Surgical treatment of postoperative endophthalmitis is an urgent problem of ophthalmic surgery. Purpose.The aim of the study was to analyze the results of treatment of patients with postoperative endophthalmitis using perfluorodecalin and antibiotic solutions for vitreal cavity tamponade. Materials and methods. For the period 2016-2020, 35 patients (35 eyes) were operated in the Cheboksary branch of the S. Fyodorov Eye Microsurgery Federal State Institution. In 26 patients, this complication occurred after cataract extraction, in 7 after vitreoretinal operations, in 2 after intravitreal administration of an angiogenesis inhibitor. Visual acuity before treatment of endophthalmitis in 3 patients was to 0.02– 0.08, in 16 – counting of fingers in the face, in 13 – pr.l.certa, in 3-pr. l. incerta. All patients underwent vitrectomy with perfluorodecalin tamponade of the vitreal cavity for up to 14 days and intravitreal administration of vancomycin 1 mg and ceftazidime 2.25 mg at the end of the operation. On day 2-3, all patients underwent additional intravitreal administration of antibiotics, depending on the detected pathogen. Further, in 22 patients, the removal of perfluorodecalin and the remaining preretinal and peripherally located exudate was performed, in 13 patients - tamponade of the vitreal cavity with silicone oil. Results. As a result of the treatment according to the developed method, it was possible to preserve visual functions in 32 patients (91%) out of 35. At discharge, the corrected visual acuity was from 0.1 to 0.7 (0.28±0.2). After 6 months, the corrected visual acuity in 32 patients was from 0.1 to 0.9 (0.36±0.2). Visual acuity (above 0.3) was achieved in 26 cases (74.3%). Conclusion. Clinical results demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed method of surgical treatment of endophthalmitis. Key words: postoperative endophthalmitis, perfluorodecalin, intravitreal administration of vancomycin and ceftazidime.

Purpose. To study the anatomical and functional results of various methods of surgical treatment of idiopathic macular rupture. Material and methods. In the course of this study, 50 medical records of patients with a diagnosis of macular rupture were randomly selected from the total number of those, who underwent the surgery at the Orenburg branch of The S. Fyodorov Eye Microsurgery Federal State Institution for 2020 year. Patients were divided into 3 groups. In the first group (38 eyes), the macular rupture was closed using ACP and PRP, in the second group (7 eyes) – using an inverted flap of the internal border membrane, in the third group (5 eyes) – by mechanical convergence of the edges of the rupture followed by tamponade of the vitreous cavity with silicone oil. Results. To assess the medical efficiency of the studied methods of surgical treatment of idiopathic macular rupture, the rate of increase in the maximum corrected visual acuity (MCVA) was calculated for each patient. Conclusion. The calculated indicator of the dynamics of vision improvement «the rate of BCVA growth» as a whole reflects the positive dynamics of the treatment of idiopathic macular rupture by surgical methods and can be used to assess the medical effectiveness of methods of treating patients with eye diseases initially with different values of the BCVA parameter. In the course of the analysis, no significant differences were found between the influence of various methods of surgical treatment of macular rupture on the rate of BCVA growth or rupture closure. Correlation analysis did not establish a statistically significant dependence of the growth rate of BCVA on the initial size of the rupture. Key words: macular rupture, inverted flap, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), autologous conditioned plasma (ACP).

Purpose – to conduct a retrospective analysis of the results of episcleral filling in the surgical treatment of primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Material and methods. Patients diagnosed with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment whom were undergone episcleral filling from 2015 to 2020 at the S. Fyodorov Eye Microsurgery Federal State Institution, the Kaluga Branch, were performed to a detailed retrospective analysis. Additionally, cases were analyzed when, after episcleral filling, the retina did not attach and later vitreoretinal surgery was performed. Results. Episcleral surgery was performed to the 486 eyes, repeated interventions were required to 126 eyes (26%). The presence of peripheral chorioretinal dystrophy of the retina (PCHDR) in paired eyes was found in only 45% of patients. In these patients’ retinal attachment was achieved with only one episcleral filling. In cases of lack of retinal attachment after episcleral surgery, the proportion of the presence of PCHDR in the paired eye was 84%. The superior and temporal segments were the most frequent places of localization of retinal rupture. At the same time, there were retinal ruptures in the upper segment in 30% of patients. The proportion of rupture in the external segment was 32%. The retinal rupture was localized in the upper external segment at 18% of cases. At 20% of cases, retinal ruptures were localized in the lower external and lower segments. Conclusion. The success of episcleral surgery depends on the thoroughness of the diagnosis, the detection of all existing retinal ruptures and their blocking during the surgical treatment. Key words: rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, episcleral filling, intravitreal surgery.

