Background: This systematic review and meta-analysis investigated different treatment modalities' effect on the risk of central nervous system lymphoma progression, ocular disease relapse, systemic lymphoma development and overall survival in primary vitreoretinal lymphoma patients.
Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus and the Cochrane Library of clinical trials were searched from inception to April 21, 2024. Cohort, cross-sectional and case series studies were included.
Aims: This study aims to compare the clinical outcome of Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) and ultrathin Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (UT-DSAEK) in patients with corneal endothelial dysfunction due to Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy or pseudophakic bullous keratopathy.
Methods: We conducted a meta-analysis using a literature search of Embase, PubMed, Cochrane CENTRAL, ClinicalTrials.gov and WHO ICTRP databases.
Article Synopsis
- During combined phacovitrectomy, suturing the main corneal incision is typically done to avoid leaks, but this study explores the use of a self-sealing technique instead.
- The study reviewed cases from a university hospital where surgeons performed surgeries without planned sutures, only using them if needed due to complications.
- Results showed that only 5% of cases required suturing for leaks, indicating that preventive suturing may not be necessary and can be selectively applied when complications occur.
Decreased blood flow to the optic nerve (ON) and neuroinflammation are suggested to play an important role in the pathophysiology of glaucoma. This study investigated the potential neuroprotective effect of azithromycin, an anti-inflammatory macrolide, and sildenafil, a selective phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor, on retinal ganglion cell survival in a glaucoma model, which was induced by microbead injection into the right anterior chamber of 50 wild-type (WT) and 30 transgenic toll-like receptor 4 knockout (TLR4KO) mice. Treatment groups included intraperitoneal azithromycin 0.

CCC enables safer and relatively convenient access to the crystalline lens, however it is more challenging to master than older methods. Understanding the physics underlying this procedure is key to achieving the desired results and avoiding complications.
