This document provides information about glaucoma including its definition, epidemiology, classification, anatomy of the anterior chamber, physiology of the anterior chamber, measurement of intraocular pressure, optic disc examination, visual field testing, and the diagnosis of glaucoma. Glaucoma is a condition associated with elevated intraocular pressure that can cause damage to the optic nerve and vision loss. It is a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide.
Glaucoma is a chronic progressive optic neuropathy caused by an imbalance between the rate of aqueous humor formation and drainage, leading to damage of the optic nerve and loss of vision. It is defined as an intraocular pressure of over 21 mmHg. The aqueous humor is produced by the ciliary epithelium and normally drained through two routes - the conventional trabecular route which drains around 90% and the uveoscleral pathway which drains around 10%. Glaucoma is diagnosed by tonometry and treated through lifelong drug therapy, laser treatment, or surgery to lower intraocular pressure and prevent further vision loss.
Primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) is the most common type of glaucoma. It is characterized by an open anterior chamber angle, increased intraocular pressure (IOP), and glaucomatous optic nerve damage and visual field loss. Elevated IOP is the primary risk factor. Treatment involves medical therapy to lower IOP through various drug classes, laser trabeculoplasty to increase outflow, and surgeries like trabeculectomy or newer minimally invasive procedures if medication is insufficient. The goal is to lower IOP enough to prevent further optic nerve damage and vision loss.
This document summarizes different types of glaucoma and their pharmacotherapy. It discusses the types of glaucoma which include primary open angle glaucoma, normal tension glaucoma, ocular hypertension, primary angle closure glaucoma, and secondary glaucoma. It also outlines the risk factors, diagnostic tests, and mechanisms of different classes of antiglaucoma agents which include cholinergic agents, adrenergic agonists, beta blockers, prostaglandin analogs, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, and more.

Glaucoma refers to a group of eye disorders characterized by optic nerve damage and vision loss. It is classified as primary or secondary. Primary open-angle glaucoma is the most common type. Elevated intraocular pressure damages the optic nerve, though pressure can be elevated without damage. Risk factors include age, family history, race, and central corneal thickness. Treatment aims to lower pressure and prevent further vision loss through medications, laser treatments, or surgery. Medications work by reducing fluid production or increasing outflow, and include prostaglandins, beta-blockers, alpha-agonists, and carbonic anhydrase inhibitors. Long-term monitoring is needed to evaluate treatment effectiveness.
This document provides an overview of glaucoma, including risk factors, types, and treatment options. It discusses several key points:
- Glaucoma is the leading cause of blindness worldwide and causes permanent vision loss due to damage to retinal ganglion cells.
- Elevated intraocular pressure is a major risk factor, and treatment aims to lower pressure to preserve vision.
- Studies have shown patients whose pressure was consistently below 18 mmHg had little progression, while those over 18 mmHg at more visits faced greater risk of vision loss.
- Diurnal fluctuations in pressure are also correlated with visual field loss, so controlling pressure throughout the day is important.
Anesthesia for ophthalmic surgery requires maintaining a still eye, low intraocular pressure, and preventing complications related to drug interactions and expansion of intraocular gases. The anesthesiologist must consider the surgical procedure, patient factors like age and comorbidities, and choose the appropriate anesthetic technique between general, regional, or local anesthesia. Close monitoring of vital signs and the airway is important due to positioning constraints during eye surgery.
This document discusses total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) using target-controlled infusion (TCI) in elderly patients. It notes that pharmacokinetics change with age, so TIVA in elderly requires starting at low drug concentrations and avoiding large changes in plasma levels. TIVA may reduce postoperative delirium and cognitive dysfunction in elderly versus inhalational anesthesia. However, very low anesthetic depth as indicated by triple low values of BIS <45, MAP <75 mmHg and MAC <0.8 is associated with increased mortality and length of stay. When using TIVA in elderly patients, it is important to titrate doses carefully and avoid excessively deep levels of anesthesia.
Glaucoma types, Pathogenesis, Diagnosis and TreatmentPranatiChavan
Glaucomas are ocular disorders characterized by changes in the optic nerve head (optic disk) and by loss of visual sensitivity and field.
There are two major types of glaucoma: open-angle glaucoma, which accounts for most cases and closed-angle glaucoma.
Primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) involves blockage of the drainage angle between the iris and cornea, increasing intraocular pressure. It has acute, subacute, and chronic stages depending on symptoms and pressure changes. Treatment involves lowering pressure through medications, laser iridotomy to open the angle, or surgery if needed. A red eye from PACG presents with severe vision loss, pain, mid-dilated pupil, and high pressure, distinguishing it from conjunctivitis, uveitis, or other causes.

