Introduction: Effectiveness Evaluation of One-Day Simultaneous Bilateral Cataract Surgery (SBCS) Comparing to the Cataract Surgery Performed on Each Eye Separately After a Lapse of Time.
Material And Methods: The cohort of 100 patients (200 eyes) consisted of two groups: In the Group1, there were 50 patients (100 eyes) who underwent One-day Simultaneous Bilateral Cataract Surgery (SBCS). The Group 2 consisted 50 patients (100 eyes) who had the surgery on one eye first, and later on the fellow eye. The course of the surgery, peroperative and postoperative complications were evaluated. The patients from the Group 1 were examined at the first postoperative day. In the next course, all patients were examined one week, one month, and 3 months after the surgery. In the postoperative phase were, besides the complications, the final visual acuity and refraction and its deviations from the target refraction followed up.
Results: Course of the surgery, peroperative and postoperative complications are comparable in both groups. Endophthalmitis, or other more serious postoperative complications did not appear in either group. Three months after the surgery, the uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) 0.8 and better in the Group 1 had 75 % of patients, and in the Group 2 also 75 % of patients. The UCVA 0.5 and better in the Group 1 had 95 % of patients; in the Group 2 it had 90 % of patients. The best-corrected visual acuity 0.8 and better had in both groups 95 % of patients. The final refraction after 3 months in the Group 1 was -0.15 ± 0.91 (-0.12); -3.37; 2.00. In the Group 2 the final refraction after 3 months was -0.08 ± 0.91 (0.00); -3.25; 2.75.
Conclusion: The results are showing that both groups of our cohort are comparable. The One-Day Simultaneous Bilateral Cataract Surgery (SBCS) is, from the surgical point of view, equally safe and effective as classically performed cataract surgery.Key words: One-Day Simultaneous Bilateral Cataract Surgery (SBCS), refraction, visual acuity, postoperative complications, intraocular pressure.

Simultaneous complete oculomotor nerve palsy in herpes zoster ophthalmicus (HZO) is rare. We report a case of a 65-year-old lady who presented with a right drooping eyelid for 2 days associated with rashes over her right forehead. Examination showed crusted vesicular lesions on the right V1 dermatome with right complete ptosis, anisocoria, and limited right extraocular movement on all gazes except full movement on abduction.

Background: This video article describes the use of bone-anchored prostheses for patients with transtibial amputations, most often resulting from trauma, infection, or dysvascular disease. Large studies have shown that about half of all patients with a socket-suspended artificial limb experience limited mobility and limited prosthesis use because of socket-related problems. These problems occur at the socket-residual limb interface as a result of a painful and unstable connection, leading to an asymmetrical gait and subsequent pelvic and back pain.

Purpose: Investigating high performance thermoplastic polymers as substitutes to titanium alloy, in fabrication of implants and attachments to support mandibular overdenture, aiming to overcome stress shielding effect of titanium alloy implants. AIM OF STUDY: Assessment of stress distribution in polymeric prosthetic components and bone around polymeric implants, in case of implant-supported mandibular overdenture.
Materials And Methods: 3D finite element model was established for mandibular overdenture, supported bilaterally by two implants at canine region, and retained by two ball attachments.

Introduction: Fournier's gangrene is a severe infection of the perineum and genital regions, with high mortality rate. Treatment is medico-surgical and multidisciplinary, usually requiring extensive debridement of scrotal tissue and distant surgical reconstruction. Regarding scrotal reconstruction, numerous techniques have been described, however, to our knowledge, none has focused on testicular repositioning.

Background: Infective endocarditis is characterized by the colonization of heart valves by virulent microorganisms. It commonly manifests as involvement of a single heart valve -single-valve infective endocarditis (SIE), while in some patients, two or more heart valves are concomitantly infected -multivalvular infective endocarditis (MIE). The risk of complications and prognosis of MIE as opposed to SIE are unknown.
