Abstract

PurposeTo assess the occurrence rate of retinal detachment (RD) after small gauge vitrectomy for idiopathic epiretinal membrane (ERM).Patients and methodsRetrospective observational case series. The records of consecutive patients operated on for idiopathic ERM using small gauge pars plana vitrectomy between August 2012 and December 2014 with at least a 1-year follow-up were reviewed. All patients were contacted by phone to assess the occurrence of RD during the post-operative follow-up. The main outcome was the occurrence of RD. Patients who underwent surgery for senile cataract over the same period with at least a 1-year follow-up were also contacted by phone for comparison.ResultsTwo hundred and sixteen eyes of 212 patients who had undergone ERM surgery were included, with a mean follow-up of 892±211 days (216-1238). RD occurred in two eyes (0.92%). Over the same period, two RD occurred in the 203 eyes (0.98%) of 157 patients operated on for senile cataract in our department.ConclusionsThe occurrence of RD after 25-gauge vitrectomy for idiopathic ERM was <1%. Using small gauge sutureless vitrectomy systems has improved the safety of ERM surgery, with a RD rate similar to that observed after cataract surgery.

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.
