Prevalence of ectatic corneal conditions among keratorefractive candidates
Background Noninflammatory corneal ectasias is a group of diseases including keratoconus (KC), pellucid marginal degeneration (PMD), and keratoglobus. KC is the most common form of corneal ectasia characterized by progressive thinning of the central or ...

Metachronous Primary Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor and Adenocarcinoma: A Case Report
ABSTRACT Background Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has a dismal prognosis, with most patients presenting with advanced disease. Surgical resection remains the only potentially curative option, yet recurrence rates are high. Case We present a rare case of metachronous primary pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (PanNET) and PDAC in a 71‐year‐old ...

Risk Factors of Keratoconus in High School Students in Trinidad and Tobago: A Cross‐Sectional Study
ABSTRACT Background Keratoconus (KC) is the most common form of keratectasia that is associated with impaired vision and reduced quality of life, especially in adolescents. This study aims to identify and assess the risk factors associated with KC among high school students in Trinidad and Tobago (T&T).

Stromal Transplantation and corneal-sparing techniques in ectatic diseases
Corneal ectatic and degenerative disorders have traditionally been managed with tissue-replacement strategies such as penetrating keratoplasty (PK) and deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK). However, an improved understanding of corneal biomechanics, stromal wound healing, and immune privilege has driven a paradigm shift toward tissue-sparing and ...

Current review and a simplified "five-point management algorithm" for keratoconus
Keratoconus is a slowly progressive, noninflammatory ectatic corneal disease characterized by changes in corneal collagen structure and organization. Though the etiology remains unknown, novel techniques are continuously emerging for the diagnosis and ...

A minimally invasive, transepithelial corneal cross‐linking (TE‐CXL) approach is presented using upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs)‐loaded contact lenses (UCLs), after topical delivery of hyaluronate–riboflavin conjugates. The NIR‐to‐UV/blue light conversion by UCNPs in a UCL can activate riboflavin for TE‐CXL, resulting in the biomechanical strength ...
