Preoperative and postoperative endothelial cell morphology was examined in three types of patients participating in a randomised, controlled trial of cataract surgery. The first sustained modest endothelial cell loss and served as controls, the second and third sustained high cell loss, but only the latter progressed to bullous keratopathy. The technique of examining endothelial cell morphology...

Endothelial cell loss is a key indicator of the quality anterior segment surgery like cataract surgery. The amount and integrity corneal endothelial cells are two most essential factors determining transparency. Aim this study was to compare between superior scleral tunnel incision temporal clear for phacoemulsification. Prospective observational study. This prospective included 50 patients wit...

Purpose: To compare and investigate the short-term clinical outcomes between 10-0 polypropylene sutured intraocular lens (IOL) scleral fixation modified Yamane sutureless IOL in patients with or crystalline les dislocation aphakic state.Methods: From August 2012 to May 2022, medical records were retrospectively analyzed for 43 40 fixation. Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best corrected (BCVA)...

AIMS After keratoplasty, postoperative endothelial cell loss is calculated between the eye bank endothelial cell density (ebECD) and the postoperative specular microscopy (SM). To elucidate the very early cell loss, always described after penetrating keratoplasty (PK), we designed two complementary studies. METHODS (1) Clinical prospective study of 90 consecutive PKs (keratoconus, Fuchs' corn...

background: radiation-induced molecular changes on the endothelial surface of brain arteriovenous malformations (avm) may be used as markers for specific vascular targeting agents. in this study, we examined the level of expression of platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (pecam-1) on brain endothelial cell surface after radiation treatment, with the aim of targeting the radiation-induc...

PURPOSE To compare clinical outcomes after deep lamellar endothelial keratoplasty (DLEK) with Descemet stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK) performed as initial cases by a single surgeon. METHODS Sixteen patients with corneal endothelial were enrolled. Eight patients (8 eyes) underwent DLEK and 8 patients (8 eyes) DSEK. We measured uncorrected visual acuity, best corrected visual acuity ...

PURPOSE To study the endothelial cell morphology and corneal thickness changes after phacoemulsification by using the OZil torsional and longitudinal ultrasound techniques (Infiniti Vision System, Alcon Laboratories). SETTING Department of Ophthalmology, Clinical Center, University of Debrecen, Debrecen, Hungary. METHODS 52 patients with cataract were randomly assigned to longitudinal ultra...

High endothelial cell density (ECD) is essential for the corneal graft clarity. We evaluated ECD loss in 120 eyes that underwent penetrating keratoplasty (PK) in Eye Clinic Svjetlost in a one year follow up period. Patients were divided into 3 groups of high (N = 35), intermediate (N = 31) and low risk (N = 54) for graft failure. Postoperative central endothelial density, coefficient of variati...

objective: endothelium is a selective and permeable membrane for transferring nutrients and vital components to arterial wall. endothelial damage might lead to altered biological function of endothelium and clinical consequences such as atherosclerosis. blood pressure pulse always exerts circumferential tension to the arterial wall. hence, such tension together with other loads, play important ...
