Literature Review of Treatment of Challenging Macular Holes
Full-thickness macular holes (FTMHs), particularly challenging cases such as large (>650 µm), recurrent, or myopic holes, pose significant surgical challenges. Their pathogenesis involves vitreomacular traction, with classifications (Gass, IVTS, CLOSE) guiding management. Despite standard pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling achieving >90% closure in typical cases, success rates decline in complex scenarios. This review evaluates evolving surgical techniques for challenging FTMHs, focusing on anatomical and functional outcomes of novel ILM flap modificatio
Diabetic retinopathy detection between the past and the present
Diabetes Mellitus is a collective term for heterogeneous metabolic disorders whose main finding is chronic hyperglycemia. It has several complications that are mainly categorized into microvascular and macrovascular complications. In this article, we focus mainly on diabetic retinopathy, which is a major preventable cause of blindness worldwide. Screening and early detection modalities are the principal interests of researchers in order to stop diabetes complications in the eye. However, most of the known conventional methods are expensive, time-consuming and require high professional expertis
The Techniques Used for Flaps Management in External Dacryocystorhinostomy: Review Article
External dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) is a procedure that is established to treat obstructed tear ducts. There remains some discussion regarding dealing with the posterior flaps in DCR, and varying methods are utilized to enhance the outcome of surgery. This study examines alternative methods of dealing with the back flap in external DCR. The study will compare these methods in terms of success with surgery, healing in patients, as well as long-term outcomes. Clinic studies and research were reviewed to determine each posterior flap procedure's success. Some posterior flap procedures involve cu
Impact of Overweight and Obesity in children and adolescents on complete blood picture parameters
Obesity is a rising health problem in children and adolescents leads to serious metabolic and cardiac complications. Assessment of the effect of obesity on complete blood count in children and adolescents. This study was conducted on 40 overweight and obese children attending children outpatient obesity clinic in Minia University children hospital aged 6-18 years and 40 apparently healthy control age and sex matched; complete blood count (CBC) was done to all enrolled subjects then platelet lymphocyte ratio and neutrophil lymphocyte ratio were calculated. This study showed significant higher P
Effect of tremors on handwriting in patients at end stage renal diseases and on chronic hemodialysis
For document experts, determining the reasons behind tremors in handwritten strokes is never easy. When they faced shaky line writings, they conclude that the document is a fake, even if this may not always be the truth. Some genuine writers who are elderly, illiterate, or experiencing other health problems may also have tremors in their handwriting. Patients with chronic hemodialysis develop metabolic abnormalities, myopathies, and cognitive impairment with a subsequent effect on the quality of the handwriting. To assess the effect renal impairment and chronic hemodialysis on handwriting. Thi
