Nonsurgical and surgical methods of sclera reinforcement in progressive myopia

Abstract

As shown by the clinical picture of progressive myopia, derangements in biomechanical properties of sclera may be more or less manifested. The study aims at the development of a discriminating approach to their correction. Patients with the condition were given a sclera strengthening injection, in which a dose of liquid polymeric composition is injected under the Tenon's capsule on the scleral surface. After polymerization, the composition forms over the scleral surface a layer of elastic foamed gel. Complex experiments on 146 rabbit eyes showed that the injected material promotes collagen formation. Gradually dissolving, the gel stimulates the growth of connective tissue on the surface of the sclera, whose stress-strain parameters improve. A thorough clinical study of 240 eyes of patients aged 8-25 years with progressive 6-10 D myopia showed that the refraction remained stable in 79.6% eyes 1 year after the sclera strengthening injection and in 52.9% cases 4-9 years after the sclera strengthening injection. At the same time, fellow intact eyes have shown, respectively, 40.3% and 13.3% of myopia stabilization, and 212 untreated eyes of the control group 26.0% and 11.1%, respectively. 612 children and adolescents with high myopi...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.
