Evaluation of filtering blebs using the ‘Wuerzburg bleb classification score’ compared to clinical findings
BACKGROUND To determine the agreement between intraocular pressure and the 'Wuerzburg bleb classification score', as well as between single items of the score and intraocular pressure. Interobserver variability was analyzed. METHODS 57 post-trabeculectomy eyes were included. Colour photographs were used to score the filtering bleb in accordance to the Wuerzburg bleb classification score by tw...
متن کاملEvaluation of filtering bleb function by thermography.
AIM To determine whether thermography can be used to evaluate bleb function. METHODS The surface temperatures of filtering blebs from 39 eyes of 33 post-trabeculectomy patients were measured using thermography. We introduced a new parameter: the temperature decrease in the filtering bleb (TDB) where TDB = (mean temperature of the temporal and nasal bulbar conjunctiva)-(temperature of the filt...
متن کاملcorrelation between filtering bleb clinical morphology, anterior segment optical coherence tomography findings, and intraocular pressure
purpose : to evaluate usefulness of anterior segment optical coherence tomography (as-oct) in evaluation of filtering bleb functionality and to correlate its findings with clinical bleb examination methods : in this cross-sectional, descriptive study 55 eyes with apparently functional bleb were evaluated. following a comprehensive ophthalmic examination, filtering bleb grading was performed bas...
متن کامل[Evaluation of conjunctival epithelium of filtering blebs by impression cytology].
PURPOSE To study the ocular surface in filtering blebs using impression cytology, comparing the bleb side and areas outside the bleb edges. METHODS Twelve filtering blebs of 8 patients were included: 4 cases of trabeculectomy without mitomycin C (MMC), 6 cases of trabeculectomy with MMC, and 2 cases of non-penetrating glaucoma surgery. Impression cytology specimens were taken from filtering b...
متن کاملEvaluation of Children's Appendicitis Score Compared With Pediatric Appendicitis Score in Diagnosis of Pediatric Appendicitis
Introduction: Identification and promotion of diagnostic methods has been a continuous effort to reduce disease and its complications and reduce costs associated with treatment. Despite all these efforts and improving our knowledge of diseases and diagnostic tools, pediatric appendicitis remains part of the diagnostic challenge in the surgical field. The aim of this is to compare the two diagno...
