Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...Oleg Kshivets
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

1. Welcome to latest issue of the Haag-Streit UK ‘InFocus’ newsletter
NEWSLETTER - Issue 8
InFocus
Look closer.
See further.
In addition, HS-UK has been appointed
UK Distributor status for the portfolio
of ‘Trusted Brands’, which includes;
FEATHER ophthalmic scalpels, blades
and holders, MedOne vitreoretinal
cannulae, Tecfen corneal trephine blades
and tissue punches, HEINE primary
diagnostic instruments, Lacrivera
punctal inclusion systems, SPIGGLE &
THEIS lid implants, InstruSafe custom
surgical trays, MORCHER implants,
ACROfine single-use instruments and
KERARING corneal ring segments. (Why
not check out further information about
the free KERARING on-demand webinar
on page 3).
I would like to reassure everyone that
there is no planned change concerning
continuity of the supply of products
into the UK market, or to its Worldwide
network of Distributors. The operational
and staffing structure remains the
same, post-integration, so Distributors,
customers and suppliers can continue to
deal with the same point of contact(s).
Any existing service contracts, originally
purchased from John Weiss & Son,
will now be fulfilled by the HS-UK
Service Division (for the full duration
of the contract). All future contracts, or
renewals, will automatically be provided
by the HS-UK Service Division.
I see this reorganisation as extremely
positive, with the formation of 2
ophthalmic divisions, Diagnostic and
Surgical. This will give HS-UK the
opportunity to provide a ‘one-stop-shop’
to ophthalmic professionals, enabling us
to build on the John Weiss legacy, and its
excellent reputation within the surgical
industry.
Firstly, I would like to take this opportunity
to wish you a very happy new year. It’s
been an extremely busy period for Haag-
Streit UK (HS-UK). We recently underwent
a planned re-organisation, which resulted
in sister-company John Weiss & Son’s
integration within the business on the 1st
January 2022.
After 230 years, naturally, John Weiss will
remain an established product brand.
Thus, HS-UK is now the Sole UK Distributor
of the John Weiss range of gold-standard
ophthalmic micro-surgical instruments
and procedures & implants. We will
continue to provide the full portfolio, which
consists of over 2,500 individual products,
both domestically,and to over 40 countries
Worldwide. (You can find out more about
the John Weiss range on page 5).
HS-UK has also been appointed as the
sole UK Distributor for the; Haag-Streit
Surgical microscope range, the Haag-Streit
Simulation medical simulator portfolio,
Meridian 810 shortpulse laser and the
Nova Eye iTrack (See page 2 for more
information on this exciting canaloplasty
microcatheter).
Since our last ‘InFocus’ newsletter, we
have seen a new COVID-19 variant,
Omicron. At HS-UK, the health and
safety of our customers and employees
is our top priority, and we will continue
to adhere to our own COVID-19 Risk
Assessments to ensure that we can
safely operate and supply at this time.
All staff (remote and on-site workers)
continue to perform a rapid lateral
flow test twice-weekly. I am pleased
to confirm that the majority of our
workforce has been ‘double-jabbed’
and have taken full advantage of the
UK Government’s booster program. We
will continue to monitor the spread of
COVID-19 and the introduction of any
new variants, so we are able to react
swiftly to this dynamically changing
situation at any time.
In other news, since the last issue
of the ‘InFocus’ newsletter, HS-UK
has seen 2 new product launches;
the Meridian MR Q Combo and the
Optovue iScan80 OCT. (You can find
out more about these exciting new
products on pages 4 and 7).
I do hope you find this latest issue
of ‘InFocus’ both interesting and
informative. I hope that 2022 proves
to be prosperous, and all your
endeavours are successful.

2. allows visualisation of the device’s
location at all times. It’s very easy
to push a normal device into the
suprachoroidal space; by contrast,
you can follow iTrack™’s illuminated
tip and direct it accordingly.
The catheter is relatively long,
so if you encounter a blockage
within Schlemm’s canal close to
the intubation site, you simply
circumnavigate in the opposite
direction – you’ll still get 360° of
treatment. Furthermore, the iTrack™
permits control of viscoelastic
infusion.
In a canal with many structures,
you can infuse more viscoelastic
to achieve better dilation; similarly,
if you encounter an adhesion, you
can bypass it by infusing additional
viscoelastic to expand the canal
sufficient for catheter advancement.
No other device permits procedure
parameters to be modulated in this
fashion.
If you are considering ABiC as a MIGS
procedure, you should consider
iTrack™.
Haag-Streit UK is the Sole UK
Distributor for the Nova Eye iTrack™.

