The Impact

This is a case report demonstrating appropriate diagnosis and management of PSS and its possible sequelae. Posner-Schlossman Syndrome is characterized by recurrent, unilateral attacks of significantly increased intraocular pressure. The etiology and pathophysiology of this condition remains unclear. Duration of this chronic condition and the risk of developing secondary open angle glaucoma are directly proportional. The patient and managing optometrist must be aware of the necessity of timely intervention during acute attacks, as well as adherent longitudinal care to preserve function and quality of life. The ensuing case report and review underscores the impact of this disease.

The Impact

Purpose. To compare the impact of visual field (VF) testing on intraocular pressure (IOP) change trends between healthy subjects and glaucoma patients. Methods. We recruited healthy volunteer subjects who did not have previous ocular diseases and open-angle glaucoma patients who were medically controlled well. IOP in both eyes of each participant was measured by using a noncontact tonometer at five time points: before, immediately after (0 minute), and 10, 30, and 60 minutes after the standard automated perimetry. Repeated measures ANOVA was used to analyze the effect of VF testing on IOP change trends in healthy and glaucoma eyes. Results. Forty healthy subjects (80 eyes) and 31 open-angle glaucoma patients (62 eyes) were included for the study. The baseline IOP of healthy and glaucoma eyes was 16.11 ± 3.01 mmHg and 15.78 ± 3.57 mmHg, respectively. After the VF testing, the IOP in healthy eyes was decreased by 1.5% at 0 minute, 6.5% at 10 minutes (P<0.001), 6.6% at 30 minutes (P<0.001), and 7.0% at 1 hour (P<0.001), indicating that this reduction was sustained for at least 1 hour. However, the IOP in glaucoma eyes was increased by 12.7% at 0 minute (P<0.001) and, then, returned towards initial values 1 hour after the VF testing. Conclusions. IOP change trends after VF field testing between healthy subjects and glaucoma patients were quite different. VF testing led to a mild and relatively sustained IOP decrease in healthy subjects, whereas IOP in open-angle glaucoma patients tended to significantly increase immediately after VF testing and, then, returned to pretest values after 1 hour. These findings indicate that the factors of VF testing should be considered in the clinical IOP measurements.

The Impact

A swollen limb from lymphoedema is a chronic condition that has not had a high medical profile. Very little research on how it is experienced has been carried out. This paper reports on part of the results of a survey of 137 people with lymphoedema conducted among members of the Lymphoedema Association of Queensland. One of the aims of the study was to assess the degree and nature of the impact of the condition on individual lives. Responses to two open-ended questions were analysed, revealing a considerable variation in the effects of the condition from ?minimal? to ?devastating?, and a range of impacts across functional and emotional dimensions. The condition can substantially reduce mobility and capacity for many activities, cause embarrassment and distress, and make wearing normal clothes difficult, and thus can have a considerable impact on quality of life. For many, the condition is secondary to treatment for cancer, resulting from removal of lymph nodes, and develops with no prior warning or information at a time when recovery from cancer is in prospect. This can make acceptance, participation in treatment and adjustment particularly difficult. Our data map the nature of the impact of a swollen limb (or limbs) on quality of life and body image.

Во многих странах продолжается увеличение заболеваемости первичной открытоугольной глаукомой, а гериатрический статус пациентов ухудшается. В связи с этим актуальным является коррекция гериатрического статуса. Цель исследования - изучение гериатрического статуса пациентов, страдающих ПОУГ, после проведения селективной лазерной трабекулопластики. Результаты исследования базируются на комплексном офтальмологическом и гериатрическом обследовании до и после проведения селективной лазерной трабекулопластики. При изучении гериатрического статуса проведен анализ изменений таких гериатрических синдромов как зрительный дефицит, индекс качества жизни, депрессивный синдром. В ходе исследования установлено позитивное влияние селективной лазерной трабекулопластики на величину снижения зрительного дефицита. Так, острота зрения без коррекции и максимальная корригированная острота зрения после проведенного оперативного вмешательства повысились соответственно с 0,51±0,02 до 0,6±0,01 и с 0,62±0,02 до 0,68±0,01. Однако селективная лазерная трабекулопластика не изменила уровень депрессии, а интегральный показатель качества жизни имел тенденцию к снижению с 438,6±3,9 баллов до 429,4±3,8 баллов. Это указывает на необходимость коррекции гериатрического статуса больных с первичной открытоугольной глаукомой In many countries, the incidence of primary open-angle glaucoma continues to increase, and the geriatric status of patients is deteriorating. In this regard, the correction of geriatric status is relevant. The aim of the study was to study the geriatric status of patients suffering from POAG after selective laser trabeculoplasty. The results of the study are based on a comprehensive ophthalmological and geriatric examination before and after selective laser trabeculoplasty. When studying the geriatric status, the analysis of changes in such geriatric syndromes as visual deficit, quality of life index, and depressive syndrome was carried out. The study found a positive effect of selective laser trabeculoplasty on the reduction of visual deficit. Thus, the visual acuity without correction and the maximum corrected visual acuity after the surgical intervention increased, respectively, from 0.51±0.02 to 0.6±0.01 and from 0.62±0.02 to 0.68±0.01. However, selective laser trabeculoplasty did not change the level of depression, and the integral indicator of quality of life tended to decrease from 438.6±3.9 points to 429.4±3.8 points. This indicates the need to correct the geriatric status of patients with primary open-angle glaucoma
