Gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy using an illuminated catheter for infantile primary congenital glaucoma. Case series.

Purpose: To describe our experience of Gonioscopy-Assisted Transluminal Trabeculotomy (GATT) in four eyes with infantile primary congenital glaucoma (PCG).

Observations: We report the first two GATT procedures performed in six-month-old infants with PCG. We also report the same procedure in two eyes of a two-year-old boy with PCG who had previous goniotomies with subsequent peripheral anterior synechiae formation.

Giant coronary aneurysms producing chest pain.

Background: Coronary artery aneurysms (CAA) are defined as localized coronary artery dilations more than 1.5 times the diameter of the adjacent segments [1]. Giant coronary aneurysms (GCAA) are unusual and aneurysms on the left side are even rarer.

Macular Choroidal Thickening in Keratoconus Patients: Swept-Source Optical Coherence Tomography Study.

Purpose: To determine the choroidal thickness (CT) profile in keratoconus (KC) patients using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT).

Methods: This was a prospective, cross-sectional study. One hundred two eyes of 52 KC patients were studied using Pentacam and SS-OCT.

Doublecortin-positive cells in the adult primate cerebral cortex and possible role in brain plasticity and development.

We have demonstrated that cortical cell autografts might be a useful therapy in two monkey models of neurological disease: motor cortex lesion and Parkinson's disease. However, the origin of the useful transplanted cells obtained from cortical biopsies is not clear. In this report we describe the expression of doublecortin (DCX) in these cells based on reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunodetection in the adult primate cortex and cell cultures.
