Purpose: To investigate whether sub-Tenon injection of triamcinolone acetonide (STTA) combined with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) prolongs the recurrence intervals of macular edema (ME) for chronic retinal vein occlusion (RVO) and to investigate the differences in intraocular inflammatory cytokines between good responders (GRs) and non-responders (NRs).
Methods: This retrospective, observational study involved 42 eyes of 42 patients with ME due to chronic RVO who had received only anti-VEGF for ≥ 1 year and were transitioned to combination therapy. GRs were defined as patients whose recurrence intervals were prolonged by ≥ 2 weeks compared with patients receiving anti-VEGF alone.

The dearth of approved products to treat oral lichen planus (OLP) compels off-label use of dermatological corticosteroid formulations not optimized for indications in the oral cavity. The aims of this study were to develop aqueous micelle based formulations of triamcinolone acetonide (TA) and fluocinonide (FLU), using D-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol succinate, and to investigate corticosteroid delivery to the epithelium-lamina propria junction region - the anatomical target for OLP treatment - in comparison to that from marketed products. Total mucosal deposition of TA after application of Kenacort® A Orabase® (0.

Dexamethasone (DXM) is a commonly used corticosteroid in the treatment of ocular inflammatory conditions that affect more and more people. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the combination of hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPBCD), in situ gelling formulations, and other mucoadhesive polymers, i.e.

Corneal transplantation is a critical surgical procedure aimed at restoring vision in patients with corneal blindness or severe damage. This review focuses on secondary glaucoma, a significant postoperative complication, with the primary objective of providing a comprehensive analysis of its pathophysiology, risk factors, diagnostic challenges, and therapeutic approaches. Unlike other reviews, this work emphasizes the interplay between inflammatory responses, corticosteroid use, and structural changes in the eye that lead to elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) after transplantation.
