AI Article Synopsis
- A study examined how effective combinations of gentamicin, tobramycin, ticarcillin, and carbenicillin are when injected into the eyes of rabbits, focusing on their inactivation in the aqueous humor.
- Ticarcillin was found to penetrate the aqueous humor more effectively than carbenicillin, while some chemical inactivation of all antibiotics occurred when given together.
- The study concluded that the degree of inactivation, primarily in the aqueous humor rather than the subconjunctival space, is unlikely to have significant clinical implications with typical dosages.
Article Abstract
A study was undertaken to determine the extent of inactivation of gentamicin, tobramycin, ticarcillin and carbenicillin when given subconjunctivally in amino-glycoside-penicillin combinations. Rabbits were injected with such a combination in either the same or opposite subconjunctival sites. The aqueous humor was aspirated and bioassayed for antibiotic activity at 1 and 4 hours after injection. The influence of the aqueous humour upon antibiotic inactivation was studied by in vitro experiments. Ticarcillin penetrated into the aqueous humour better than carbenicillin. Some chemical inactivation of all the antibiotics given in combination occurred. There was less inactivation of the aminoglycosides at 4 hours when the antibiotics had been injected at opposite poles. The inactivation occurred primarily within the aqueous humour but to a lesser extent in the subconjunctival space. The degree of inactivation is likely of little clinical significance with the doses usually used.

Feline coronavirus (FCoV) is a virus endemic in cat populations. Specific genomic mutations give it a strong tropism for macrophages, allowing systemic infection and the development of a disease known as feline infectious peritonitis. This disease takes various clinical presentations, and can manifest as uveitis.

Purpose: This study evaluates the discrepancies between ACV measurements obtained from the Heidelberg Anterion and Zeiss IOLMaster 700 and investigates the significance of ACV and other ocular biometry parameters.
Patients And Methods: To investigate intraocular fluid circulation, a robust formula was developed for ACV measurement using the Zeiss IOLMaster 700. A pilot study was conducted to validate this formula, which relied on WTW, CCT, and ACD.

Purpose: To evaluate the advantages and clinical utility of metagenomic sequencing (MGS) in diagnosing infectious uveitis pathogens.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 20 infectious uveitis patients (20 eyes) who received treatments at the Affiliated Eye Hospital of Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from May 2020 to February 2021. Anterior aqueous humor of the patients was collected and analyzed using MGS.

This study aimed to evaluate the changes in cytokine levels in the aqueous humor and factors of treatment resistance following intravitreal faricimab injection in treatment-naïve patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration. A total of 32 eyes were analyzed before and after a single faricimab injection. Although the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) showed no significant improvement, the mean central retinal thickness decreased significantly by 73.
