To investigate the effect of hybrid contact lenses (HCLs) on keratoconus (KCN) progression after accelerated transepithelial cross-linking (A-TE CXL).
Thirty-five eyes of 26 patients who preferred Ultrahealth HCLs for an optical correction after A-TE CXL formed the study group, and 45 eyes of 34 patients who preferred spectacle correction were age- and sex-matched to form the control group. Corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), maximum keratometry, mean keratometry, apical posterior keratometry, cylindrical power, minimum corneal thickness, keratoconus vertex indices and curvature asymmetry indices obtained by Scheimpflug corneal topography were compared before, 6 and 12months after the procedure. Anterior segment optic coherence tomography (AS-OCT) was performed to measure the apical corneal clearance of HCL-wearing patients.
The median pre-CXL CDVA value of the patients in the HCL group was logMAR 0.30 (0.20-1.0), and it was logMAR 0.30 (0.10-1.0) in the spectacle-corrected group. There was a significant increase in CDVA 6 and 12months after CXL procedure in both groups (p < 0.001, 0.003, respectively). https://www.selleckchem.com/products/tas-120.html The median front curve asymmetry index (FCAsym) significantly improved after A-TE CXL in the HCL group. The pre-CXL and 12th-month topographic comparisons of the spectacle-corrected group revealed no significant difference. In addition, no significant difference was observed between topographic alterations of two groups (p > 0.05).
The CDVA significantly improved, and KCN progression was halted in patients wearing HCL 12months after A-TE CXL. Besides, FCAsym indices can be considered for follow-up of the HCL-wearing patients as an assistive parameter to AS-OCT measurements.

Several methods can be applied for a trabeculotomy, including the uses of thread, a blade, cauterization, and a hook. We compared the outcomes of trabectome surgery and microhook surgery.
We analyzed the cases of 133 eyes that underwent trabectome (72 eyes) or microhook (61 eyes) surgery and were followed for > 1year. We defined failure as a < 20% reduction in the postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) value or requiring additional glaucoma surgery. We used three surgical success definitions ≤ 21, ≤ 18, and ≤ 15mmHg IOP reduction. A Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was performed for the surgical outcomes. We compared the trabectome and microhook groups' postoperative IOP values, number of glaucoma medications, and postoperative complications.
At 1year postsurgery, the trabectome surgeries decreased the IOP significantly from 24.6 ± 7.3 to 13.3 ± 3.7mmHg, and the microhook surgeries significantly decreased the IOP from 24.1 ± 9.2 to 12.5 ± 3.9mmHg. The two groups' 1-year postoperative IOP values were not significantly different (p = 0.310). The surgical outcomes of the trabectome surgeries were significantly better than those of the microhook surgeries (≤ 21mmHg p = 0.0049, ≤ 18mmHg p = 0.0029, and ≤ 15mmHg p = 0.0393). There were three patients with ciliary detachment in the microhook surgery group.
Trabectome surgery provided significantly better surgical outcomes than microhook surgery. The risk of postoperative ciliary detachment should be considered in microhook surgery cases.

To evaluate the effect of phacoemulsification (PE) surgery on intraocular pressure (IOP) control and morphology of filtering bleb in eyes that have previously had trabeculectomy in the long-term.
This retrospective study included 98 eyes of 93 patients who had undergone trabeculectomy first and then PE surgery. The IOP, morphology of bleb, the number of glaucoma medication of each patient before PE, and 1day, 1month, 3months, 1year, 2years after PE, and at the last visit were recorded. The need for additional glaucoma medication or glaucoma surgery were noted. Surgical success was defined as 6mmHg ≤ IOP ≤ 21mm Hg at the 3rd month, 1st year, and 2nd year follow-up visit, without additional medication or surgery.
Before PE the IOP was ≤ 21mmHg in all of the eyes. At the last visit, the IOP was ≤ 21mmHg in 6 eyes with fewer glaucoma medication, in 24 eyes with the same number, and in 36 eyes with more. There was an increase in the number of glaucoma medications on each visit (p<0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in bleb morphologies between before PE and each visit after PE (p<0.001). Surgical success after PE was obtained in 52 eyes, additional glaucoma medication was needed in 36 eyes, and additional surgical procedures were required in 14 eyes.
Phacoemulsification surgery may increase the number of glaucoma medications and the mean IOP and also may reduce the function of bleb in eyes that underwent trabeculectomy.

Pericarditis secondary to acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is known to develop either immediately or after a latent period of few months. Due to varied presentation and timing, its diagnosis and treatment can be challenging. This article reviews underlying mechanisms and the role of cardiac imaging in investigating and managing this condition.
Timely diagnosis of pericarditis after AMI is important to prevent potential progression to complicated pericarditis. Clinical suspicion warrants initial investigation with serum inflammatory levels, electrocardiogram, and echocardiography. When findings are inconclusive, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and computerized tomography can provide additional diagnostic information. Pericarditis after AMI is a treatable condition. Clinicians should maintain a high suspicion in this era of revascularization and develop a strategic plan for timely diagnosis and management.
