The influence of zinc levels on osteoarthritis: A comprehensive review.

Osteoarthritis (OA), a disease with a multifactorial aetiology and an enigmatic root cause, affects the quality of life of many elderly patients. Even though there are certain medications utilised to reduce the symptomatic effects, a reliable treatment method to reverse the disease is yet to be discovered. Zinc is a cofactor of over 3000 proteins and is the only metal found in all six classes of enzymes.

Cystoid macular edema secondary to gyrate atrophy in a child treated with sub-tenon injection of triamcinolone acetonide.

Gyrate atrophy (GA) of the fundus is a rare, progressive metabolic disease secondary to the deficiency of the pyridoxal phosphate-dependent enzyme, ornithine aminotransferase. GA may lead to cystoid macular edema (CME) resulting from chronic inflammation. We aimed to report a child case with CME secondary to gyrate atrophy.

Optical coherence tomography angiography findings in a case with acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy.

Twenty-six-year-old male patient admitted to the outpatient clinic with a complaint of decreased vision in both eyes. Visual acuity was 2/10 in the right and 7/10 in the left eye. Fundus examination revealed bilateral yellow-white subretinal lesions involving the macula.

YouTube as a source of information in retinopathy of prematurity.

Aim: We aimed to evaluate the quality of information available on YouTube regarding the basic information, examination, diagnosis, and the treatment of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).

Methods: A YouTube search was performed on https://www.youtube.

Peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer and macular ganglion cell complex thickness in patients with chronic phase of nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy.

We aimed to investigate the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) and macular ganglion cell complex (mGCC) thickness in patients with chronic phase of nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (crNAION) analyzed by spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). Patients with crNAION, and healthy control subjects were enrolled in the study. All participants underwent SD-OCT for measurement of pRNFL, mGCC, and central macular thickness (CMT).

Laryngohyoid Fractures in Fatal Nonhomicidal Falls From a Height.

In cases of fall from a height, the presence of laryngohyoid fracture or bleeding at autopsy constitutes a suspicion of strangulation before trauma in these types of cases. This study has aimed to investigate the incidence of laryngohyoid fractures in nonhomicidal fall from height cases, and their relationship with age, sex, height of fall, body mass index, and other injuries.A total of 170 cases proven to be nonhomicidal falls from height with certain witnesses and evidences in 4683 autopsy cases in 2013 were included in this study.

Early detection of macular and peripapillary changes with spectralis optical coherence tomography in patients with prediabetes.

Purpose: To compare the retina ganglion cell complex (GCC) layer and peripapillary nerve fibre layer thickness (pRNFL) in patients with prediabetes and healthy subjects analysed by spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).

Methods: This cross-sectional and comparative study included prediabetic patients and healthy subjects. All participants underwent SD-OCT measurement of pRNFL thickness, and GCC thickness.

OCTA Imaging of Choroidal Neovascular Membrane Secondary to Toxoplasma Retinochoroiditis.

Two patients (a 37-year-old man and a 28-year-old woman) who had choroidal neovascular membrane (CNVM) secondary to inactive toxoplasma retinochoroiditis scarring were evaluated. Multimodal imaging including fluorescein angiography, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and OCT angiography (OCTA) was used. CNVM secondary to inactive toxoplasma retinochoroiditis scarring was detected.

Variations in the Vascular Anatomy of the Right Colon and Implications for Right-Sided Colon Surgery.

Background: Knowledge of the normal pattern and variations of the blood supply of the right colon is crucial for better outcomes after colon surgery.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to describe the precise vascular anatomy of the right colon according to surgical perspective.

Design: Adult fresh cadavers were dissected between January 2013 and October 2015, focusing on the venous and arterial anatomy of the right side of the colon.

Retina ganglion cell/inner plexiform layer and peripapillary nerve fiber layer thickness in patients with acromegaly.

Increased secretion of growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor-1 in acromegaly has various effects on multiple organs. However, the ocular effects of acromegaly have yet to be investigated in detail. The aim of the present study was to compare retina ganglion cell/inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) and peripapillary nerve fiber layer thickness (pRNFL) between patients with acromegaly and healthy control subjects using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).