IntroductionThe perinatal–postnatal family environment is associated with childhood outcomes including impacts on physical and mental health and educational attainment. Family longitudinal cohort studies collect in-depth data that can capture the influence of an era on family lifestyle, mental health, chronic disease, education and financial stability to enable identification of gaps in society and provide the evidence for changes in government in policy and practice.Methods and analysisThe Queensland Family Cohort (QFC) is a prospective, observational, longitudinal study that will recruit 12 500 pregnant families across the state of Queensland (QLD), Australia and intends to follow-up families and children for three decades. To identify the immediate and future health requirements of the QLD population; pregnant participants and their partners will be enrolled by 24 weeks of gestation and followed up at 24, 28 and 36 weeks of gestation, during delivery, on-ward, 6 weeks postpartum and then every 12 months where questionnaires, biological samples and physical measures will be collected from parents and children. To examine the impact of environmental exposures on families, data related to environmental pollution, household pollution and employment exposures will be linked to pregnancy and health outcomes. Where feasible, data linkage of state and federal government databases will be used to follow the participants long term. Biological samples will be stored long term for future discoveries of biomarkers of health and disease.Ethics and disseminationEthical approval has been obtained from the Mater Research Ethics (HREC/16/MHS/113). Findings will be reported to (1) QFC participating families; (2) funding bodies, institutes and hospitals supporting the QFC; (3) federal, state and local governments to inform policy; (4) presented at local, national and international conferences and (5) disseminated by peer-review publications.

Abstract Objectives: There is a high rate of psychiatric comorbidity in patients with epilepsy. However, the impact of surgical treatment of refractory epilepsy on psychopathology remains under investigation. We aimed to examine the impact of epilepsy surgery on psychopathology and quality of life at 1-year post-surgery in a population of patients with epilepsy refractory to medication. Methods: This study initially assessed 48 patients with refractory epilepsy using the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis I Disorders (SCID-I), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and the Quality of Life in Epilepsy Inventory 89 (QOLIE-89) on admission to an Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU) as part of their pre-surgical assessment. These patients were again assessed using the SCID-I, QOLIE-89 and HADS at 1-year follow-up post-surgery. Results: There was a significant reduction in psychopathology, particularly psychosis, following surgery at 1-year follow-up (p < 0.021). There were no new cases of de novo psychosis and surgery was also associated with a significant improvement in the quality of life scores (p < 0.001). Conclusions: This study demonstrates the impact of epilepsy surgery on psychopathology and quality of life in a patient population with refractory surgery. The presence of a psychiatric illness should not be a barrier to access surgical treatment.

The Impact

Breast cancer is still associated with high mortality rates and one of the most important factors governing long survival is accurate and early diagnosis. In underdeveloped countries, this disease frequently is only detected in advanced stages; however, through mammography, many women have been diagnosed at early stages. In this context, the sentinel lymph node (SLN) technique is associated with less postoperative morbidity compared to axillary lymphadenectomy. Lymphoscintigraphy has emerged as a method for the evaluation of lymphatic drainage chains in various tumours, being both accurate and non invasive. The aim of this work is to present the main aspects which cause controversy about SLN and lymphoscintigraphy and the impact that these procedures have had on lymphedema after surgical treatment for breast cancer. A short review including papers in English, Spanish and Portuguese, available on Lilacs and Medline database, published between January, 2000 and July, 2008 was performed. The key words breast cancer, lymphoscintigraphy, SLN biopsy, lymphedema were used. Various studies have aimed to compare the incidence and prevalence of lymphedema according to the technique used; however, the population subjected to SLN is different from the one with indication for axillary lymphadenectomy regarding staging. Moreover, little is known about long term morbidity since it is a relatively new technique. In conclusion, the development of surgical techniques has permitted to minimize deformities and the current trend is that these techniques be as conservative as possible. Thus, lymphoscintigraphy plays an important role in the identification of SLN, contributing to the prevention and minimization of postoperative complications.

ABSTRACT Background and Aims: Foreign-body ingestion is a common phenomenon, especially in children. In normal adults, foreign-body ingestion is usually accidental and mostly ingestion occurs with food and impaction is a result of structural abnormalities of the upper gastrointestinal tract (UGIT). However, accidental ingestion of nonfood products is unusual; especially ingestion of pins (scarf or safety pins) and needles is unknown. We come across ingestion of these unusual/sharp foreign bodies routinely from the past few years. The aim of this study was to observe, over a period of 1 year, the spectrum of nonfood or true foreign-body ingestion in our community and to see the impact of an early endoscopy on outcome or retrieval of the ingested objects. Materials and Methods: In a prospective observational study, we studied the profile of foreign-body ingestion in normal individuals of all ages and both sexes, excluding the individuals with any structural abnormalities of the gut and the people with psychiatric ailment. Results: Of total 51 patients with foreign-body ingestion, 42 (82%) were 20 or <20 years of age with females constituting 86.3% of the total and males constituting only 13.7%. Foreign bodies ingested included 38 pins (74.5%), seven coins (13.7%), four needles (7.8%), and one denture and a nail (2%) each. Overall 26 (51%) foreign bodies were seen in UGIT (within reach of retrieval) at the time of endoscopy and all of them were retrieved. Nineteen (37.3%) patients reported within 6 h of ingestion, and majority of them (16 = 84.2%) had foreign bodies within UGIT and all of them were removed. Those patients (n = 32; 62.7%) who reported beyond 6 h, only 10 (31.25%) had foreign bodies in UGIT as a result of which the success rate of removal in these patients was only 32%. Conclusion: Most of our patients were young females and the common foreign bodies ingested were sharp including scarf pins followed by coins and needles. The success rate of retrieval was high in those who reported within 6 h of ingestion of foreign body. The rate of retrieval was 100% if foreign body was found on esophagogastroduodenoscopy. Hence, we recommend an early endoscopy in these patients and some alternative to use of scarf pins.
