Severe Acute Ischemia of Glans Penis after Achieving Treatment with Only Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy: A Rare Case Report and Systematic Literature Review.

Acute ischemia of the glands is a severe complication after circumcision. We outline the challenging case of a seventeen-year-old boy with glandular ischemia (GI) that appeared shortly after circumcision. Methods: We present a case report and literature review related to glans ischemia, and the complications of circumcision are reviewed.

Retromode Imaging in Age-Related Macular Degeneration.

: Retromode is a relatively new retinal-imaging technique that is based on the transillumination principle and is obtained with a scanning laser ophthalmoscope that uses light in the infrared spectrum. The laser light penetrates into the deep retinal layers and the choroid. Retromode images are captured with a laterally displaced aperture, and the detector captures only the scattered light.

Positive Effect Induced by Plasma Treatment of Seeds on the Agricultural Performance of Sunflower.

The need for efficient technologies to enhance productivity in agriculture strongly motivates research on plasma treatment of seeds and plants. In this study, the influence of plasma treatment on sunflower ( L.) seeds was evidenced throughout the entire life span of the plants.

Failure in Medical Practice: Human Error, System Failure, or Case Severity?

The success rate in medical practice will probably never reach 100%. Success rates depend on many factors. Defining the success rate is both a technical and a philosophical issue.

Comparative hematological profiles for dose-dense vs. regular anthracycline-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy in non-metastatic breast cancer.

The aim of the present study was to examine both the feasibility and toxicity of neoadjuvant dose-dense chemotherapy in women with non-metastatic breast cancer. A search within the OncoHelp Association breast cancer database has been performed in order to identify all non-metastatic breast cancer patients who underwent an initial consultation with a medical oncologist between March 2016 and April 2020. The inclusion criteria used were: i) Age, ii) follow-up care obtained at OncoHelp Association, iii) the intent to treat with a neoadjuvant dose-dense anthracycline every two weeks for four cycles (C1-C4) followed by paclitaxel every two weeks for four cycles, with white blood cell growth factor support, and iv) regular anthracycline-based chemotherapy every three weeks for four cycles, followed by paclitaxel every three weeks for four cycles, v) weight, vi) height, vii) Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status, viii) hemoglobin (Hb) level, ix) Platelet count and x) neutrophil count.

Vital dyes in macular hole surgery.

Currently, surgical techniques, such as internal limiting membrane peeling, are used widely for macular holes, macular puckers, epiretinal membranes, diabetic macular edema, retinal detachment, retinal vein occlusions, vitreomacular traction, optic pit maculopathy, and Terson syndrome. This study aimed to highlight any differences regarding visual acuity and ocular tomography coherence changes after staining the internal limiting membrane with dilutions of Brilliant Blue G vs. lutein/zeaxanthin-based dyes.

Femtosecond-LASIK outcomes using the VisuMax-MEL 80 platform for hyperopia and hyperopic astigmatism refractive surgery.

The present study evaluated the efficacy, the safety and the predictability of the Femtosecond laser-assisted keratomileusis (Femto-LASIK) procedure for hyperopia and hyperopic astigmatism. We retrospectively analyzed the postoperative 12-month evolution of 593 eyes with hyperopia and hyperopic astigmatism that underwent Femto-LASIK treatment. The procedure was predictable and effective.

Cumulative visual impact of two coagulability disorders: A case report.

Cumulative visual impact of two coagulability disorders were reviewed by presenting a case of a young female patient with a spontaneous abortion and two thromboembolic events in 8 years, whose visual function was severely affected. The particularities of her genetic constellation regarding the retinal circulation are also discussed. The patient developed a central retinal artery occlusion in the right eye during pregnancy in 2010, which led to an extended hematological workup that revealed presence of MTHFR C677T and MTHFR A1298C heterozygote mutations.

[Intraoperative complications in extracapsular extraction with a posterior-chamber lens implant. Medical record data].

This scientific work includes the retrospective study of the intra-operatory complications in 150 cases of cataract operated eyes, using extracapsular implant of artificial crystalline in the posterior chamber; the study is based on the operatory data file, filled in by the surgeon immediately after the operation. The data file we are submitting to your attention can be registered on a floppy disk; it includes the most important data concerning the patient, the type of the cataract, the operatory techniques, the incidents that might occur and the most appropriate method to solve them. The registration on file of the operatory data has proven its efficiency while grouping, inventorying and processing data, but also while determining the conclusions of the prophylactic measures.

[Posterior capsule opacification after extracapsular extraction with a posterior chamber implant].

The opacity of posterior capsule after the extracapsular extraction of the crystalline with implant of an artificial crystalline in the posterior chamber is a post-operatory complication which is meeting in 5.33% operated eyes with a subjective consequence which is a visual acuity diminuation with the appearance of some bright bands in the visual field of the operated eyes especially in the night. The principal reasons was founded to be the patient age and the disposal of pseudophakia in the ciliary sulcus what is permitting the contact of the anterior chamber's remains with the posterior capsule which is the place of beginning to the epithelium proliferation.
