Abstract

This study was designed to report the long-term complications of iris-claw phakic intraocular lens implantation in a patient with Weill-Marchesani syndrome. Case report and literature review. A 26-year-old man with a history of glaucoma had bilateral phakic lens implantation for high myopia 10 years previously. Two years later, the left implant dislocated and was repositioned. Slit-lamp examination of both eyes revealed phakic implants of the iris-claw variety. There were moderate iridocorneal adhesions in the areas in which the lens haptics pinched the iris in both eyes and moderate epithelial and stromal edema over the temporal one-third of the left cornea. The crystalline lenses were clear with 3+phacodonesis OU. Dilated fundus examinations revealed bilateral severe optic nerve cupping. Crystalline lens diameters were measured at 7.5mm in the right eye and 8 mm in the left. Anterior chamber depths were 2.63 mm OD and 2.40 mm OS. Specular microscopy revealed central endothelial cell counts of 1133 and 587 cells/mm OD and OS, respectively. Axial lengths were 23.3 mm OD and 25 mm OS. Gonioscopic examination revealed bilateral angle closure with marked peripheral anterior synechiae. Based on our findings of short stature, shorte...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.
