Abstract

To assess the outcome of deep sclerectomy surgery with intraoperative antimitotic application in children with primary and secondary congenital glaucomas. Thirty-seven eyes of 22 children aged from 1 day to 14 years were included in this study; 30 eyes had primary congenital glaucoma and were divided into two groups according to the management delay. Eighteen eyes were managed early (group 1) and 12 eyes were diagnosed late (group 2). Finally, seven eyes had a more complex dysgenic glaucoma (group 3). All the eyes had a deep sclerectomy with antimitotic intraoperative application (5 FU). Pre- and postoperative intraocular pressures, success rate, preoperative corneal transparency, corneal diameter, and surgical complications were assessed. Total success was defined by final postoperative intraocular pressure lower than 16 mmHG without combined medical treatment; partial success was defined by lower than 16 mmHG with a combined medical treatment. The mean follow-up was 38.2 months. Total success was 34% and partial was 82%: 56% and 89%, respectively, for group 1, 33% and 100% for group 2, and 14% and 57% for group 3. No severe complications occurred after surgery. The probability of success was significantly lower for secondary ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