Cardiac reflexes involve afferent and efferent nerve pathways between the heart and central nervous system that help regulate cardiac function and homeostasis. Key reflexes discussed include the baroreceptor reflex, which helps maintain blood pressure, and the Bezold-Jarisch reflex, which causes hypotension, bradycardia, and coronary artery dilation in response to ventricular stimuli. Preventing or treating reflex cardiovascular changes during surgery may involve atropine, local anesthesia, lignocaine infusion, or adjusting anesthesia depth.

The document discusses reflexes and the reflex arc. It defines a reflex arc as the anatomical nervous pathway of a reflex, which consists of 5 components: a receptor, sensory neuron, integration center in the spinal cord, motor neuron, and effector organ. It describes different types of reflexes like stretch reflexes, superficial reflexes, deep tendon reflexes, and visceral reflexes. It also covers topics like reflex properties, classifications of reflexes, and clinical considerations regarding reflex testing.
This document discusses cardiovascular reflexes that regulate heart rate and blood vessel function. It describes the three main components of cardiovascular reflexes - afferent nerves, the central nervous system, and efferent nerves. It then discusses various reflexes in more detail, including the baroreceptor reflex, cardiac baroreflex, chemoreceptor reflex, and others. The baroreceptor reflex, detected by stretch receptors in blood vessels, acts as an important negative feedback loop to maintain blood pressure homeostasis.
This document discusses different ways to classify reflexes based on their anatomical features, number of synapses involved, physiological characteristics, and whether they are innate or conditioned. The main types of classifications covered are: anatomical (segmental, intersegmental, suprasegmental), number of synapses (monosynaptic, bisynaptic, polysynaptic), physiological (flexor, extensor), and conditional/unconditional (unconditioned, conditioned). Specific examples are provided to illustrate each classification category.
This document discusses a case of globe perforation that occurred during a peribulbar block for cataract surgery. It then provides details on the objectives, anatomy, techniques, sites, and complications of peribulbar anesthesia. Globe perforation is a rare but serious complication, more likely with longer eyes and blunt needles. Even if recognized immediately, the visual prognosis is usually poor following such an injury. Subtenon's block is presented as an alternative with a lower risk of perforation.
This document discusses various techniques for providing anesthesia during ocular surgery, including retrobulbar, peribulbar, and sub-Tenon's blocks. Retrobulbar blocks involve injecting local anesthetic directly into the muscle cone behind the eyeball to block the oculomotor nerves. Peribulbar blocks inject anesthetic in the space surrounding the eye muscles. Sub-Tenon's blocks make a small incision in Tenon's capsule to inject anesthetic beneath it. Each technique has advantages and disadvantages in terms of onset/duration of anesthesia, risk of complications, and ability to achieve akinesia.
The optic nerve (CN2) is the nerve of sight. It has four segments - intraocular, intraorbital, intracanalicular, and intracranial. In the optic chiasm, nerve fibers from the medial half of each retina cross to the opposite side. From the chiasm, the optic tracts extend posteriorly to terminate in the lateral geniculate bodies of the thalamus, forming connections to the primary visual cortex via the optic radiations.
Complications of anaesthesia in opthalmic surgeryDevdutta Nayak
Local and regional anesthesia techniques are commonly used for ophthalmic surgery. Potential complications include retrobulbar hemorrhage, globe perforation, optic nerve injury, brainstem anesthesia from intravascular injection, and the oculo-cardiac reflex. Careful patient assessment, proper needle selection, knowledge of orbital anatomy, and gentle technique can help minimize risks. Regional techniques like peribulbar and sub-Tenon's blocks provide good akinesia while avoiding potential dangers of retrobulbar injection.
The whole cardiovascular physiology caters to blood flow through the organs, and blood pressure is just one of the factors favouring tissue blood flow (perfusion).
The document discusses liver function tests (LFTs) and their use in evaluating liver diseases. It provides details on 3 key LFTs:
1. Bilirubin tests which are used to diagnose prehepatic (hemolytic), hepatic, and obstructive jaundice. Elevated conjugated bilirubin indicates obstructive jaundice while elevated unconjugated bilirubin indicates hepatic or hemolytic jaundice.
2. Liver enzymes like ALT, AST, ALP, and GGT which provide information on liver health and injury. Elevated ALT and AST indicate liver parenchymal damage while elevated ALP and GGT can indicate obstructive jaundice.

