A model for designing intraocular pressure-regulating glaucoma implants.

PLoS ONE, 2022
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, the health of which is vital for vision. The key risk factor for the development and progression of this disease is increased intraocular pressure (IOP).

Staging concept for aging management: Definition, mechanism, and coping strategies

VIEW, EarlyView.
We divided the overall aging stage into “pre‐aging”, “aging compensation”, and “aging disability”. For each stage, we delineate the clinical presentations, biological phenomena, theoretical underpinnings, and key management priorities. Abstract Aging, as a gradual and largely irreversible biological process, characterized by declining organismal ...

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.

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 ...

Hormonal replacement therapy in postmenopausal women ≥50 years is associated with the incidence of glaucoma: Evidence from 6576 females in Finland

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Hormonal replacement therapy (HRT) in postmenopausal women appears to affect glaucoma risk, but findings are inconsistent. We aimed to explore whether the use of postmenopausal HRT plays a role in glaucoma development in Finland. Methods The main outcome variable was glaucoma incidence measured by initiation of special reimbursement ...

Comprehensive study of traditional glaucoma drainage devices and emerging Micro Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS) devices: A review

Biomedical Engineering Advances
Glaucoma is a neurogenerative, irreversible disorder caused by elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in the eye, which can lead to vision loss. Currently, reducing IOP by providing an alternate pathway to aqueous humor is the only proven method for ...

Vitreous occlusion of tube implant in a phakic patient with traumatic glaucoma

Oman Journal of Ophthalmology, 2014
Tube implants or glaucoma drainage devices have become an important method of intraocular pressure reduction when treating complex cases of traumatic glaucoma. However, it is not uncommon to have complications associated with tube implants.

Corneal transplantation: Restoring sight to the blind

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Corneal blindness is one of the leading causes of vision loss worldwide. Transplantation of the cornea can restore vision and make blind patients see again. Corneal transplant surgery has undergone major evolution in recent decades with the advent of minimally invasive lamellar surgical approaches such as DMEK and DALK.

A prospective randomised comparison of two different stenting sutures when using the Baerveldt 101–350 aqueous shunt – Lab transition to clinical process

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose The Baerveldt glaucoma drainage implant (BGI 101–350) is one of the most effective treatment options for managing refractory glaucoma. To mitigate early hypotony in non‐valved implants, intraluminal occluding sutures (IOSs) are commonly used.
