Optical coherence tomography angiography of the macular microcirculation in acute primary angle closure treated with phacoemulsification.

Purpose: To measure the changes of macular microcirculation in cases with unilateral acute primary angle closure (APAC) who were managed by phacoemulsification.

Methods: Patients with unilateral APAC and managed by phacoemulsification were enrolled. The contralateral unaffected eyes were served as fellow group, and normal individuals were recruited as control group.

[Clinical values and optimal cut-off points of basic vital signs in early identification of critical hand, foot, and mouth disease].

Objective: To study the clinical values of basic vital signs in early identification of critical hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD).

Methods: The clinical data of 358 children with severe HFMD [212 cases in stage 2 (central nervous system involvement) and 146 cases in stage 3 (earlier stage of cardiopulmonary failure, critical type)] were reviewed. The diagnostic values of peak temperature and duration of fever, as well as the heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in different age groups, for critical HFMD (stage 3) were analyzed using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.
