Age related macular degeneration (
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a common cause of vision loss in older adults. There are two main types: dry AMD, characterized by drusen and retinal pigment abnormalities, and wet AMD, characterized by abnormal blood vessel growth. Risk factors include increasing age, smoking, family history, and genetics. Diagnosis involves examination of the retina and macula using techniques like funduscopy, fluorescein angiography, and optical coherence tomography. Treatment options for wet AMD aim to stop blood vessel growth through therapies like anti-VEGF injections, photodynamic therapy, and laser photocoagulation. Lifestyle modifications and antioxidant supplements may help reduce risk of progression for dry AMD.
Inservice presentation/Age-related macular degeneration
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of blindness in older Americans. There are two main forms: dry AMD, characterized by fatty deposits under the retina, and wet AMD, characterized by abnormal blood vessel growth under the retina. Both forms can damage central vision over time, with wet AMD potentially causing rapid, permanent vision loss. Risk factors include age, smoking, diet, and family history. While there are no cures, treatments aim to slow progression and manage symptoms through nutritional supplements, anti-VEGF injections, and low vision aids.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a common cause of vision loss in older individuals. It features abnormalities in the photoreceptor, retinal pigment epithelium, Bruch's membrane, and choroidal complex, often resulting in geographic atrophy and/or neovascularization. There are two main forms: dry AMD characterized by drusen and RPE abnormalities, and wet AMD characterized by the growth of abnormal blood vessels. Dry AMD progresses slowly and may cause moderate vision loss, while wet AMD can cause rapid, severe vision loss. Treatments include antioxidants to reduce risk of progression and anti-VEGF drugs or photocoagulation to treat wet AMD.

Optical coherence tomography optical biopsy with a short photonic needleSociety for Heart Attack Prevention and Eradication
This document summarizes research on using optical coherence tomography (OCT) to characterize coronary plaques. OCT uses near-infrared light to generate high-resolution cross-sectional images of tissue microstructure. Researchers studied 357 arterial segments ex vivo using OCT and validated plaque types (fibrous, calcific, lipid-rich) against histology with high accuracy. A pilot clinical study of 10 patients found OCT feasible and safe for examining plaques before and after percutaneous coronary intervention, identifying various plaque types and procedural complications like dissections. While promising, OCT imaging in patients requires overcoming challenges like blood flow obstruction and motion artifacts.Non incisional, non laser refractive surgery
This document discusses various refractive surgical procedures including:
1. Epikeratophakia and intracorneal rings for corneal refractive procedures
2. Clear lens extraction and phakic IOLs for lenticular refractive procedures
It provides details on indications, contraindications, surgical techniques and complications for these procedures.

Refractiveerrors 130309052054-phpapp01
Refractive errors occur when there is a mismatch between the eye's optical power and its axial length. The most common refractive errors are myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. Myopia occurs when the eye's axial length is too long, causing light to focus in front of the retina. Hyperopia is the opposite, with light focusing behind the retina due to a shorter axial length. Astigmatism causes blurred vision due to an irregularly shaped cornea or lens. These refractive errors can be corrected using glasses, contact lenses, refractive surgery, or intraocular lenses. A complete eye exam using tools like a phoropter and autorefractor can diagnose a patient's refractive error.
Rules in refractive surgery + cases presentation
The document discusses guidelines for evaluating corneal topography maps and determining eligibility for refractive surgery. It describes the normal and abnormal patterns seen on 4 key topography maps - anterior sagittal, corneal thickness, anterior elevation, and posterior elevation. Parameters like keratometry readings, pachymetry data, and Q values are also assessed. Rules related to corneal thickness, ablation depth, and residual stromal bed are outlined to help determine how much refractive error can safely be corrected.

Determinanats Of Visual Outcomes After Phacoemulsification Cataract Surgery I...Dr. Jagannath Boramani
This document summarizes a study conducted at HV Desai Eye Hospital in Pune from July 2015 to June 2016. The study aimed to identify reasons for refractive surprises after cataract surgery by examining surgical variables, biometry variables, and spectacle variables. It involved 500 patients who underwent uncomplicated cataract surgery. The results showed that 23.34% of patients had uncorrected visual acuity less than 6/18 after surgery, with post-operative astigmatism being the most important factor. Using optic scans, improving incision sites, and toric IOLs can help reduce astigmatism and improve uncorrected visual acuity.Secondary Piggyback Iol Implantation For Correction Of Residual Refractive Er...

