Oxygen-supplemented and topography-guided epithelium-on corneal crosslinking with pulsed irradiation for progressive keratoconus.
J Cataract Refract Surg
March 2024
From the Queensland Eye Institute, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia (Cronin, Gunn); Medical Affairs, Burlington, Massachusetts (Chang); Cornea Service, Wills Eye Hospital, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (Chang).
Purpose: To investigate the effects of customized topography-guided epithelium-on crosslinking (epi-on CXL) with oxygen supplementation on procedural efficacy and corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) in patients with progressive keratoconus (KC) at 1 year.
Setting: Private eye clinic, Brisbane, Australia.
Design: Retrospective, single-center, nonrandomized case series.
Snowball-associated ocular injury - An unusual presentation.
Indian J Ophthalmol
December 2022
Cornea and Refractive Services, Narayana Nethralaya, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India.
Background: Snow ball associated ocular injuries are rare. We present the 1st case of a snow ball injury reported in India with symptoms occurring after 10 days.
Purpose: To highlight the fact that symptoms can occur many days after the injury.
When treating corneal ectasias, successful corneal cross-linking (CXL) requires three factors: riboflavin saturation of the corneal stroma, ultraviolet (UV) light, and oxygen. Riboflavin is too large to pass through epithelial tight junctions, so traditionally epithelial debridement is performed before riboflavin is applied making this approach an epithelium-off (epi-off) technique. However, this can result in pain as the epithelium regrows, corneal haze, and an increased infection risk postoperatively, which needs careful management with pharmacotherapy.

World Neurosurg
September 2022
Department of Paediatric Neurosurgery, University of Central Florida College of Medicine, Orlando, Florida, USA.
India has one of the highest TBI burdens due to road traffic accidents (RTAs), with 60% of head injuries being attributable to RTA and more than 150,000 lives being lost annually due to traumatic brain injury (TBI). These numbers have prompted institutions and organizations at international, national, and local levels to mobilize and address this burden through prevention, prehospital care, and in hospital care. Academic institutions such as Andhra Medical College have run local campaigns promoting the wearing of helmets when riding 2-wheelers.

Clin Orthop Relat Res

S. Hindiskere, S. Doddarangappa, P. S. Chinder, HCG Hospital, Bangalore, Karnataka, India.
Background: Reconstruction of defects after resection of malignant bone tumors with liquid nitrogen-sterilized recycled autografts is an alternative to bone allografts and endoprostheses in resource-constrained environments. Most studies reporting favorable outcomes with liquid nitrogen-sterilized autografts for bone reconstruction are geographically restricted to a few countries, and the technical challenges of routinely using liquid nitrogen intraoperatively, especially when using the pedicle freezing technique, has not been documented.
Questions/purposes: (1) What are the technical challenges of liquid nitrogen sterilization of bone tumors for inexperienced surgeons? (2) What are the complications associated with the procedure?
Methods: Between May 2017 and October 2019, 88 patients underwent limb salvage procedures for malignant bone tumors of the extremities at our institution.
