Purpose: To evaluate and compare the findings of MP and OCT in patients with inactive Behçet's uveitis (BU).
Methods: Sixty-five eyes of 38 patients were included in this retrospective study. Ophthalmologic examination findings and OCT and MP results were recorded.
Evaluation of the effects of insulin resistance on ECG parameters in obese children.
Eur Rev Med Pharmacol Sci
September 2023
Article Synopsis
- Obese children face a higher risk of arrhythmias and sudden death, even if they don’t have heart dysfunction, due to factors like insulin resistance and neurohumoral changes.
- A study involving 50 obese children assessed various heart rhythm parameters using 12-lead ECGs, focusing on factors like Tp-e time and QT intervals to determine risks associated with ventricular arrhythmia.
- Results indicated that obese children, especially those with insulin resistance, showed significant changes in heart rhythm parameters, suggesting the need for regular monitoring of their heart health through ECGs and Holter monitoring to prevent potential arrhythmias.
Objectives: To compare reading parameters measured with the Turkish version of the Minnesota Low Vision Reading Test (MNREAD-TR) printed acuity chart and the tablet application version of the same test for both normally sighted and low-vision individuals.
Materials And Methods: A total of 116 individuals (92 normally sighted and 24 low-vision) were included in the study. All participants were tested with both the print version of the MNREAD-TR chart (method 1) and the tablet application version (method 2).
Fixation Stability and Preferred Retinal Locus in Advanced Age-Related Macular Degeneration.
Turk J Ophthalmol
February 2022
Objectives: To evaluate fixation stability and characteristics of the preferred retinal locus (PRL) in patients with advanced age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Materials And Methods: Sixty-three eyes of 63 patients with AMD who presented to the low vision unit were included in this prospective study. Sociodemographic characteristics, eye examination findings, and reading performance results with the Minnesota Low Vision Reading test were evaluated.
Comparison of Quality of Life Questionnaires in Patients with Low Vision.
Turk J Ophthalmol
April 2021
Objectives: To compare the quality of life assessed by the Low Vision Quality of Life Questionnaire (LVQOL) and National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire (NEI VFQ-25) in patients with low vision.
Materials And Methods: A total of 64 consecutive patients who presented to the Ankara University Low Vision Rehabilitation Department for the first time were included in the study. Patients aged 18 or older who had a best-corrected visual acuity of less than 20/60 or a visual field of equal to or less than 20° from the fixation point in the better eye were included.