Ab-interno canaloplasty (ABiC)
is gaining popularity as a MIGS
procedure with Glaucoma Surgeons
across Europe and the United States
as it can be used in phakic and
pseudophakic patient cases, or as
an adjunct to cataract extraction. It is
also not limited to mild-to-moderate
disease and can be performed in
patients with severe glaucoma.
Traditional canaloplasty can take up
toanhourtoperform.Itrequireslarge
conjunctival and scleral dissections,
creation of a Descematic window
and scleral lake, and placement of
a tensioning suture. The extensive
dissections also violate conjunctiva.
ABiC is less traumatic to the eye
and preserves the conjunctiva by
avoiding stent implantation or tissue
ablation and therefore does not
preclude performance of any further
glaucoma procedures, should they
be needed.
No tensioning suture is required to
maintain the IOP reduction. It’s a
relatively comfortable procedure
with little to no post-operative
discomfort. Another advantage of
ABiC over canaloplasty is that ABiC
can be performed more easily in
patients in whom trabeculectomies
and tube shunts have failed.
ABiC offers a comprehensive
approach to MIGS by accessing,
catheterising, and viscodilating all
aspects of outflow resistance; the
trabecular meshwork, Schlemm’s
canal, and the distal outflow
system, beginning with the collector
channels. The procedure is also rapid
– perhaps less than five minutes –
and requires virtually no recovery
time. Furthermore, many patients
are able to reduce their medication
burden after ABiC.
Introduced in 2008 and with more
than 150,000 procedures performed
globally, iTrack™ is the world’s first
canaloplasty microcatheter. It is also
the only canaloplasty device that
enables surgeons to customise the
amount of viscodilation for each
patient.
Despite measuring just 250
microns, the iTrack™ comprises an
infusion pathway for the delivery of
ophthalmic viscosurgical device or
OVD, a proprietary guidewire that
controls how the microcatheter
tracks, and a fibre optic for
illuminating the distal tip. It also
delivers +100 microlitres of OVD
over the entire 360º of Schlemm’s
canal, via a process of pressurised
viscodilation.
The iTrack™ catheter’s coating
allows it to glide easily through the
drainage canal. The fibre optic tip

3. We recently co-hosted a very
successful webinar entitled
‘Remodelling the Cornea & Managing
Disease with KERARING Segments’
with our ‘Trusted Brands’ partner,
Mediphacos.
Mediphacos’ KERARING intrastromal
corneal ring segments are the most
complete and versatile corneal
remodelling system in the World.
These precision implantable devices
are used to correct corneal surface
irregularities and reduce refractive
errors associated with keratoconus
and other corneal ectatic disorders.
The ‘Remodelling the Cornea &
Managing Disease with KERARING
Segments’ webinar discussed a wide
range of topics, including; ‘Surgical
Technique’, ‘Patient Selection
Criteria’ and ‘The Surgeon’s Aim &
Goals When Using KERARING’.
Other key areas covered by the
webinar included; ‘How to Build
Implantation into Keratoconus
Treatment Protocols for the Greatest
Effect’, ‘Using the Nomogram for
Surgical Planning’ and ‘Customisation
Using Both the Standard and the AS
Progressive KERARING Range’.
The webinar was hosted by Mr
Mathew Raynor, Consultant
Ophthalmic Surgeon at Sheffield
Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation
Trust. Mathew is a very experienced
user of KERARING intrastromal
corneal ring segments and presented
some interesting case studies and
success stories.
The main theme of Mathew’s
presentation was surgical planning,
with a particular focus on using the
Alfonso classification system to
determine the cone type and the
corresponding ring type required to
maximise keratoconus correction.
Grahame Wood, National Sales
Manager, said, “We were delighted
with the success of the KERARING
webinar. The Q & A section at the
end sparked some lively debate,
along with some very interesting
questions. I’d like to extend a big
thank you to Mathew Raynor and,
of course, all those who attended,
we look forward to hosting similar
webinars in the future.”
A free on-demand video of the
webinar is now available to watch on

HS-UK is pleased to announce the
launch of the MR Q Combo in the UK.
The MR Q Combo is a specially
designed slit lamp, offering the option
to safely combine the MR Q YAG
1064nm laser with either a Merilas
532a, Merilas 532nm or a Merilas
577nm shortpulse laser. The latter
of the two configurations deliver
microsecond pulses for subthreshold
retinal treatments.
A versatile laser system, the MR Q
Combo has been designed to save
space and maximise treatment
possibilities.

The increasing global prevalence of myopia
Lenstar Myopia; tackling the global epidemic
World-wide cases of myopia have
increased dramatically in recent years,
with research estimating that on
average 30% of the world is currently
myopic and by 2050, almost 50% will
be myopic, equating to almost 5 billion
people*.
Myopia is the leading cause of
moderate to severe vision impairment
and a major cause of blindness. The
costs and public health implications
of the condition are huge and could
have a staggering impact on eye care
services around the globe.
Recent studies* show that the
prevalence is higher in East Asia, but
in the future even nations which have
little myopia today, will be severely
affected. Research also suggests
that reducing the rates of myopia
progression by 50% could reduce the
prevalence of high myopia by up to
90%*.
Good future planning of eye care
service and delivery is therefore
imperative to combat the rise in
this condition. It is increasing and
developing exponentially in children,
adolescents and young adults, making
early diagnosis vital.

the-art myopia management system,
