Uveitic Granulomas Masquerading as Ocular Tumors.

Introduction: Solitary uveal lesions confer a diagnostic challenge to ophthalmologists. Uveitic lesions most abundantly appear amelanotic and commonly involve the choroid. Most amelanotic choroidal lesions are either neoplastic or inflammatory in origin.

Scleral Buckle versus Pars Plana Vitrectomy in the Management of Primary Chronic Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment: A Comparison of Anatomical and Visual Outcomes.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to compare the anatomical and visual outcomes of scleral buckle (SB) surgery with the pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) in the management of chronic rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.

Methods: This cohort study included patients who underwent surgical repair SB group and PPV group for chronic retinal detachment during 2014-2018 at the King Khalid Eye Specialist Hospital, Riyadh. The anatomical and functional success rate at 12 months after surgery was compared in two groups.

Episcleral brachytherapy for retinoblastoma.

Background/aims: To report visual outcomes, survival outcomes and complications following episcleral brachytherapy (EB) for retinoblastoma.

Methods: Retrospective review of retinoblastoma cases treated with EB in a single institution. Survival outcomes were analysed using the Kaplan-Meier method.

Exploration of cotton leaf curl virus resistance genes and their screening in by targeting resistance gene analogues.

Cotton leaf curl virus (CLCuV) disease is one of the major limiting factors in cotton production, particularly in widely cultivated varieties that are susceptible to attack by this virus. Several approaches have been employed to explore putative resistance genes in another cotton species, . However, the exact mechanisms conferring disease resistance in cotton are still unknown.

Clinical Characteristics and Treatment of 308 Panuveitis Patients over 10 Years: Results from the KKESH Uveitis Survey Study Group.

: To describe the clinical characteristics and surgical outcomes of panuveitis over a 10-year period.: Data were collected on panuveitis etiology, treatment, surgery and change in vision.: Overall, 308 patients (594 eyes) were evaluated, 54.

Goniosynechialysis for secondary angle closure glaucoma in aphakic patient after pars plana vitrectomy.

Purpose: To report the effectiveness of Goniosynechialysis (GSL) treating elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in an aphakic eye with peripheral anterior synechiae (PAS) formation after vitrectomy.

Observations: A 39-year-old gentleman with history of lamellar keratoplasty for corneal ectasia and blunt trauma to the right eye necessitating vitrectomy and lensectomy presented to our glaucoma unit with a secondary angle closure and an IOP of 50 mmHg. This was successfully treated with GSL and one year after surgery, the patient maintains a normal IOP without the use of medication.

Humic Substances: Determining Potential Molecular Regulatory Processes in Plants.

Humic substances (HSs) have considerable effects on soil fertility and crop productivity owing to their unique physiochemical and biochemical properties, and play a vital role in establishing biotic and abiotic interactions within the plant rhizosphere. A comprehensive understanding of the mode of action and tissue distribution of HS is, however, required, as this knowledge could be useful for devising advanced rhizospheric management practices. These substances trigger various molecular processes in plant cells, and can strengthen the plant's tolerance to various kinds of abiotic stresses.

Extranodal Marginal Zone Lymphoma of Ocular Adnexa: Outcomes following Radiation Therapy.

Aim: The aim of this study was to report outcomes following radiation therapy in patients with biopsy-proven extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of the ocular adnexa and uvea.

Methods: Records from a single institution were retrospectively reviewed from January 1997 to December 2015. The mean follow-up duration was 38 months (range 0-194).

The outcomes and prognostic factors of vitrectomy in chronic diabetic traction macular detachment.

Purpose: To investigate the outcomes of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for chronic diabetic traction macular detachment (CTMD).

Methods: Ninety-six eyes that underwent PPV for CTMD of at least 6 months duration were retrospectively analyzed. Retinal reattachment rate, final vision, and prognostic factors for poor visual outcome were the main outcome measures.

Episcleral brachytherapy of uveal melanoma: role of intraoperative echographic confirmation.

Purpose: To compare the rates of tumour recurrence following episcleral brachytherapy for uveal melanoma before and after implementation of intraoperative echographic confirmation of plaque placement.

Materials And Methods: All patients with primary single ciliary body or choroidal melanoma treated with iodine-125 or ruthenium-106 plaque brachytherapy between 1 January 2004 and 30 December 2013 were included. Exclusion criteria were patients with previous radiation treatment and patients who received adjuvant transpupillary thermotherapy.

Atypical Presentation of Ocular Toxoplasmosis: A Case Report of Exudative Retinal Detachment and Choroidal Ischemia.

A 24-year-old healthy male presented with a chief complaint of blurred vision in the right eye for 1-week. Fundus examination indicated right exudative retinal detachment and choroidal ischemia. The patient responded well to anti-toxoplasmosis medications and steroids.

The possible antianginal effect of allopurinol in vasopressin-induced ischemic model in rats.

The anti-anginal effects of allopurinol were assessed in experimental model rats of angina and their effects were evaluated with amlodipine. In the vasopressin-induced angina model, oral administration of allopurinol in dose of 10 mg/kg revealed remarkably analogous effects in comparison with amlodipine such as dose-dependent suppression of vasopressin-triggered time, duration and severity of ST depression. In addition, allopurinol produced dose dependent suppression of plasma Malondialdehyde (MDA) level, systolic blood pressure, cardiac contractility and cardiac oxygen consumption; while in contrast, amlodipine minimally suppressed the elevation of plasma MDA level.

Uveitis in Behçet disease in a tertiary center over 25 years: the KKESH Uveitis Survey Study Group.

Purpose: To describe the features of Behçet-associated uveitis over a 25-year period.

Design: Retrospective observational case series.

Methods: A chart review of patients with Behçet-associated uveitis who were evaluated from January 1986 to December 2011 at King Khaled Eye Specialist Hospital, Saudi Arabia.
