Many potential complications in laser cataract surgery (LCS) can be avoided by careful patient selection. Patients with kyphosis, restlessness, and massive obesity might profit from other cataract surgery options. Miosis, a problem obviously caused at least in part by the femtosecond laser, can be prevented by preoperatively applying nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) eye drops. Intumescent white cataracts should receive a miniature capsulotomy first. To detect capsular tags, a modified dimple-down technique is recommended.

First Line Treatment

Intrathecal drug delivery (ITDD) allows drugs to be placed near to central receptors Drug side-effects may be reduced as small doses are required compared to with systemic administration External or internal ITDD systems are available ITDD requires careful patient selection and preparation Opioids, local anaesthetics, and clonidine are the most commonly used intrathecal drugs; ziconotide can be used as first line treatment...

Surface Changes

Despite careful patient selection, decalcification still remains a problem during fixed orthodontic treatment. The advantages of a method of delivering fluoride to the area of the tooth most at risk, which does not rely on patient compliance, makes a fluoride releasing bonding adhesive desirable. The aims of this study were to investigate the potential of a fluoride releasing bonding material for preventing decalcification and to monitor its efficacy at retaining orthodontic brackets. In order to carry out the first part of the study it was necessary to devise a reproducible and sensitive method of recording the extent and severity of any decalcification. A photographic technique which fulfils these criteria is described.

Expected Benefits

Purpose The goal of this article was to assess the utility of thickened liquids for patients with oropharyngeal dysphagia. Conclusion The use of thickened liquids is pervasive, but clinical justification and understanding varies widely among practitioners of deglutition. The benefit of diet/liquid recommendations and other compensatory strategies should be validated via instrumental examination. As highlighted in this review, thickening of liquids may pose serious implications and consequences for both a patient's physical welfare and quality of life. Careful patient selection is recommended to ensure the expected benefits from liquid thickeners outweigh the risks.

Purpose: to analyze the efficacy of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) after cataract extraction. To determine the NSAID’s role in post-operative inflammatory processes treatment. Results: the rationale of NSAIDs use before and after cataract surgery was validated. The NSAIDs efficacy in terms of post-op inflammation reduction was confirmed. Among NSAIDs benefits, the convenient and easy-to-use instillation regimen of Bromfenac 0.09% eye drops solution was highlighted.