1) The document describes a study on using secondary intraocular lens (IOL) implantation through the piggyback technique to correct residual refractive errors after cataract surgery.
2) 5 eyes that had primary IOLs implanted in the capsular bag underwent secondary Sulcoflex IOL implantation in the ciliary sulcus.
3) Results found median uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuity improved after secondary IOL implantation. The median spherical equivalent refractive error was within 0.00 diopters of the targeted correction.000304 ascrs poster_032907
This document describes a logistic regression model developed to distinguish keratoconic eyes from normal eyes based on analysis of Orbscan topography parameters. The model uses maximum posterior elevation, anterior elevation to best fit sphere ratio, and inferior-superior difference in 3mm keratometry values. When applied to 207 normal eyes and 42 keratoconic eyes, the model achieved 99% accuracy with high sensitivity and specificity. The authors conclude the model may help detect subtle corneal abnormalities and risk of ectasia.
Astigcorrection
This document discusses various methods for correcting astigmatism, including glasses, contact lenses, incisional procedures, corneal inlays, excimer laser ablation, and toric intraocular lenses. It covers measuring astigmatism, factors to consider for different correction methods, potential sources of error, and tips for improving accuracy of excimer laser ablation.

Ocular Disorders-Insight Pharma Reports
Available to Insight Pharma Reports is Ocular Disorders: Rising Therapeutics, Technologies, and Devices Report. This report begins with outlining Age-related macular degeneration (both wet and dry) and delving into Anti-VEGF therapies in chapter 2. Further providing substantial weight to this report, several companies were interviewed on their approach to targeting wet and dry AMD, their strategies for seeking alternative therapeutic options, and the hardships they have encountered in their research and product execution.
Age related macular degeneration
Macular degeneration is a medical condition that usually affects older adults and results in loss of vision in the center of the visual field. It occurs in two forms: dry or geographic macular degeneration, which accounts for 90% of cases and results in atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelial layer; and wet or neovascular macular degeneration, which accounts for 10% of cases and involves abnormal blood vessel growth in the eye. Risk factors include age over 50, heredity, nutrition, smoking, hypertension, sunlight exposure, and cataracts. Treatment depends on the type, with no effective treatment for dry macular degeneration but options like anti-VEGF therapy, photodynamic therapy, and surgery
Posterior segment complications of refractive surgery
This document discusses various posterior segment complications that can occur after refractive eye surgery procedures like LASIK and lens-based refractive surgeries. It describes complications such as retinal detachments, macular hemorrhages, macular holes, choroidal neovascular membranes that have been reported after LASIK. It also discusses complications for lens-based refractive surgeries like perforated globe, suprachoroidal hemorrhage, dropped nucleus, cystoid macular edema, macular phototoxicity, retinal detachment, and endophthalmitis. Risk factors and management strategies for many of these complications are provided. The document concludes with recommendations for refractive surgeons to help prevent or properly manage some of these complications.
Refractive optics
This document discusses paraxial geometrical optics and relevant issues in refractive surgery. It defines key terms like paraxial rays, marginal rays, apertures, pupils, and optical zones. It describes how centering the ablation on the pupil is important to maximize visual function and minimize aberrations. Decentration of more than 0.1-0.2mm can erase benefits of customized ablation. Clinical cases demonstrate problems that can arise from decentration, including glare, halos, and irregular astigmatism. The take-home message is that the ablation center should be centered on the miotic pupil to optimize outcomes.
Lamellar Keratoplasty by Michael Duplessie
This document discusses the history and recent advances in lamellar keratoplasty techniques. It provides details on different types of lamellar keratoplasty including anterior lamellar keratoplasty (ALK) and deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK). Recent advances in surgical equipment like microkeratomes and lasers have improved surgeons' ability to perform lamellar surgery and expose Descemet's membrane. This has reduced surgery time and improved safety while holding promise to reduce optical distortions and improve vision outcomes. Lamellar keratoplasty provides benefits over penetrating keratoplasty by removing corneal pathology while adding structural support and decreasing the risk of immune-mediated graft rejection.
Final version lasik ppt
The document discusses refractive surgery procedures for correcting vision, including LASIK, PRK, and lens implants. It describes how each procedure works to reshape the cornea and lens to reduce nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. The risks are generally low but include infection, glare, and gradual refractive change over decades. The benefits are improved vision, though not necessarily perfect vision. Costs typically range from $1000 to $2500 per eye.

