Published: August 2012

The current paper presents a case of unique presentation of idiopathic uveal effusion syndrome. The 28 years old patient with combined bilateral choroidal and retinal detachment, recurrent in the left eye, underwent surgical procedures. He was treated with lamellar sclerectomy under the scleral flap in both eyes and another sclerectomy in the left eye later on. The apposition of the retina was achieved in both eyes and visual acuity improved significantly. Three months later, the patient developed anterior ischemic optic neuropathy in the right eye. In left eye after cataract phacoemulsification, persisted cystoid macular edema appeared.

Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy, safety, and stability of EyeCryl Phakic intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.

Methodology: This retrospective study was conducted in Maghrabi Hospital in Medina to review 31 patients who underwent posterior chamber phakic IOL (EyeCryl Phakic IOL) for surgical correction of myopia or astigmatism. The data were collected from patient medical records after obtaining their consents.

Purpose: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) affects blood vessels, internal organs, and skin. In ophthalmology, SSc impacts the choroid. The choroidal vascularity index (CVI) measures the vascular component of the choroid and may serve as a biomarker for the disease staging and prognosis.

Coats disease is a rare abnormality characterized with retinal telangiectasia and aneurysms with retinal exudation, most often seen in young males and usually affecting only one eye. A 12-year-old boy came in with a three-month history of vision loss and pain in his right eye, alongside progressively worsening blurred vision over the last year. His visual acuity was reduced to only light perception in the right eye, while his left eye maintained 5/5 vision.

Purpose: Radiation protection glasses reduce eye lens exposure in Interventional Radiology (IR). However, the protection ratio differs for the lead equivalent content and shape of the lenses. This study aimed to examine factors effective in reducing the lens dose by measuring the protection ratio of scattered radiation due to changes in the surgeon's face orientation, various lead equivalents, and shapes.

VNS-induced dose-dependent pupillary response in refractory epilepsy.

Clin Neurophysiol

January 2025

Institute of Neuroscience (IoNS), Catholic University of Louvain, Brussels, Belgium; Walloon Excellence in Life Sciences and Biotechnology (WELBIO) Department, WEL Research Institute, Avenue Pasteur 6, 1300 Wavre, Belgium; Center for Refractory Epilepsy, Department of Neurology, Cliniques Universitaires Saint-Luc, Brussels, Belgium.

Purpose: The Locus Coeruleus (LC) plays a vital role by releasing norepinephrine, which contributes to the antiepileptic effects of Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS). LC activity also influences pupil dilation. Investigating VNS dose-dependent Pupillary Dilation Response (PDR) may provide novel neurophysiological insights into therapeutic response and allow for an objective and personalized optimization of stimulation parameters.
