Article Synopsis
- The study presents a new automated technique for cataract surgery to prevent the "Argentinian Flag sign," which can occur during capsulorhexis in intumescent cataracts, by using an insulin needle for simultaneous puncture and decompression of the capsular bag.
- Conducted at two medical facilities in São Paulo, Brazil, the prospective interventional study involved 88 patients with white or intumescent cataracts, utilizing standard surgical procedures and equipment.
- Results showed no complications, with a perfect 100% success rate for achieving a continuous and well-centered capsulorhexis in all cases.
Purpose: To evaluate the effects of intraluminal injection of glutamine on the serum trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity in an experimental model of ischemia-reperfusion of the liver observing the applicability of modifications on the original assay method.
Methods: Thirty Wistar rats underwent laparotomy to perform a 20 cm blind sac of small bowel and occlusion of the hepatic hilo for 30 minutes and reperfusion for 5 minutes. Into the gut sac it was injected glutamine (glutamine group, n=10) or distilled water (control group, n=10).
