BACKGROUND The purpose of this retrospective chart review was to evaluate factors associated with improvement of visual acuity after a single sub-Tenon injection of triamcinolone acetonide in patients with diabetic macular edema. METHODS We reviewed the medical records for 63 consecutive eyes with diabetic macular edema treated by sub-Tenon injection of triamcinolone acetonide and assessed at...

AIMS To evaluate the efficacy of the treatment with intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide or dexamethasone intravitreal implant in patients with postoperative cystoid macular edema (PCME). MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty eyes of 29 patients with PCME were randomized into two groups: one group initially received an injection of 4 mg triamcinolone; retreatment after 3 months was dependent on functi...

Triamcinolone acetonide, methylprednisolone, and dexamethasone were each evaluated in combination with palivizumab (Synagis) for the therapy of established respiratory syncytial virus infection in the cotton rat. Triamcinolone and methylprednisolone proved to be more effective than dexamethasone in reducing lung pathology. No recurrence of viral replication or pulmonary pathology followed the c...

no one treatment is best (strength of recommendation [SOR]: C, meta-analysis of heterogenous studies); no good evidence exists comparing treatments with each other. Triamcinolone injections, triamcinolone injections combined with excision, and cryotherapy all improve hypertrophic and keloid scars (SOR: C, case series studies). Silicone gel products have weak evidence of efficacy (SOR: C, Cochra...

PURPOSE To evaluate the prophylactic efficacy of selective laser trabeculoplasty for preventing an increase in intraocular pressure (IOP) after intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide injection. DESIGN Prospective, comparative, interventional case series. METHODS We studied 31 eyes with a baseline IOP of 21 mm Hg or more of 31 patients for which intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide injection w...

Transforaminal epidural steroid injection (TFESI) is frequently used for the treatment of lumbar radiculopathy.A retrospective analytical study was conducted at a pain clinic among 100 adult patients more than 18 yearsof age who underwent ‘Transforaminal injection’ Lumbar radiculopathy from November 2017 toDecember 2020. Group A (50 patients) received with Particulate corticosteroid(Triamcinolo...

OBJECTIVE Pharmacokinetic studies have shown that the biological effect of triamcinolone acetonide (TA) is equivalent to that of triamcinolone hexacetonide (TH), if used at double the dosage. In this study we compared the efficacy of intra-articular TA at a dose twice that of TH in symmetrically involved joints, in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). METHOD Children with active...
