Purpose: To compare the visual outcomes and occurrences of postoperative complications after 23-gauge (G) and 25-G microincision vitrectomy surgery (MIVS) for idiopathic epiretinal membrane in pseudophakic eyes.
Methods: A total of 239 pseudophakic eyes of 239 patients who underwent 23-G (n = 159) or 25-G MIVS (n = 80) for removal of idiopathic epiretinal membrane between March 2010 and March 2013 were included in this retrospective study. Patients were followed up on postoperative 1 day, 1 week, 1, 3, and 6 months.
Article Synopsis
- Red ginseng extracts, specifically pectin lyase-modified red ginseng (GS-E3D), have been studied for their potential health benefits regarding obesity and metabolic disorders.
- In experiments with high-fat diet-fed obese mice, GS-E3D showed a dose-dependent reduction in harmful metabolic markers like glucose, cholesterol levels, and liver fat.
- The study indicates that GS-E3D could be a beneficial dietary supplement for reducing adipogenesis and improving health outcomes related to obesity.
Background: Inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) is recommended in the management of patients with asthma-chronic obstructive pulmonary disease overlap syndrome (ACOS), but its effectiveness has not been clearly proved.
Objective: To evaluate whether ICS has effects on outcomes of ACOS.
Methods: In this observational 12-year retrospective cohort study involving 125 patients with ACOS from Seoul National University Hospital, the annual rate of decrease in forced expiration volume in 1 second, the incidence rate of severe exacerbation, and overall mortality in an ICS-treated group were compared with those in a non-ICS-treated group.

Background: To evaluate the efficacy of timolol-dorzolamide drops used to decrease aqueous outflow from the eye on the prolongation of the biological activity of intravitreal bevacizumab.
Methods: Thirty-eight eyes of 38 patients with macular edema (ME) following retinal vein obstruction (RVO) were enrolled. These patients were randomly assigned into 2 groups: timolol-dorzolamide drops twice daily (n = 19) or no eyedrops (control; n = 19).
To report a case of cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis after intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide (IVTA). A 77-year-old woman with macular edema due to central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) developed peripheral retinitis 4 months after IVTA. A diagnostic anterior chamber paracentesis was performed to obtain DNA for a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test for viral retinitis.

We analyzed clinical, pathological and immunohistochemical staining patterns in 31 cases of EMPD to assess possible predictors of outcome, including patient age, sex, involved organs, surgical margin status, invasion depth, lymphovascular invasion, adnexal invasion, and immunoreactivity for cytokeratin 7 and 20, carcinoembryonic androgen, androgen receptor, p53, c-erbB-2 (Dako, Carpinteria, California) and Ki67.
Materials And Methods: A total of 31 cases of EMPD were retrieved from the surgical pathology files of the department of pathology along with the medical records of the department of urology.
