EFFECTS OF HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE PLUS FAVIPIRAVIR TREATMENT ON THE CLINICAL COURSE AND BIOMARKERS IN HOSPITALIZED COVID-19 PATIENTS WITH PNEUMONIA.

Background: The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations, the most common serious clinical manifestation of the coronavirus infection being pneumonia. Unfortunately, the optimal treatment approach is still uncertain. However, many studies have been conducted on the effectiveness of several medications in the treatment of COVID-19 infection.

Correlation between intraocular pressure obtained with water drinking test versus modified diurnal tension curve measurement in pseudoexfoliation glaucoma.

Purpose: The aim of this paper was to study the correlation and agreement between the intraocular pressure (IOP) peak value and fluctuations detected with the modified diurnal tension curve (mDTC) and the water drinking test (WDT) in pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (XFG) patients.

Methods: This prospective observational study enrolled 42 eyes of 42 XFG patients. The IOPs were measured at 2-h intervals from 8 am to 4 pm with a Goldmann applanation tonometer by a single observer to establish the mDTC.

Choroidal neovascularization secondary to ocular penetration during retrobulbar anesthesia and its treatment.

Retrobulbar anesthesia is still used before ocular surgery; however, it has various complications including ocular penetration. The penetration/perforation of the globe can cause complications such as endophthalmitis, retinal detachment, and scotoma. Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is rarely seen, following choroidal rupture in penetrating eye injuries.
