Filter by:The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Tocilizumab as second/third line treatment in patients with Active Moderate-to-Severe Corticosteroid-Resistant Thyroid Eye Disease.
The aim of this study is to compare between peribulbar block and subtenon block as an adjunct to general anesthesia in children undergoing strabismus surgery on oculocardiac reflex (OCR), post-operative analgesia and postoperative vomiting. Both techniques will be compared to intra-operative intravenous (IV) paracetamol combined with general anesthesia as a sole anesthetic technique.
Although postoperative infectious endophthalmitis and toxic anterior segment syndrome (TASS) rarely happen, they can threaten sight and are considered complications of intraocular and cataract surgery1. Reusing surgical supplies during cataract surgery, especially in developing countries, will have a treble impact in lowering the financial costs of surgery, the emissions of greenhouse gas, and environmental waste. Nearly half the waste of cataract surgery is recyclable, as reported by a prospective Malaysian study 8. Despite the increasing evidence of reusing the operative supplies, numerous healthcare professionals may be reluctant to consider it due to worries about cross-contamination among patients2. According to the Aravind Eye Care System (AECS) in Tamil Nadu, India, endophthalmitis rated 0.02% in over a million consecutive cataract cases despite the observation that cannulas, irrigation/ aspiration tubing, gowns, surgical gloves, irrigating bottles, as well as topical and intraocular drugs are normally recycled to cut cost and waste3,4. On the other hand, health care plays a key role in climate change, as well as financial and environmental waste2. Cataracts are the leading cause of blindness and visual impairment worldwide, making cataract surgery one of the most performed surgical procedures5. The carbon footprint of cataract surgery, especially phacoemulsification, is a significant research field6-8. In the United Kingdom, cataract surgery releases 180 kg of CO2- equivalents per eye, causing over half of the emissions due to obtaining large disposable medical equipment9. In ACES, phacoemulsification generated 5.9 kg of carbon emissions4. In comparison to the United Kingdom and the United States of America, the cataract surgery's low rates of infection in AECS were accomplished with 1/10 supply costs and 1/20 global warming emissions6. Being the most performed operation, cataract surgery and ophthalmology, in general, can meaningfully influence lowering environmental and economic waste in their surgical services1. The aim of this work is to show if reusing the operative supplies to reduce financial costs, especially in developing countries, and to lower global warming and climate change will affect the rate of postoperative endophthalmitis after cataract surgery
The objective of this application is to illustrate the core constituents of the ocular surface microbiome, describe factors that promote colonization, and assess the ocular microbiome's role in the health of the anterior segment. We will conduct a prospective, observational cohort study, including a longitudinal analysis of the ocular microbiome in adults.
To compare the clinical effectiveness of ranibizumab and combination of ranibizumab and triamcinolone for the treatment of macular oedema secondary to CRVO
The Tomey CASIA (Tomey Corporation, Nagoya, Japan) is a novel rapid imaging device that captures high-quality imaging of the entire anterior chamber of the eye over detailed imaging of a single section. In this prospective study, we want to investigate and compare the anatomical structure of the drainage angle of the eye in patients with different types glaucoma using Tomey machine. This study gives us a better understanding of the predictability, validity and accuracy of Tomey machine in the diagnosis of different types of glaucoma. Moreover, the data collected here will be used to create an artificial intelligence (AI) platform to screen certain type of glaucoma.
