Abstract

To compare cataract surgery outcome measures 4 months postoperatively and determine their association with changes in the eye's functional state. Department of Ophthalmology, Helsinki University Central Hospital, Finland. This longitudinal study comprised 219 consecutive patients having first-eye or second-eye cataract surgery by one surgeon. In most patients, the technique consisted of small-incision cataract surgery with in-the-bag intraocular lens implantation. Patients were interviewed and clinical data obtained preoperatively and 4 months postoperatively. Adverse events occurring within 24 hours and 4 months postoperatively were compared with changes in global measures of vision. Surgical success in terms of surgically induced astigmatism (SIA) was measured at 4 months using vector analysis of the changes in astigmatism and defining the extent to which the surgical goal was achieved. The association between the surgical astigmatism goals and global measures of vision was analyzed. The percentage of patients showing improvement 4 months after first-eye cataract surgery varied by outcome measure: Snellen visual acuity (95.0%), VF-14 score (89.4%), satisfaction with vision (80.1%), self-reported trouble with vision (75.8%), a...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.
