Structural reversal of disc cupping measured in Bruch's membrane opening-based OCT morphometry after PRESERFLO microshunt implantation for open-angle glaucoma.
BMC Ophthalmol
January 2025
Department of Ophthalmology, Medical Faculty, University Hospital of Cologne, Kerpener Strasse 62, 50937, Cologne, Germany.
Background/ Aims: To analyze the longitudinal change in Bruch's membrane opening minimal rim width (BMO-MRW) and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) thickness using optical coherence tomography (OCT) after implantation of a PRESERFLO® microshunt for surgical glaucoma management in adult glaucoma patients.
Methods: Retrospective data analysis of 59 eyes of 59 participants undergoing implantation of a PRESERFLO microshunt between 2019 and 2022 at a tertiary center for glaucoma management. Surgical management included primary temporary occlusion of the glaucoma shunt to prevent early hypotony.
Permanent hypoparathyroidism following total thyroidectomy - Incidence and preventative strategies without imaging adjuncts.
Am J Surg
January 2025
Department of Endocrine Surgery, Royal North Shore Hospital, Northern Sydney Local Health District, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia; Northern Clinical School, Sydney Medical School, Faculty of Medicine and Health, University of Sydney, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
Introduction: Permanent hypoparathyroidism (pHypoPT) is the most common permanent complication of total thyroidectomy. We aim to describe the incidence and predictors of hypoparathyroidism in a consecutive series of patients treated in a high-volume centre and define strategies to reduce the risk of pHypoPT.
Methods: 1182 patients who underwent total thyroidectomy between April 2018 and June 2022 were analyzed.
Tailored Perioperative Medicine For Frail Patients Undergoing Vascular Surgery: A Narrative Review.
Port J Card Thorac Vasc Surg
October 2024
Department of Anesthesiology, Unidade Local de Saúde de Santa Maria, Portugal.
Frailty is a concept that is emerging as an important tool in the preoperative assessment of patients. The incidence of frailty in vascular surgery patients is high and is expected to increase concomitantly with the aging of the population. The identification of these patients and their optimization in the perioperative period can lead to an improvement in their outcomes with a reduction in morbidity and mortality.

Cornea
January 2025
Department of Ophthalmology, Saitama Medical University, Saitama, Japan.
Purpose: This study aimed to describe a novel technique of direct anterior chamber (AC) air replacement (DACAR) for the management of Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) in postvitrectomized eyes and eyes with previous glaucoma surgery.
Methods: DACAR was performed after a corneal donor graft was transplanted through a wound using the pull-through technique. DACAR involves stabilizing the graft with forceps while introducing air into the AC via an infusion cannula to ensure complete air exchange.
Lumbar total disk replacement versus microsurgical lumbar discectomy in treatment of radicular and back pain in railway workers: a prospective randomized controlled trial.

December 2024
Department of Neurosurgery, Asfendiyarov Kazakh National Medical University, Almaty, Kazakhstan.
Background: Currently, there remains a high percentage of complications after lumbar discectomy, while there is no uniform tactic to prevent their development. Purpose of the study was to compare the clinical efficacy and return to work rate (RWR) after total disk replacement (TDR) and microsurgical lumbar discectomy (MLD) in railway workers with lumbar disk herniation (LDH).
Methods: We randomly assigned 75 patients out of a total of 81 patients, between 25 and 35 years of age who had one level LDH to undergo single-level TDR surgery (group I, n=37) or MLD surgery (group II, n=38) in the L4-L5 or L5-S1 segments.
