MicroRNAs' Significance in Retinoblastoma Diagnosis and Treatment: The Little Heroes.
Biochem Genet
January 2025
Immunology Research Center, Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, Tabriz, Iran.
One in 16, 000 live births is affected by the retinal tumor RB (retinoblastoma), which is frequently found in a child's early years. Both of the RB1 alleles that have been locally mutated in the affected retina are present in 60 percent of cases. Retinoblastoma (RB) can be detected using a variety of techniques, including imaging of the brain and orbits, eye examinations under anesthesia (EUAs), and the discovery of cell-free tumor DNA in samples of aqueous humor or plasma.

The impact of speculum uses on the incidence of blepharoptosis in patients undergoing phacoemulsification surgery: A prospective analysis.
Indian J Ophthalmol

Orbit and Oculoplasty, Aravind Eye Hospital, Thavalakuppam, Pondicherry, India.
Purpose: The primary objective of this study was to investigate the possible role and assess the potential relationship of speculum use during phacoemulsification surgery in the occurrence of blepharoptosis.
Methods: Our study is a prospective observational design to analyze patients who underwent phacoemulsification surgery under topical anesthesia between October 2017 and May 2018 at a tertiary eye hospital in South India. All patients had their Margin Reflex Distance 1 (MRD1), levator palpebrae superioris (LPS) function, and lid crease distance (LCD) measured before and after surgery on day one, one month, three months, and six months to evaluate the extent of ptosis at each time point that was recorded clinically and photographic documentation for accurate evaluation.
Morphological analysis of lacrimal punctum using anterior segment optical coherence tomography in different age groups.
Indian J Ophthalmol
February 2025
Department of Orbit and Oculoplasty, Sankara Eye Hospital, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India.
Purpose: To evaluate the lacrimal punctal changes in different age groups using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT).
Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted between January 2023 and January 2024 including healthy subjects between 20 and 80 years. The selected eyes from healthy patients were divided into four age groups (21-35 years, 36-50 years, 51-65 years, 66-80 years), and lower lacrimal puncta were analyzed using AS-OCT.
