Emerging Treatment Paradigms of Ocular Surface Disease: Proceedings of the Ocular Surface Workshop.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The objective of the Ocular Surface Workshop in Rome, Italy, on 6 February 2009, was to enhance the understanding of ocular surface disease (OSD) through exploration of the nature of its complexities and current treatment paradigms across Europe. It was hoped that the peer-to-peer discussions and updates regarding common knowledge, clinical practices, and shared experiences at this workshop would subsequently shape future treatment approaches to OSD in Europe.

Postoperative infection in penetrating versus non-penetrating glaucoma surgery.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: The literature on infections related to non-penetrating glaucoma surgery is sparse, in contrast to that for trabeculectomy and glaucoma drainage device procedures. Thus far, no case of endophthalmitis has been reported following non-penetrating glaucoma surgery, even with the use of intraoperative antimetabolites. However, there is currently insufficient evidence to conclusively demonstrate that NPGS is associated with significantly less risk of endophthalmitis and infection when compared to trabeculectomy and glaucoma drainage device implantation.

Periorbital Necrotizing Fasciitis.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Necrotizing fasciitis involving the periorbita is a devastating infection which potential outcomes range from severe disfigurement, loss of the eye, and even to death. Early recognition is critical though its initially nondistinctive appearance frequently delays diagnosis and treatment. Herein, the authors have performed a systematic review of previously published cases including clinical features, diagnoses and differential diagnoses, pathologic characteristics, and management. Periorbital necrotizing fasciitis is seen mainly in adults with a female predominance (54%); about half (47%) of the patients are previously h...

Current treatment options for retinal angiomatous proliferans (RAP).Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Retinal angiomatous proliferation (RAP) accounts for 12-15% of all patients with neovascular age related macular degeneration (NV-AMD). However, this subtype is often excluded from clinical trials aimed at assessing the efficacy of various treatment options for NV-AMD. So, there are no established protocols for the management of RAP. This review of current literature on RAP compares the outcomes of various treatment options for this condition and highlights the lack of clinical trials and paucity of long-term data on this relatively common condition.

Oxidative Stress of Intracameral Lidocaine and Levobupivacaine on Ocular Tissues.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study suggest that levobupivacaine 0.5% is shown to have an immediate toxicity on corneal endothelium. Lidocaine 2% causes oxidative damage on corneal and lens tissues. Surgeons should not prefer repetitive and high doses of intracameral lidocaine and use it in the presence of corneal pathology during cataract surgery.

Glaucoma and Helicobacter pylori infection: correlations and controversies.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
A possible association between Helicobacter pylori infection (fig 1) and eye diseases, including Sjögren syndrome, blepharitis, central serous chorioretinopathy and uveitis, has been proposed. Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness in the world, after cataracts, and the leading cause of irreversible blindness, but many aspects of its pathogenesis remain unknown. H pylori infection may influence the pathophysiology of glaucoma by releasing various proinflammatory and vasoactive substances, as well as by influencing the apoptotic process, parameters that may also exert their own effects in the induction a...

Cataract surgery and primary intraocular lens implantation in childrenEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
DISCUSSION: Primary IOL implantation in children </=2 has been widely adopted in the UK and Ireland. There is concordance of practice with regards to surgical technique and choice of IOL model. However, there is some variation in eligibility criteria for primary IOLs: this may reflect a lack of consensus on which children are most likely to benefit. Thus, there is a need for systematic studies of the outcomes of primary IOL implantation in younger children.

CONCLUSIONS: Anti-VEGF monotherapy represents a useful treatment option for RAP, with stable or improved visual acuity in 62.5% of patients at 2 years. Although 25% of eyes only required a single injection, in most cases (75%) repeated treatments were required, therefore long-term follow-up is recommended.

CONCLUSION: PCR for M. tuberculosis was positive for some TB positive donors and well as TB negative donors.But all cultures was negative.

A correct diagnosis of the early onset childhood retinal dystrophies requires careful clinical evaluation, the detection of suggestive or pathognomonic ophthalmoscopic clues, the use of electrophysiology to document characteristic electroretinographic (ERG) findings, and in some cases, the utilization of newer diagnostic modalities such as optical coherence tomography (OCT). Molecular diagnosis confirms the clinical diagnosis and provides the basis for possible future gene therapy.

CONCLUSION: All UBM parameters considered were statistically different between the two groups. ROC analysis showed ICA and IC in near vision to be the most discriminant parameters. This evidence confirms the importance of iris movements in inducing the peculiar features of PDS/PG. PMID: 19822906 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] (Source: The British Journal of Ophthalmology)

Mizuo-Nakamura phenomenon with a negative waveform ERG.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
A 79 year old Pakistanian male with complaints of nyctalopia and progressive decline of vision in both eyes was evaluated and found to exhibit the Mizuo-Nakamura phenomenon on fundoscopic examination. Dark adapted, bright flash ERG testing revealed a prominent negative waveform morphology. Fluorescein angiography and autofluorescent imaging were obtained and the results were consistent with a bulls eye maculopathy. Due to the patient's subjective complaints of nyctalopia, the Mizuo-Nakamura phenomenon and the negative waveform ERG, a presumptive diagnosis of Oguchi's disease was made. However, genetic testing failed to...

CONCLUSIONS: All children born with congenital anophthalmos or microphthalmos require a thorough clinical examination by an experienced ophthalmologist to rule out pathology in the fellow eye in unilateral disease and by a paediatrician to screen for any associated systemic anomalies.

Change of Choroidal Nevi during Five Years Follow-Up. The Beijing Eye Study.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: Adult Chinese with an age of 40+ years show an enlargement of presumed choroidal nevi in only a small percentage of subjects during a follow-up of 5 years. Taking into consideration that most of the study participants were already past the age of the highest risk of developing a uveal melanoma in Chinese, the results may suggest a low risk of growth of choroidal nevi into malignant choroidal melanomas in Chinese.

Thirty months prospective study on the treatment of retinoblastoma in Gabriel Toure Bamako Mali: 55 cases.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSION: The mortality associated to Retinoblastoma remains high in our regions because diagnosis is always late and it is difficult to follow-up the patients. Education and raising the awareness of both population and health workers would improve the survival rate of patients with retinoblastoma in Africa.
