Abstract

The aim of the study was to analyse late results of treating patients with cataract, due to blunt and perforating trauma. Analysis included factors related to type of treatment, time from the trauma to surgery, frequency and type of complications. The study population consisted of 60 patients, 56 men aged from 13 to 76 years (mean age 39.9) and 4 women aged from 4 to 79 years (mean age 46.5). Cataract due to non perforating trauma was found in 21 patients (35.0%), whereas 39 (65.0%) suffered from perforating trauma. Conservative treatment was used in 17 patients, whereas 41 were operated on, including 20 with PCIOL, 12 with ACIOL and 9 with NONIOL. In 2 persons the eyeball was removed after the injury. Control examinations were performed in 45 patients. Follow-up ranged from one year to 5.5 years. Visual acuity did not differ significantly between patients with cataract after the non perforating and perforating trauma. Only, among the patients with visual acuity between 1.0-0.5 the subjects with the non perforating trauma differed significantly from those, after the perforating trauma. 92.9% of them had effective visual acuity (up to 0.1). In patients with cataract after non perforating trauma, the mode of treatment did not sig...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.