biomechanics of running. Dr.dhwani.pptx
The biomechanics of running involves the study of the mechanical principles underlying running movements. It includes the analysis of the running gait cycle, which consists of the stance phase (foot contact to push-off) and the swing phase (foot lift-off to next contact). Key aspects include kinematics (joint angles and movements, stride length and frequency) and kinetics (forces involved in running, including ground reaction and muscle forces). Understanding these factors helps in improving running performance, optimizing technique, and preventing injuries.

PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s Perspective
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.
Pharmacology of Drugs for Congestive Heart Failure
Congestive Heart failure is caused by low cardiac output and high sympathetic discharge. Diuretics reduce preload, ACE inhibitors lower afterload, beta blockers reduce sympathetic activity, and digitalis has inotropic effects. Newer medications target vasodilation and myosin activation to improve heart efficiency while lowering energy requirements. Combination therapy, following an assessment of cardiac function and volume status, is the most effective strategy to heart failure care.

Receptor Discordance in Breast Carcinoma During the Course of Life
Definition:
Receptor discordance refers to changes in the status of hormone receptors (estrogen receptor ERα, progesterone receptor PgR, and HER2) in breast cancer tumors over time or between primary and metastatic sites.
Causes:
Tumor Evolution:
Genetic and epigenetic changes during tumor progression can lead to alterations in receptor status.
Treatment Effects:
Therapies, especially endocrine and targeted therapies, can selectively pressure tumor cells, causing shifts in receptor expression.
Heterogeneity:
Inherent heterogeneity within the tumor can result in subpopulations of cells with different receptor statuses.
Impact on Treatment:
Therapeutic Resistance:
Loss of ERα or PgR can lead to resistance to endocrine therapies.
HER2 discordance affects the efficacy of HER2-targeted treatments.
Treatment Adjustment:
Regular reassessment of receptor status may be necessary to adjust treatment strategies appropriately.
Clinical Implications:
Prognosis:
Receptor discordance is often associated with a poorer prognosis.
Biopsies:
Obtaining biopsies from metastatic sites is crucial for accurate receptor status assessment and effective treatment planning.
Monitoring:
Continuous monitoring of receptor status throughout the disease course can guide personalized therapy adjustments.
Understanding and managing receptor discordance is essential for optimizing treatment outcomes and improving the prognosis for breast cancer patients.
Storyboard on Skin- Innovative Learning (M-pharm) 2nd sem. (Cosmetics)
Skin is the largest organ of the human body, serving crucial functions that include protection, sensation, regulation, and synthesis. Structurally, it consists of three main layers: the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis (subcutaneous layer).
1. **Epidermis**: The outermost layer primarily composed of epithelial cells called keratinocytes. It provides a protective barrier against environmental factors, pathogens, and UV radiation.
2. **Dermis**: Located beneath the epidermis, the dermis contains connective tissue, blood vessels, hair follicles, and sweat glands. It plays a vital role in supporting and nourishing the epidermis, regulating body temperature, and housing sensory receptors for touch, pressure, temperature, and pain.
3. **Hypodermis**: Also known as the subcutaneous layer, it consists of fat and connective tissue that anchors the skin to underlying structures like muscles and bones. It provides insulation, cushioning, and energy storage.
Skin performs essential functions such as regulating body temperature through sweat production and blood flow control, synthesizing vitamin D when exposed to sunlight, and serving as a sensory interface with the external environment.
Maintaining skin health is crucial for overall well-being, involving proper hygiene, hydration, protection from sun exposure, and avoiding harmful substances. Skin conditions and diseases range from minor irritations to chronic disorders, emphasizing the importance of regular care and medical attention when needed.