- Common causes of cataracts like age, diabetes, trauma, and genetics.
- Guidelines for when to refer a cataract case for surgery based on the stage of development.
- Details of the cataract surgery procedure and important aspects of pre- and post-operative care to monitor patients and manage complications.
A cataract is a clouding of the lens in the eye that leads to decreased vision. It is the leading cause of blindness worldwide and the most common eye surgery performed, with over 1 million cataract operations annually in the United States. Cataracts usually form due to aging but can be acquired due to diseases like diabetes, injuries, or medications. Surgical removal of the clouded lens and replacement with an artificial lens is currently the only effective treatment for restoring vision impaired by cataracts.
This document provides information on eye disorders, specifically cataracts and glaucoma. It defines cataracts as a lens opacity and discusses causes, types, symptoms, and treatment including medication and surgery. For glaucoma, it describes the condition as optic nerve damage related to intraocular pressure, lists types, discusses evaluation and treatment with medication, laser procedures, and nursing care post-surgery. The document aims to educate on these common age-related eye conditions.

Retinal detachment occurs when the retina separates from the back of the eye. It is a medical emergency that can cause permanent vision loss if not repaired. The retina is made up of layers and receives images that the brain interprets as vision. Retinal detachment can be rhegmatogenous, tractional, or exudative and risks include nearsightedness, eye surgery or injury. Diagnosis involves eye exams and ultrasound. Treatment may involve laser, cryotherapy, scleral buckle surgery, pneumatic retinopexy or vitrectomy to seal retinal breaks and reattach the retina. Nursing care focuses on medication administration, activity safety, and education on signs of recurrence and postoperative care.
Retinal detachment occurs when the neurosensory retina separates from the underlying pigment epithelium, cutting it off from its blood supply and causing vision loss. It is usually caused by tears in the retina from posterior vitreous detachment. Symptoms include floaters, flashes of light, and blurred or lost vision. Diagnosis is made through examination with an ophthalmoscope. Treatment involves sealing retinal tears with laser or cryotherapy and reattaching the retina surgically using scleral buckling or vitrectomy. Patients require positioning and eye drops post-operatively to prevent further detachment.
Although optometrists do not perform laser vision correction here in the United States, they can still provide a valuable role in this procedure that is gaining unprecedented popularity.

