Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of balloon angioplasty as a primary treatment method for intracranial atherosclerosis-related large vessel occlusion (ICAS-ELVO), suggesting it may be superior to mechanical thrombectomy, especially in cases with small clot burdens.
- Analysis of 76 patients shows that those who received balloon angioplasty had higher rates of successful recanalization and complete reperfusion, shorter time to treatment, and reduced costs compared to those who underwent mechanical thrombectomy.
- The results indicate that balloon angioplasty could lead to better functional outcomes after 90 days, making it a potentially better first-line strategy for treating ICAS-ELVO patients experiencing the "first-pass effect."
Aim: To explore a new diagnostic index for differentiating the evaporative dry eye (EDE) subtypes by analysis of their respective clinical characteristics.
Methods: A cross-sectional study of 139 patients (139 eyes) with EDE who were enrolled and classified as obstructive meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) (=81) and non-obstructive MGD (=58) EDE. All patients completed a Standard Patient Evaluation of Eye Dryness (SPEED) questionnaire and were evaluated for average lipid layer thickness (LLT), tear meniscus height measurements (TMH), tear break-up time (TBUT), ocular surface staining score, Schirmer I test (SIT), lid margin abnormalities, and meibomian gland function and morphology.
Aim: To investigate the effects of different concentrations of artificial tears on lipid layer thickness (LLT) and blink rate (BR) in dry eye patients.
Methods: This study included 106 eyes of 58 patients with dry eye. The lipid deficiency type was defined as the LLT baseline <75 nm.
