Clinical evaluation of ophthalmic findings in active, amateur, adult, competitive male boxers in India.

In the popular fighting sport of boxing, opponents strike each other above the belt line in the face, chest, and belly. The physical parts most exposed are therefore the nose and eyes. In amateur boxing, fights go only three rounds - three minutes for men and one minute for women - with a one-minute break in between.

Comparison of diagnostic capability of macular ganglion cell complex vs retinal fiber layer thickness in primary open angle glaucoma patients of Indian origin.

Purpose: Comparison of diagnostic capability of macular ganglion cell complex thickness vs. retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness in patients of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).

Settings And Design: This cross-sectional observational study was carried out between June 2021 and October 2022 at a tertiary care hospital in North India.

"Partial Open Sky Method" - A novel technique to avoid the open sky condition during Triple procedure or Penetrating keratoplasty.

Penetrating keratoplasty is referred to as an "open-sky" procedure because the intraocular contents are entirely exposed to atmospheric pressure after the diseased cornea has been trephined off and before the donor button is sutured. Suprachoroidal hemorrhage (SCH) is a major vision-threatening complication, associated with this open-sky procedure. While numerous factors may predispose an eye to SCH, like hypertension, myopia, trauma, glaucoma, etc.

Posterior keratometry changes after steep axis phacoemulsification: a prospective study.

To measure changes in posterior corneal curvature after steep axis phacoemulsification and investigate the possibility of its effect on SIA. This was a prospective longitudinal study on 60 consecutive eyes of age-related cataract with regular astigmatism and absence of co-morbidities undergoing uneventful cataract surgeries with main incision at steep meridian. Preoperative and 4 weeks postoperative measurements of anterior and posterior corneal curvatures using Scheimpflug based corneal topographer were performed.

Apert Syndrome - caveats of squint management.

Apert Syndrome (AS) is a rare form of acrocephalosyndactyly. The aim of the manuscript was to underline the challenging squint management in a case of Apert Syndrome. A 1.

Prevalence of non tuberculous mycobacterial infection in surgical site infections and their antibiotic susceptibility profile.

Background: Surgical site infections (SSIs) are one of the leading causes of hospital-acquired infections contributing to about 20% of all cases, thereby causing an increase in morbidity and financial burden. Causative organisms associated with SSIs have not changed greatly over the last 10-15 years; however, the proportions of different types of causative organisms have changed with an increase in case reports of rare organisms such as non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM).

Methods: Samples received from patients with SSI were simultaneously cultured for the isolation of NTM along with routine bacteriological examination.

Real-time ultrasound-guided spinal anaesthesia vs pre- procedural ultrasound-guided spinal anaesthesia in obese patients.

Background And Aims: Spinal anaesthesia is conventionally performed using a landmark-guided midline approach. These surface landmarks may be absent, indistinct or distorted in the presence of obesity, previous spinal surgeries, deformities, or degenerative changes associated with ageing. In the present study, we compared the efficacy of real-time ultrasound (RUS)-guided paramedian approach, and pre-procedure ultrasound (PUS) landmark-guided paramedian approach in obese patients.
