Suture manipulation post-trabeculectomy: A practical guide.

Indian J Ophthalmol

Aravind Eye Hospital, Poonamallee High Road, Noombal, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India.

Published: June 2023

Background: Trabeculectomy is the gold standard filtration surgery for diverting aqueous from anterior chamber to the subconjunctival space. More than the surgery, postoperative follow-ups and management of the blebs play a critical role in the long-term success. This video is aimed at showing the real-world management of blebs postoperatively.

Purpose: This video will serve as a practical guide to the postoperative management of trabeculectomy blebs with specific focus on the suture manipulation.

Synopsis: This video will demonstrate various suturing techniques of trabeculectomy and their manipulation in the postoperative period. Complications related to each will be discussed.

Highlights: We demonstrate how to place and remove, releasable, and fixed sutures. We also address the practical points on why and when to remove the sutures. Suture-related complications and their management have been shown along with practical examples.

Discovery of highly potent phosphodiesterase-1 inhibitors by a combined-structure free energy perturbation approach.

Acta Pharm Sin B

December 2024

State Key Laboratory of Anti-Infective Drug Discovery and Development, School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou 510006, China.

Accurate receptor/ligand binding free energy calculations can greatly accelerate drug discovery by identifying highly potent ligands. By simulating the change from one compound structure to another, the relative binding free energy (RBFE) change can be calculated based on the theoretically rigorous free energy perturbation (FEP) method. However, existing FEP-RBFE approaches may face convergence challenges due to difficulties in simulating non-physical intermediate states, which can lead to increased computational costs to obtain the converged results.

Background: Achilles tendinopathy (AT) management can be difficult, given the paucity of effective treatment options and the degenerative nature of the condition. Innovative therapies for Achilles tendinopathy are therefore direly needed. New therapeutic developments predominantly begin with preclinical animal and in vitro studies to understand the effects at the molecular level and to evaluate toxicity.

Introduction: Maternity care professionals need to guide women through an increasing number of decision-making processes during pregnancy. Professionals tend to focus more on providing information than on decision support. According to the self-determination theory (SDT), professionals could help women make their own choices by fulfilling their three basic psychological needs: autonomy, competence, and relatedness through autonomy-supportive interactions.

Recent Advances in Polymorphism of Organic Solar Cells.

Small

January 2025

School of Electronics and Information, Northwestern Polytechnical University, 1 Dongxiang Road, Xi'an, 710129, China.

As organic solar cells (OSCs) achieve notable advancements, a significant consensus has been highlighted that the device performance is intricately linked to the active layer morphology. With conjugated molecules being widely employed, intermolecular interactions exert substantial influence over the aggregation state and morphology formation, resulting in distinct molecular packing motifs, also known as polymorphism. This phenomenon is closely associated with processing conditions and exerts a profound impact on functional properties.
