The Relationship between Serum Carbonic Anhydrase I-II Autoantibody Levels and Diabetic Retinopathy in Type 1 Diabetes Patients.

Objectives: To investigate the relationship between serum carbonic anhydrase I-II (CA-I and II) autoantibody levels and diabetic retinopathy (DRP) in cases with type 1 diabetes.

Materials And Methods: A total of 37 type-1 diabetic patients, 17 with DRP (group 1) and 20 without (group 2), and 38 healthy control subjects (group 3) were included. CA-I and CA-II autoantibody levels were measured in serum samples obtained from each of the three groups and compared statistically.

Evaluation of the Repeatability and the Reproducibility of AL-Scan Measurements Obtained by Residents.

Purpose. To assess the repeatability and reproducibility of ocular biometry and intraocular lens (IOL) power measurements obtained by ophthalmology residents using an AL-Scan device, a novel optical biometer. Methods.

Evaluation of choroidal thickness in ankylosing spondylitis using optical coherence tomography.

Unlabelled: Abstract Purpose: To investigate posterior segment (PS) findings in the eye in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS).

Methods: Eighty-four patients with AS and 63 healthy controls were enrolled. PS evaluations were performed using optical coherence tomography (OCT).

Effects of phacoemulsification surgery on ocular hemodynamics.

Aim: To evaluate the possible effects of phacoemulsification cataract surgery on ocular hemodynamics.

Methods: In this prospective study, intraocular pressure (IOP), pulsatile ocular blood flow (POBF), and ocular pulse amplitude (OPA) were measured pre-operatively (baseline) and at 1 week and 3 weeks postoperation in 52 eyes of 26 patients (mean age 63.15±10.
