Purpose: To assess the relationship between pseudoexfoliation syndrome and incidence of complications and related clinical factors in patients undergoing cataract surgery.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 503 of 551 patients who underwent phacoemulsification surgery over 2 years in a health care district in Northwest Spain. In total, 120 of 681 eyes undergoing the procedure had pseudoexfoliation syndrome. Data on the surgical procedure and associated complications were extracted from the medical record. Complications included any combination of posterior capsular rupture, vitreous loss, zonular dialysis, and nuclear or lens luxation.
Results: We found a significant association between pseudoexfoliation syndrome and zonular dialysis (odds ratio [OR], 6.89; 95% CI, 2.27-20.93), intraoperative miosis (OR, 2.15; 95% CI, 1.10-4.22), and lens luxation >1.5 mm (OR, 9.49; 95% CI, 0.85-105.54). However, when adjusting for the overall risk of complications in pseudoexfoliation syndrome patients in consideration of myopia, use of anticoagulants or α-agonists, previous mydriasis, and anterior chamber length, the OR decreased to 1.02 (95% CI, 0.47-2.21) and was therefore not significant.
Conclusion: Zonular dialysis and intraoperative miosis were intraoperative complications in cataract surgery patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome when compared to controls.

Abandoned Cataract Surgeries: An Analysis of Surgical Referrals to a Tertiary Eye Center.
Cureus
November 2024
Ophthalmology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, IND.
Purpose: This study aims to analyze the outcomes of cases of abandoned cataract surgeries referred to a tertiary eye center.
Methods: This retrospective observational case series includes eleven cases referred to a tertiary eye center following abandoned cataract surgeries. The preoperative factors, intraoperative management, and postoperative outcomes were recorded and analyzed.
Introduction: The aim of our study was to assess the outcome of Gore-Tex sutures in minimally invasive scleral fixation of subluxated posterior chamber intraocular lenses (PCIOLs) and to demonstrate a method for validating the lens position.
Methods: Retrospective study of patients who underwent lasso in-the-bag scleral fixation of a subluxated PCIOL using the snare technique with Gore-Tex suture from 2019 to 2021 in a single tertiary medical center. Functional outcome was analyzed by clinical assessment, and anatomical outcome, by ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM).

Department of Ophthalmology, Beypazari State Hospital, Ankara, Turkey.
Purpose: To investigate the role of hematological and atherogenic biomarkers in evaluating systemic inflammation and cardiovascular risk in patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome.
Methods: This retrospective study included 200 patients, 90 with pseudoexfoliation (PEX) syndrome (Group 1) and 110 healthy controls (Group 2). Twelve-hour fasting blood samples were collected to measure complete blood count, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte/lymphocyte ratio (MLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) (neutrophil x platelet/lymphocyte), systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) (neutrophil x monocyte/lymphocyte), pan-immune inflammation value (PIV) (neutrophil x platelet x monocyte/lymphocyte), C-reactive protein (CRP), uric acid, glucose, triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, non-HDL, and triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index (Ln (TG [mg/dL] × glucose [mg/dL]/2)).

Photodiagnosis Photodyn Ther
December 2024
Department of Ophthalmology, Nikookari Eye Hospital, Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, Tabriz, Iran.
Background: This study aims to evaluate the differences in retinal and choroidal vasculature using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in patients with pseudoexfoliative glaucoma (PEX-G) and patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome without glaucoma (PEX-S) and the control group.
Materials And Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 25 patients with PEX-G, 27 PEX-S cases, and 25 patients as the control group (C) were evaluated. All patients and the control group underwent macular and optic nerve head (ONH) OCTA, performed using the Optovue device.
Osimertinib-Induced Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis - A Case Report.
Pril (Makedon Akad Nauk Umet Odd Med Nauki)

Faculty of Medicine, University Clinic of Radiotherapy and Oncology, Skopje, Macedonia.
Purpose: To investigate the rare side effects of Osimertinib in a case of toxic epidermal necrosis.
Case Presentation: We report on a case of a 44-year old woman with lung adenocarcinoma harboring an EGFR-sensitizing mutation who was treated with Osimertinib as the second-line treatment. Ten days after Osimertinib initiation, a diffuse erythematous rash rapidly spread over the patient's trunk along with vesicles and purpuric macules; furthermore, she developed erythema and exfoliation on the face and trunk and severe mucositis.
