Filter by:We have been using DEX for refractory DME for a long time (since 2016). Thus, we are sharing our results , evaluating both anatomical and functional outcomes of DEX therapy for refractory DME.
The AquaPass System is intended for enhancing fluid transfer through the skin, by increased sweat rate, in fluid overloaded patients. This study will examine safety, performance and usability of the AquaPass device in two phases: Phase 1: Hospitalization treatment. Phase 2: Home/outpatient clinic treatment
Background and Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of cooled versus room temperature artificial tears in reducing post intravitreal injection (IVI) ocular discomfort. Patients and Methods: Patients receiving IVI were randomized to either cooled or room temperature tears intervention groups. Both groups rated their ocular discomfort following IVI before intervention and again after administration of cooled or room temperature tears.
This study was a multicenter, non-interventional, retrospective chart review of patients with DME who received ranibizumab 0.5 mg as initial intensive treatment in real-world clinical setting in Korea. Enrolled patients started receiving ranibizumab between 01 December 2019 and 31 October 2020, with records of receiving at least 3 doses in the first 4 months after starting treatment in the data collected until 30 April 2021. Subsequent dosing interval was determined by the treating physician based on the patient's condition. Data were collected for up to 24 weeks (±2 weeks) from the date of first dose of ranibizumab, including best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) results at Week 24. Subjects were identified by review of patient medical records, and those who met the inclusion/exclusion criteria were enrolled. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of ranibizumab in patients with DME who received initial intensive treatment by analyzing the mean change in BCVA using data collected during the 24-week follow-up period. Central subfield thickness (CST), intra-retinal fluid (IRF), sub-retinal fluid (SRF), edema improvement, and Diabetic Retinopathy Severity Scale (DRSS) results were also assessed to further analyze the effectiveness of ranibizumab. The total number of ranibizumab doses administered was obtained to determine the pattern of ranibizumab treatment in real-world clinical setting. All decisions regarding the clinical management and treatment of patients were made by the treating physician according to real-world routine practice, independently of the study. All data collected in this study were extracted from the patient medical records recorded in the process.
The aim of this study is to assess the association between vitreous hyper-reflective dots (VHD) and the macular thickness changes following uneventful phacoemulsification. In this prospective study the investigators performed optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging in patients undergoing cataract surgery preoperatively and postoperatively after 1 week, 1 month and 3 months and analyzed the OCTs for VHDs. The investigators then measured the macular thickness in patients with VHDs and without VHDs and correlated the macular thickness with the number of VHDs.
To determine the Effects of foot exercises with and without hydrotherapy on pedal Edema & lower extremity function in antenatal women.
The goal of this clinical trial es to learn about the short term effects of intravitreal dexamethasone implant (IDI) in patients with refractory diabetic macular edema. The main question it aims to answer is: How fast does the diminishing in central retinal thickness has statistical significance after IDI in patients with refractory diabetic macular edema? Patients will be evaluated by OCT before and after the implant.
Physical appearance is a factor that contributes to an individual's self-esteem. Maintaining a healthy appearance is a growing quest by the population, and aging is the main cause of discomfort for men and women. There are several aesthetic treatments capable of mitigating or delaying the effects of aging in all its layers of alteration (dermis, hypodermis, musculature and bone), and the combination of therapies has been increasingly proposed in search of a positive synergy. The dermal application of polydioxanone threads (PDO) and the low-power red LED (photobiomodulation - PBM) are individual options of resources for which there already are reports in the literature about their mechanisms of action in the proliferation of fibroblasts and collagen production. However, the joint application of these techniques requires further studies. A total of 40 patients, aged between 30 and 60 years old, phototypes I-IV in Fitzpatrick scale, Glogau 3-4, presenting static wrinkle at the glabellar region will be recruited and distributed among 2 groups: PDO thread + PBM or PDO thread + sham PBM. The treatments will consist of 30 days, with one application of PDO thread and PBM twice a week (total of 9 sessions).
Prospective or cohort study to compare the effects of grid macular laser, topical bromfenac 0.09% and placebo (carboxymethyl cellulose 0.5%) medication in diabetic macular edema. 60 eyes with macular edema of two types i.e. cystoid macular edema (CME) and clinically significant macular edema (CSME) were divided into three groups with 20 patients in each group. One group was treated with grid laser photocoagulation, the second group was treated with topical bromfenac 0.09% drops two times a day and the third group was treated with topical carboxy methyl cellulose 0.5% three times a day (placebo treatment).
ADMIRE was a prospective, observational cohort study of patients with diabetic macular edema (DME). Efficacy was assessed by change in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central retinal thickness (CRT) from baseline to months 12, 24 and 36 after treatment with intravitreal aflibercept in treatment-naïve patients and previously treated patients. Safety was evaluated by recording any patients-reported events.
