Initial studies using aliphatic beta-nitro alcohols for therapeutic corneal cross-linking.
PURPOSE Corneal collagen cross-linking through UVA-riboflavin photochemistry (UVAR) has been shown to be an effective treatment for keratoconus and related keratectasias. In recent studies using sclera, the authors observed that short-chain aliphatic beta-nitro alcohols can cross-link collagenous tissue under physiologic conditions. Thus, this study was undertaken to evaluate these agents as po...
متن کاملAliphatic b-Nitroalcohols for Therapeutic Corneoscleral Cross-Linking: Chemical Stability Studies Using H-NMR Spectroscopy
Recent studies suggest that aliphatic b-nitro alcohols may represent a useful class of compounds for use as in vivo therapeutic corneoscleral cross-linking agents with higher order nitroalcohols (HONAs) showing enhanced efficacy over the mono-nitroalcohols. The current study was undertaken in order to evaluate the chemical stability of these compounds during storage conditions. Two mono-nitroal...
متن کاملcorneal cross-linking for pseudophakic bullous keratopathy
purpose: to evaluate the efficacy of riboflavin administration and ultraviolet a (uva) cross-linking on advanced symptomatic bullous keratopathy (bk). methods: 10 patients with symptomatic pseudophakic bullous keratopathy (pbk) were included. slit-lamp examination, visual acuity, foreign body sensation (fbs) and corneal thickness as measured by pentacam, were performed before corneal cross-link...
متن کاملCorneal cross linking for keratoconus.
Riboflavin-induced ultraviolet light (UV) cross linking has received a significant amount of attention in recent years. It is currently approved in Europe as a treatment for keratoconus and is also being used for other corneal disorders. The goal of this paper is to review in detail seminal papers and studies that have been done to support cross linking as a safe and effective treatment for pat...
متن کاملToxic Alcohols: Aliphatic Saturated Alcohols
Toxic alcohols that clinicians commonly encounter are ethylene glycol, methanol, and isopropanol. Adults ingest these either for suicidal intent or to achieve inebriation, since these substances are readily available and cheaper than alcohol. Nevertheless, assorted alcohols are used very often in many applications and any alcohol can be toxic if ingested in large enough quantities. Toxic alcoho...
