The aim of this study was to describe changes in intraocular pressure (IOP) and IOP medications after phacoemulsification with Kahook Dual Blade-assisted goniosynechialysis and excisional goniotomy in eyes with angle-closure glaucoma and cataract.

Retrospective case series.

Data were collected retrospectively through 24 months of follow-up in 42 eyes of 24 subjects.

Preoperative mean (SE) IOP was 25.5 (0.7) mm Hg using a mean of 2.3 (0.1) medications per eye. At month 24, mean IOP had decreased to 13.5 (0.4) mm Hg [a reduction of 12.0 mm Hg (47.1%); P < 0.0001]. Medication use declined to a mean of 0.6 (0.2) medications per eye [a reduction of 1.7 medications per eye (76%); P < 0.0001]. At month 24, 40 of 42 eyes (95.2%) achieved IOP ≤18 mm Hg, 42 of 42 eyes (100%) achieved IOP reduction of ≥20%, 36 of 42 eyes (85.7%) required ≥1 fewer medications for IOP control, and 29 of 42 (69.0%) were medication-free. No eyes required additional glaucoma surgery throughout 24 months of follow-up.

Phaco plus Kahook Dual Blade-assisted goniosynechialysis/excisional goniotomy provides statistically and clinically meaningful reductions in both IOP and medications in eyes with angle-closure glaucoma throughout 2 years of follow-up. These findings are consistent with our previously reported outcomes in this cohort at months 6 and 12 postoperatively, demonstrating a significant and sustained benefit of this procedure in eyes with angle-closure glaucoma and cataract.

The aim of this study is to assess whether and how the PICO (Population, Intervention, Comparator, and Outcomes) format is described to frame research questions in randomized controlled trials looking at effectiveness of rehabilitation interventions.

A methodological study was conducted. Randomized controlled trials in the rehabilitation field, published between July 1, 2019, and December 31, 2019, were included. The framing of the primary research question from each trial was evaluated.

A total of 97 randomized controlled trials were included in the analysis. The most frequent framing of the primary research question was as an "objective" statement (55%), and in 33% of the articles, this was stated as an "objective" together with a "hypothesis" description. All PICO elements were present in 55% of research questions, but only 49% have used the statement suggested by Cochrane.

The findings of this study suggest that a specific item about the "research question" and the rationale that drove the proposed design following the form suggested by Cochrane should be included in the RCT Rehabilitation Checklist.

We present a 75-year-old woman who developed a BVF during cardiac surgery. Dense adhesion in the pleural and pericardial cavities was noted. Restrictive pulmonary pathology required high airway pressure. Transesophageal echocardiography and hemoglobin measurement were helpful for the timely diagnosis of BVF, which was controlled by transection of the right upper pulmonary vein where a vent catheter had been inserted. Injuries around the cannulated site presumably initiated the BVF, which was worsened by high-pressure ventilation. Therefore, cannulation site might be a risk factor for BVF.Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is a commonly performed procedure for the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis. It is most commonly performed as an outpatient procedure. Complications occur, including injury to the orbits, brain, and bleeding. Intraoperative injury to the internal carotid artery is rare and feared by otolaryngologists and skull base surgeons. Controlling this bleed is difficult and could be fatal. We report a case of intraoperative bleed of an internal carotid artery aneurysm during endoscopic sinus surgery. This case demonstrates that multidisciplinary coordination and prompt management can lead to a favorable outcome.A 19-year-old-woman experienced severe burning pain in the lower extremities with erythema and swelling. She was diagnosed with primary erythromelalgia (PE). The pain was unresponsive to medications but relieved by immersing her feet in cold water. We performed a multilevel lumbar sympathetic ganglion block (LSGB) with 5% phenol at second lumbar vertebra (L2) and third lumbar vertebra (L3), and additional fourth lumbar vertebra (L4) levels. An epidural block was intermittently combined. PROTAC tubulin-Degrader-1 cost The pain and skin lesions dramatically improved after the procedures, and she no longer needed medications or to soak her feet in cold water. This case demonstrated that extensive LSGB may be a therapeutic option for intractable PE.Atlantoaxial dislocation (AAD) poses a significant challenge in terms of positioning and surgical fixation as there is increased risk of cord compression and ischemia. Intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) provides a useful tool to identify impending position-related dysfunction. Here we demonstrate the utility of using transcranial motor evoked potential (Tc-MEP) to identify and treat suboptimal positioning in a 13-year-old patient with AAD and Arnold-Chiari malformation.
