Pathogenesis of Common Ocular Diseases: Emerging Trends in Extracellular Matrix Remodeling
Semin Ophthalmol. 2023 Jul 9:1-13. doi: 10.1080/08820538.2023.2233601. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe prevalence of visual impairments in human societies is worrying due to retinopathy complications of several chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and many more that are on the rise worldwide. Since the proper function of this organ plays a pivotal role in people's quality of life, identifying factors affecting the development/exacerbation of ocular diseases is of particular interest among ophthalmology researchers. The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a reticular, three-dimensional (3D) structure that...

Examining the Influence of COVID-19 Infection and Pandemic Restrictions on the Risk of Corneal Transplant Rejection or Failure: A Multicenter Study
CONCLUSIONS: This study found no significant increase in the risk of graft rejection or failure in patients with a prior keratoplasty history following COVID-19 diagnosis nor in any patients who had a new keratoplasty done during 2020-2022 when compared to a similar pre-pandemic interval.PMID:37427895 | DOI:10.1080/08820538.2023.2234495 (Source: Seminars in Ophthalmology)

Image-Guided Marking versus Manual Marking in Phacoemulsification with Toric Intraocular Lens (IOL) Implantation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Clinical Trials
CONCLUSION: Image-guided marking is prior to manual marking. As it can bring less toric IOL axis misalignment, less postoperative astigmatism, better postoperative UDVA and smaller difference vector for the patients with toric IOL implantation.PMID:37400160 | DOI:10.1080/08820538.2023.2231575 (Source: Seminars in Ophthalmology)
