Ninety-seven eyes of 93 patients were included. Intraocular pressure spikes >22 in the first month occurred in 73% of eyes with or suspect for glaucoma versus 46% of eyes without (P = 0.017); 76% of eyes with a gas fill versus 44% of eyes with a fluid fill (P = 0.0036); and 21% of eyes started on IO... | PMID: 19996823

We report the experience of microscopic canalicular repair using monocanalicular stents; Monostent (Eagle Vision Inc., Memphis, TN) and Mini-Monoka stents (FCI Ophthalmics, Marshfield Hills, MA) and compare these 2 products. Seventeen cases of canalicular lacerations in 15 consecutive patients under... | PMID: 20224336

We take advantage of carcinogen-induced and transgenic tumor models as well as ocular neovascularization to report further evidence in support of our original findings of PlGF as a promising target for anticancer therapies. We present evidence for the efficacy of additional anti-PlGF antibodies and... | PMID: 20371353

We describe the results of nine patients (ages 37-84) with chronic nonhealing neurotrophic corneal epithelial defects who were treated with thymosin beta 4 (Tbeta4) sterile eye drops for 28 or 49 days with a follow-up period of 30 days. Those with geographic defects (six patients) showed dramatic he... | PMID: 20536469

We conducted 2 prospective, open-label trials treating HIV/HCV-coinfected individuals with pegylated interferon alpha-2b or alpha-2a and ribavirin for 48 weeks. Safety laboratories, HCV RNA, psychiatric, and ophthalmologic evaluations were performed at baseline and monthly until week 72.... | PMID: 20101190

Guardians comprised 689 (49.4%) males and 704 (50.6%) females, mean age 43.61 SD 11.45. Most (88.54%) were pupils' parents and (11.46%) were relations (n=1,318); (55.15%) were in low-paying occupations (n=1,311); (87.92%) were aware of eye specialists, (12.08%) unaware, (n=1192); (97.27%) adjudged n... | PMID: 20348974

The angle of deviation for far distance was reduced from 20 +/- 9 (11 to 35) to -2 +/- 4 (-8 to 6) degrees for SSC and from -21 +/- 8 (-42 to -10) to -2 +/- 5 (-15 to 4) degrees for SSD. A correlation between the postoperative angle in far distance and the visual acuity (lg visus) of the affected ey... | PMID: 20230204

Abstract Extraintestinal manifestations occur rather frequently in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), e.g. ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD). The present paper provides an overview of the epidemiology, clinical characteristics, diagnostic process, and management of rheumatic, metabolic... | PMID: 20166813

We report a case of multivisceral DRESS syndrome with posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy and acute tubulointerstitial nephritis responsible for dialysis-dependent acute kidney failure in the context of reactivation of Epstein-Barr virus infection. Because of resistance of the skin a... | PMID: 20110143

Among 4895 patients undergoing cesarean sections, 100 (2.04%) presented a written certification from an ophthalmologist suggesting this way of delivery. The frequency of c-sections due to ocular indications continued to increase between 2000-2005 and has been in decline since 2006. The most common o... | PMID: 20486539

Dynamic light scattering (DLS) measures the oscillations of macromolecules (MM) (Brownian motion). Small MM move fast, large MM slowly. DLS allows one to measure the relaxation of the movements of these MM, together with their sizes and their hydrodynamic diffusion coefficients. By DLS not only the... | PMID: 20234983

We focused on the role of proteoglycans in optic nerve guidance. Immunohistochemical analyses showed intense upregulation in expression of proteoglycans in the inner retinal layers during eye development. We found that proteoglycans inhibited neurite outgrowth of retinal ganglion cells in culture. S... | PMID: 20387539
