Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

VIEW, EarlyView.
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.

Randomized, single‐centre, double‐blinded repeated dose investigation of safety and tolerability of ocular administrations of a novel silica eye drop product in healthy volunteers

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Managing ocular diseases often requires frequent eye drop administration, which can challenge patient compliance. A long‐acting eye drop technology using an amorphous synthetic silica composite was developed to address this. Our study aimed to assess the safety and tolerability of the Silica Eye Drop platform in healthy volunteers over

Retinal oxygen saturation and retinal vessel diameter in glaucoma patients before and after trabeculectomy

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To compare retinal vessel oxygen saturations and diameters before, 1 and 3 months after trabeculectomy. Methods Retinal oxygen saturations and vessel diameters were obtained using retinal oximetry. The effect of the postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) decrease on the arteriovenous difference (AV‐difference) was evaluated ...

Development of a microstent system for minimally invasive glaucoma surgery

Current Directions in Biomedical Engineering, 2017
Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. An increased intraocular pressure (IOP) is known as major risk factor. Currently, drainage devices that are implanted by means of minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) represent a ...

Aniridia‐associated keratopathy: Clinical and molecular mechanisms of disease progression and emerging therapeutic targets

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Congenital aniridia is a rare genetic disorder primarily caused by pathogenic variants of the PAX6 gene. It leads to various panocular anomalies, including aniridia‐associated keratopathy (AAK). This review highlights recent insights into its pathogenesis, focusing on clinical staging, microstructural changes in the cornea and molecular ...
