reviewed 18 randomized controlled trials involving nearly 3,000 participants, finding that NSAIDs significantly lower the incidence of PCME and improve visual acuity compared to placebo or steroids alone.
- - The conclusion emphasizes that NSAIDs, whether alone or with steroids, effectively reduce PCME risk, and suggests that further double-blind studies are necessary to create standardized preventive protocols for different patients.
Article Synopsis
- Burkitt lymphoma is a type of aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that can present as a rare solitary lesion in the central nervous system (CNS), which is also linked to acute sudden blindness.
- A case study describes a four-year-old boy exhibiting sudden bilateral vision loss, eye proptosis, and other alarming visual symptoms, leading to neuroimaging that revealed a mass at the base of his skull.
- A biopsy confirmed Burkitt lymphoma, and further genetic analysis diagnosed Kabuki syndrome, prompting the start of treatment with steroids and chemotherapy.
Corneal melt and perforation can arise from various etiologies, including the use of toxic topical drops, particularly topical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). The literature has frequently documented the association between the use of topical NSAIDs and the subsequent development of corneal ulcers. More recently, reports have emerged linking the use of oral NSAIDs and colchicine to impaired corneal wound healing and corneal perforation.

Purpose: Children with strabismus may face difficulties interacting with their peers in elementary school. This study investigates the psychosocial effect of different types of strabismus on Saudi children's selection of a playmate.
Methods: Photographs of orthotropic children were digitally modified to simulate various magnitudes of strabismus.
Background: The secondary hypertension (HTN) is the predominant form of HTN in pediatrics. Renal diseases and renovascular anomalies are the most commonly reported causes. In this study, we aimed to identify the prevalence, causes, and outcomes of secondary HTN in Saudi Arabia.

Background: We sought to evaluate the practice of double gloving among surgeons and to determine the factors that affect compliance with such practice at King Abdulaziz University Hospital (KAUH).
Methods: A survey was conducted among surgeons in active training from all departments at KAUH through the use of a questionnaire from May through July 2017.
Results: Of the 220 surgeons who worked at KAUH, 183 agreed to participate in the study for a response rate of 83.
