Choroidal Effusions after Glaucoma Drainage Implant Surgery: Risk Factors and Surgical Management.

Objective: To report the incidence of patients who developed choroidal effusions after glaucoma drainage implant (GDI) surgery and determine risk factors for and outcomes of surgical intervention.

Design: Retrospective case series.

Subjects: Medical records of 605 patients who underwent GDI surgery from January 1, 2017 to June 7, 2021 at New York University Langone Health and New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai were reviewed.

Outcomes of Glaucoma Reoperations in the Primary Tube Versus Trabeculectomy Study.

Purpose: To describe the incidence and outcomes of reoperations for glaucoma in the Primary Tube Versus Trabeculectomy (PTVT) Study.

Design: Cohort study of patients in a multicenter randomized clinical trial.

Participants: The PTVT Study enrolled 242 patients with medically uncontrolled glaucoma and no previous incisional ocular surgery.

A novel glaucoma approach: Stem cell regeneration of the trabecular meshwork.

Glaucoma is the leading cause of global irreversible blindness, necessitating research for new, more efficacious treatment options than currently exist. Trabecular meshwork (TM) cells play an important role in the maintenance and function of the aqueous outflow pathway, and studies have found that there is decreased cellularity of the TM in glaucoma. Regeneration of the TM with stem cells has been proposed as a novel therapeutic option by several reports over the last few decades.

Myositis of an Extraocular Muscle, a Possible Drug Reaction: Histopathologic and Immunopathologic Analysis.

A 58-year-old man presented with left-sided orbital inflammation, including chemosis and a lateral rectus abduction defect. Initially presumed to represent cellulitis, the condition responded poorly to oral and intravenous antibiotics. CT showed the epicenter of an infiltrate to involve the lateral rectus.

PARACENTRAL ACUTE MIDDLE MACULOPATHY ASSOCIATED WITH HYPERCOAGULABILITY IN PREGNANCY.

Purpose: To report a case of paracentral acute middle maculopathy in an otherwise healthy young, multiparous woman in her second trimester of pregnancy.

Methods: A case report.

Results: A 38-year-old woman in her twentieth week of pregnancy presented with a four-day history of an acute paracentral scotoma in her left eye.

Racial differences in neighborhood disadvantage, inflammation and metabolic control in black and white pediatric type 1 diabetes patients.

Background: Racial variation in the relationship between blood glucose and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) complicates diabetes diagnosis and management in racially mixed populations. Understanding why HbA1c is persistently higher in blacks than whites could help reduce racial disparity in diabetes outcomes.

Objective: Test the hypothesis that neighborhood disadvantage is associated with inflammation and poor metabolic control in a racially mixed population of pediatric type 1 diabetes patients.
