2431 Transscleral contact-cyclophotocoagulation: Is there a dose-effect correlation?
Purpose: Transscleral contect-cyclophotocoagulation has been used more end more in the treatment of therapy-refractive glaucomas, in recent years. A less pain sensation, reported by the patients, during b-eatment in comparison with cycle-cryocoagulatio was one important reason for increased usuage. The dose-effect correlation for exposure time, energy used and number of the laser impacts variou...
متن کاملVariability of contact transscleral neodymium:YAG cyclophotocoagulation.
PURPOSE To study the variability of ciliary body lesions created by contact Nd:YAG cyclophotocoagulation and to evaluate modifications in probe design to reduce this variability. METHODS Contact transscleral Nd:YAG cyclophotocoagulation was performed on fresh, enucleated porcine eyes in three ways: using a standard, handheld fiber-optic probe (98 eyes); using the same probe with an adjunctive...
متن کاملTreatment of malignant glaucoma with contact transscleral cyclophotocoagulation.
Fivecasesofpseudophakicmalignant glaucoma were successfully treated with a single session of contact transscleralcyclophotocoagulation(CTCP) withdiodelaser(twenty4-Jspotsover 360°,1.5mmposterior to the limbus) after failureofNd:YAGlaserhyaloidotomy and vitreolysis. All patients except for case 2 had a preoperative diagnosis of chronic angle-closure glaucoma. At the end of the followup, all the ...
متن کاملSalivary and Serum Ferritin Levels: Is There a Correlation?
Background and Aim: Blood samples are used for the diagnosis of many diseases. Serum ferritin level is known to be a marker of anemia and iron overload disorders. However, blood collection is an invasive method. Saliva, as a bio-fluid, contains a va-riety of important components that are successfully used for assessment of body health. The use of saliva samples for ferritin evaluation can be re...
متن کاملNeodymium-YAG transscleral cyclophotocoagulation. The role of pigmentation.
Using a rabbit model we investigated the role of pigmentation of the ciliary body in obtaining ciliodestruction by neodymium-YAG transscleral cyclophotocoagulation. There was marked destruction of the ciliary body in pigmented rabbit eyes, but no histologic effect was observed in albino rabbit eyes. These findings suggest that pigmentation of the ciliary body is important for obtaining the desi...
