Article Synopsis
- Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a major cause of childhood blindness, affecting 31.9% of premature infants, with 7.5% having severe cases; identifying risk factors is crucial for better detection and treatment.
- A study at the Medical University of Vienna analyzed 352 premature infants (GA ≤ 32 weeks, BW ≤ 1500 g), finding that 40.9% had ROP, with significant risk factors being lower gestational age (GA) and birth weight (BW).
- The most common treatment was laser therapy, leading to initial regression in 82.4% of treated infants; the research emphasizes the importance of GA and BW in early detection and treatment decision-making for ROP
Purpose: Strabismus sursoadductorius is the most common strabismus of the oblique eye muscles. The changes in squint angle, elevation in adduction, abnormal head posture and binocular vision were collected to get an overview of the results at the largest clinic in Austria.
Methods: This study is a retrospective study.
Purpose: To assess the characteristics and long-term outcomes of adult patients with dysthyroid optic neuropathy (DON) who underwent orbital decompression surgery and/or received intravenous (IV) methylprednisolone.
Methods: Retrospective chart review of 98 eyes of 49 patients who were diagnosed and treated with bilateral DON between 2007 and 2018 at the Department of Ophthalmology and Optometry and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of the Medical University of Vienna.
Results: The mean follow-up period was 4.
Current therapeutic approaches for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) focus on the suppression of oncogenic kinase signaling. Here, we test the hypothesis that targeted hyperactivation of the phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate/AKT (PI3K/AKT)-signaling pathway may be leveraged to trigger CLL cell death. Though counterintuitive, our data show that genetic hyperactivation of PI3K/AKT-signaling or blocking the activity of the inhibitory phosphatase SH2-containing-inositol-5'-phosphatase-1 (SHIP1) induces acute cell death in CLL cells.

Methods: Clinical data of 127 patients treated for SGC at a university cancer center between 2002 and 2017 were analyzed retrospectively. The association of clinicopathological characteristics, treatment modalities, adverse events, and outcome was assessed.
