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.

Psilocybin in alcohol use disorder and comorbid depressive symptoms: Results from a feasibility randomized clinical trial

Addiction, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Aims Psilocybin has emerged as a potential treatment for alcohol use disorder (AUD), but early efficacy data are inconsistent. Depression following alcohol detoxification significantly increases the risk of relapse. This pilot study aimed to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of psilocybin‐assisted

The efficacy and safety of reducing intraocular pressure to single‐digit levels in Normal‐tension glaucoma: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose This systematic review and meta‐analysis aim to evaluate the efficacy and safety of further lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) to single‐digit levels in treated patients with progressive normal‐tension glaucoma (NTG). Methods A literature search was conducted in MEDLINE (via PubMed), Scopus and Web of Science. We selected studies that

A study of primary open angle glaucoma in Diabetic patients [PDF]

Perspectives In Medical Research, 2018
Introduction: Primary open angle glaucoma is the commonest form of glaucoma accounting for atleast half of all the glaucomas. Intra Ocular Pressure is a definite and important risk factor for developing glaucomatous damage. Open-angle glaucoma is an

The impacts of high refractive errors on self‐reported visual function and visual concern

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To examine the association between refractive errors and self‐reported visual function and visual concern, considering self‐perceived present eyesight, concerns about vision, accomplishing less and limitations in daily activities in an eye‐healthy cohort.

A Randomised Open Label Comparative Clinical Trial on the Efficacy of Latanoprost and Timolol in Primary Open Angle Glaucoma [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2016
Introduction: Timolol, a beta blocker, is the most commonly prescribed first line therapy in the treatment of primary open angle glaucoma. Latanoprost, a prostaglandin analogue, is a novel drug in glaucoma therapy.

Interpreting the structure–function relationship in high myopia‐associated glaucoma: A review

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Visual field (VF) interpretation in high myopia‐associated glaucoma (HMG) is challenging due to frequent structure–function discordance and coexisting myopia‐related changes. These changes may reduce the reliability of conventional structure–function mapping and increase the risk of misclassifying non‐glaucomatous VF abnormalities as ...

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 ...
