OBJECTIVES To investigate the relationship between rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) and frequent heavy lifting in a Danish working population through national register data. METHODS A dynamic cohort of all men aged 20-59 years in Denmark was followed through the Danish Occupational Hospitalisation Register from 1995 to 2010 for diagnosed RRD. Occupational categories were classified acc...

BACKGROUND Rhegmatogenous retinal detachments (RRD) with inferior breaks are usually treated by scleral buckling (SB) or pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) or a combination of both methods. However, applying a SB during PPV may produce a risk of choroidal haemorrhage. Following a recent pilot study showing that such cases can be safely treated by PPV without SB the authors re-examined their management...

PURPOSE To study the anatomical and visual outcomes and prognostic factors that may predict the outcomes of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) in children. METHODS A retrospective chart review was performed for patients 16 years of age or younger who underwent retinal reattachment surgery for RRD at the King Abdulaziz University Hospital from 1996 to 2005 and the King Khalid Eye Speciali...

STUDY OBJECTIVE to assess the accuracy of nasal capnography for the monitoring of ventilation in extubated morbidly obese patients, following bariatric surgery. DESIGN prospective descriptive study. SETTING Post-anesthesia care unit. PATIENTS 25 consecutive morbidly obese patients admitted to the PACU after open bariatric surgery. INTERVENTION Patients had a nasal cannula designed to ad...

PURPOSE Lysyl oxidase (LOX) cross-links the side chain of collagen and elastin and thereby contributes to extracellular matrix (ECM) integrity. ECM remodeling is seen in various ocular diseases. Until now, there have been no reports on the LOX enzyme's activity in ocular tissues. The purpose of this study was to estimate LOX activity and expression in human donor ocular tissues and to measure t...

To evaluate the occurrence of late-onset corneal haze (LOCH) after vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) in photorefractive keratectomy (PRK)-treated eyes. This observational cohort study comprised 13 eyes of 13 patients who underwent vitrectomy for RRD and who had been subjected to PRK years earlier. The occurrence of LOCH was evaluated together with all the preoperative, intr...

Objective To assess pre-operative conditions that could influence primary anatomical success rate in a cohort of patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachments (RRD) treated vitrectomy and no scleral buckling. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed group underwent pars plana gas tamponade without buckling for RRD between 2014 2019, minimum follow-up 4 months. Results 305 eyes 301 were...

To report a case of sequential bilateral inferior retinal detachments secondary to inversion table therapy. A 67-year-old-male developed inferior rhegmatoegnous retinal detachments (RRD) in both eyes on two different occasions with the use of inversion therapeutic tables. Various predisposing factors have been documented for RRD such as previous cataract surgery, peripheral retinal degeneration...

Background: IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is an autoimmune disorder and frequently involve multiple organs. The respiratory tract one of the most involved sites. Objectives: This study aimed to compare demographic clinical characteristics (IgG4-RRD) non-IgG4-RRD patients in a large cohort. Methods: We carried out retrospective 452 cases IgG4-RD (104 IgG4-RRD 348 patients) diagnosed at Peking U...
