Early Vitrectomy for Endophthalmitis After Cataract Surgery
EndophthalmitisCataract2 morePost-operative infectious endophthalmitis is devastating condition that causes a diffuse intraocular inflammation and may lead to blindness. Acute post-operative endophthalmitis usually presented within 6 weeks of intraocular procedure and diagnosis is confirmed by clinical examination and by the aid of B-scan ultrasonography.
Outcomes of Vitrectomy in Pediatric Retinal Detachment With Proliferative Vitreoretinopathy
Pediatric Rhegmatogenous Retinal DetachmentThe aim of this study is to report outcomes of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) in pediatric retinal detachment (RD) accompanied with proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) as well as complications and factors influencing the final anatomical and functional results. This is retrospective consecutive case series of 14 eyes treated with primary PPV for RD repair. Average postoperative follow-up period is 34 months.
Metabolic Anomolies Associated With the 6 Month Clinical Evolution of Patients Suffering From Motor...
Conversion DisorderThe main objective of this study is to make a first evaluation of the relationship between metabolic abnormalities objectified by Positron emission tomography with 2-deoxy-2-[fluorine-18]fluoro- D-glucose integrated with computed tomography (PET CT 18 FDH) performed at rest at the onset of symptoms in patients with a first episode of motor conversion disorder and the persistence of a motor disability at 6 months measured by the modified Rankin score (mRS).
Comparison of a Spectral OCT/SLO With the Stratus OCT for Imaging Various Retinal Pathologies
Macular HoleRPE Detachment2 moreThe purpose of this study is to compare the newly released Spectral OCT/SLO (OTI, Toronto, Canada) with the Zeiss Stratus OCT (Carl-Zeiss Meditec, Dublin, CA) with regards to the quality of the images obtained as well as the ease of use.

Neuroimaging Biomarkers of Prognosis in Motor Functional Neurological Disorders
Conversion DisorderFunctional Neurological Disorder (FND/ Conversion Disorder) is a highly prevalent and disabling neuropsychiatric condition. Motor FND symptoms include Nonepileptic Seizures, Functional Movement Disorders and Functional Weakness. Clinical research across these motor FND subtypes, including research studies from the candidate's laboratory, suggest that these populations share many clinical and phenotypic similarities that warrant increased research integration. Furthermore, despite the prevalence of motor FND, little is known about the underlying pathophysiology of this condition, which is a prerequisite for the development of biologically informed prognostic and treatment response biomarkers. Across 3 published neurobiologically focused articles, the candidate proposed a framework through which to conceptualize motor FND. It is suggested that motor FND develops in the context of structural and functional alterations in neurocircuits mediating emotion awareness/expression, bodily awareness, viscerosomatic processing and behavioral regulation. The overall goal of this project is to comprehensively investigate structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) biomarkers of prognosis across motor FND. Multimodal structural and functional MRI techniques (including voxel-based morphometry, cortical thickness, resting-state functional connectivity and diffusion tensor imaging tractography) will be used to systemically probe brain-prognosis relationships. Novel aspects of this proposal include the study of the full spectrum of motor FND, consistent with a trans-diagnostic approach.
Correlation of Metamorphopsia and Aniseikonia to Retinal Shift Following Retinal Detachment Surgery...
Retinal DetachmentIndividuals operated for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment will be prospectively evaluated for postoperative retinal shift. Fundus autofluorescence will be used to evaluate retinal shift that will be correlated to visual acuity, metamorphopsia, aniseikonia, and stereopsis.
Evolution of Aqueous Flare in Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachments Treated With Gas or Silicone Oil...
Retinal DetachmentTo examine and to compare the evolution of aqueous flare from presentation until the third postoperative month in a series of consecutive patients who underwent primary vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD), in 4 groups of patients : Group 1 : 48 eyes primarily treated with gas tamponade Group 2 : 11 eyes primarily treated with silicone oil tamponade Sub-Group G1RG : 8 eyes among Group 1 treated with gas after relapse Sub-Group G1RS : 3 eyes among Group 1 treated with silicone oil after relapse
Vitrectomy and Scleral Shortening for Macular Hole Retinal Detachment or Myopic Traction Maculopathy...
Macular Hole Retinal DetachmentMyopic Traction MaculopathyThe medical records of 16 eyes of 16 patients with macular hole retinal detachment or myopic traction maculopathy who received viterctomy including internal limiting membrane peeling and scleral shorting surgery were reviewed. Best-corrected visual acuity, axial length, retinal reattachment and macular hole closure, the shape of staphyloma determined by optical coherence tomography and 3-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging were assessed.
