Effect of pterygium excision on mean corneal curvature.

Objective: To determine the difference in mean corneal curvatures before and after pterygium excision. Study Design: Quasi-experimental study. Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, Holy Family Hospital, Rawalpindi. Period: 1st January 2015 to 1st July 2015. Material & Methods: 68 patients aged between 18 to 65 years were included in the study. Patients with history of ocular trauma, ocular surgery, glaucoma, anti-glaucoma treatment, allergy to steroids, pseudo pterygium, recurrent pterygium and presence of corneal abnormalities such as, scarring that might affect the astigmatic value were excluded. All patients underwent comprehensive ophthalmic examination by slit lamp and best corrected visual acuity and keratometric values were noted. Pterygium excision was done by a single surgeon. BCVA and keratometric readings were taken again after 2 weeks of pterygium excision. Results: Mean age was 37.60 ± 11.11 years. Out of these 68 patients, 44 (64.71%) were male and 24 (35.29%) were females. Mean pre-operative corneal curvature was 2.99 ± 0.69D and post-operative corneal curvature was 1.70 ± 0.40D with P-value of <0.0001 which is statistically significant. Conclusion: This study concluded that pterygium excision brings significant change in corneal curvature in patients of pterygium induced astigmatism.

Pterygium Excision

Background: Pterygium induces a significant amount of astigmatism. Pterygium excision with conjunctival limbal autograft results in significant reduction in astigmatism by inducing a reversal of pterygium induced corneal flattening thereby improving the vision. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the amount of corneal astigmatism in patients with pterygium before and one month (4 weeks) after surgery. Methodology: The prospective observational study was conducted in 31 patients who underwent pterygium excision with limbal autograft in Kathmandu Medical College Teaching Hospital during the study period of 12 months duration. Patients with recurrent pterygium, pseudopterygium, history of ocular trauma, history of ocular surgery, corneal scarring were excluded from the study. After surgery, patients were followed for four weeks. Findings were recorded in the proforma and statistical analysis was done in SPSS version 19. Results: Pterygium was seen in all age groups with majority being in the active age range of 41-50 yrs. Females were most commonly affected. Significant difference in corneal astigmatism was noted postoperatively with a p value being 0.01. Conclusion: The technique of pterygium excision with limbal conjunctival autograft not only reduces the chances of recurrence but also helps in reducing the induced corneal astigmatism which is responsible for decreased vision in patients with pterygium.

Background. Breast milk is the best food given to babies especially when the baby is 0-6 months old. Many of the benefits felt by one of them is getting the nutrients needed by the baby in his golden period. In nutrition status monitoring shows that the coverage of exclusive breastfeeding during the first 6 months by mothers is still very low, one of the reasons is the inadequacy of breast milk production. Oxytocin massage is a useful therapy in increasing the hormone prolactin so that the production of breast milk in mothers will also increase.Purpose. To find out the effect of oxytocin massage on the increase in the production of breast milk in nursing mothers who have babies aged 0-6 months.Method.This study uses a quasi-experimental design using one group pre-post test. The number of samples was 33 people, with the inclusion criteria being that the mother did not use drugs to increase the production of breast milk/milk booster and was willing to follow the treatment in the study, while the exclusion criteria were that the mother did not exclusively breastfeed her baby, had an areola inverter breast anatomy structure, had a history of open wounds in the back area. Prior to the oxytocin massage, respondents were measured for signs of breast milk adequacy through questionnaires filled out before and after the intervention, then the baby's weight was measured before and after the intervention using a baby's weight measurement after 4 weeks of oxytocin massage.Results. Oxytocin massage intervention can increase the production of breast milk by 0.52 which from before the intervention by 1.12 to 1.64 after intervention. Based on the results of dependent T Test obtained P-value 0.0001 which means there is a meaningful relationship between the administration of oxytocin massage to the increase in the production of breast milk in nursing mothers.Conclusion. There is an influence of occult massage on the increase of breast milk production in nursing mothers who have babies aged 0-6 months.Suggestion. Researchers are then expected to use more samples and longer periods of intervention Keywords: Oxytocin massage, Breast Milk, Breastfeeding ABSTRAK Latar belakang. Air Susu Ibu (ASI) merupakan makanan yang terbaik diberikan kepada bayi terlebih saat bayi tersebut berusia 0-6 bulan. Banyak manfaat yang dirasakan salah satunya adalah mendapatkan zat gizi yang dibutuhkan oleh bayi di periode keemasannya. Pada pemantauan status gizi menunjukan bahwa cakupan pemberian ASI Ekslusif selama 6 bulan pertama oleh ibu masih sangat rendah, salah satu alasannya adalah ketidakcukupan produksi ASI. Pijat oksitosin merupakan terapi yang bermanfaat dalam meningkatkan hormone prolaktin sehingga produksi ASI pada ibu juga akan meningkat.Tujuan Penelitian Untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemberian pijat oksitosin terhadap peningkatan produksi ASI pada ibu menyusui yang memiliki bayi berusia 0-6 bulan.Metode. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain kuasi eksperimen dengan menggunakan one group pre-post test. Jumlah sampel sebanyak 33 orang, dengan kriteria inklusi adalah Ibu tidak menggunakan obat untuk meningkatkan produksi ASI/booster ASI dan bersedia mengikuti treatmen pada penelitian, sedangkan kriteria eklusi adalah ibu tidak menyusui bayinya secara eksklusif, memiliki struktur anatomi payudara aerola inverter, memiliki riwayat luka terbuka di area punggung. Sebelum dilakukan pijat oksitosin, responden diukur tanda-tanda kecukupan ASI melalui kuesioner yang diisi sebelum dan sesudah intervensi, selanjutnya pada bayinya akan diukur berat badan sebelum dan sesudah intervensi menggunakan penimbangan berat badan bayi setelah 4 minggu pemberian pijat oksitosin.Hasil. Intervensi pijat oksitosin dapat meningkatkan produksi ASI sebesar 0,52 yang dari sebelum intervensi sebesar 1,12 menjadi 1,64 setelah dilakukannya intervensi.Berdasarkan hasil Uji T dependen didapatkan hasil P-value 0,0001 yang artinya terdapat hubungan yang bermakna antara pemberian pijat oksitosin terhadap peningkatan produksi ASI pada ibu yang menyusui.Kesimpulan. Terdapat pengaruh pemberian pijat oksitosin terhadap peningkatan produksi ASI pada ibu menyusui yang memiliki bayi berusia 0-6 bulan.Saran.