Extracapsular cataract surgery involves removing the clouded lens and surrounding capsule from the eye. The most common method is phacoemulsification, which uses ultrasound to break up the lens for removal through a small incision. After removal of the cataract, an intraocular lens implant is typically placed. Surgery is usually quick and has a high success rate in improving vision, but risks include infection, swelling, bleeding or complications that may require further treatment.
The document provides an introduction to refractive surgery, describing different types of refractive errors and methods used to correct them. It discusses procedures like LASIK, PRK, and lens implants. LASIK involves creating a corneal flap then sculpting the cornea with an excimer laser. PRK removes the outer corneal layer then applies the laser. Lens implants are for higher refractive errors or when other methods don't work. The risks, recovery times, and potential outcomes are outlined for each procedure.
This document discusses various eye procedures and conditions. It provides instructions for angiography, which involves injecting dye to image retinal circulation. It also covers tonometry to measure intraocular pressure, ophthalmoscopy to examine the eye's interior structures, and cataract surgery including postoperative care. Additional sections address glaucoma and its treatment, retinal detachment treatment and symptoms, and ear conditions like otitis media and Meniere's disease. Common eye drops are also defined.
Cataract surgery involves removing the clouded lens and replacing it with an artificial lens implant. It is usually an outpatient procedure that takes less than an hour using local anesthesia. Most patients have improved vision after surgery and can resume normal activities within a few days. Complications are rare but may include increased eye pressure or retinal detachment. Regular post-op exams are needed to monitor healing and vision.

Acute Rise in IOP (Dr. Rasha, senior resident of ophthalmology)Hind Safwat
There are several potential causes of acute increases in intraocular pressure (IOP), including glaucomatocyclitic crisis (Posner-Schlossman syndrome), inflammatory open-angle glaucoma, retrobulbar hemorrhage or inflammation, traumatic glaucoma, pigmentary glaucoma, neovascular glaucoma, plateau iris syndrome, and malignant glaucoma. IOP increases above 40mmHg can rapidly damage the optic nerve and cause permanent vision loss within hours. Treatment depends on the underlying cause but generally involves topical medications to lower IOP such as beta-blockers, alpha-2 agonists, and carbonic anhydrase inhibitors as well as systemic therapies like oral acetazol
Posterior segment complications of refractive surgeryHind Safwat
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.
This document discusses hypothyroidism and myxedema coma. It begins with an introduction defining hypothyroidism and its causes. Myxedema coma is described as a metabolic crisis characterized by uncorrected hypothyroidism and precipitating stressors causing mental status changes, hypothermia, and other symptoms. Diagnosis involves clinical evaluation and lab tests. Treatment involves supportive care and thyroid hormone replacement, with myxedema coma being a medical emergency. Special populations like pregnant and elderly patients require careful management.

This document discusses anaphylaxis, a serious allergic reaction that is rapid in onset and can potentially cause death. It defines anaphylaxis and outlines its epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical features, and treatment. The main points covered are:
- Anaphylaxis is a type 1 hypersensitivity reaction involving mast cell degranulation and release of mediators like histamine.
- Common triggers include foods, insect stings, drugs, latex, exercise, and idiopathic cases.
- Symptoms affect multiple organ systems like the skin, respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract and cardiovascular system.
- First line treatment is epinephrine injection and IV fluids. Second line includes
This document discusses transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) and cervical artery dissection. It defines a TIA as a temporary episode of neurological dysfunction caused by focal brain or eye ischemia without infarction. It lasts less than 2 hours and is a warning sign of future stroke risk. Cervical artery dissection involves tearing of the inner lining of arteries in the neck, most commonly caused by neck trauma or connective tissue disorders. It can lead to strokes, with headaches and neck pain as early symptoms. Management involves diagnosing the condition with imaging tests like MRI/MRA and treating risk factors to prevent further ischemic events.
This document discusses safety measures for healthcare providers to prevent injuries and infections from needle sticks and exposure to blood and bodily fluids. It outlines the risks of various injuries and infections like hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV. Universal safety precautions are recommended, including personal protective equipment like gloves, gowns, and eyewear. Vaccination against hepatitis B is the most important precaution. Proper handling and disposal of needles and reporting any exposures are also essential to prevent the transmission of bloodborne pathogens between healthcare workers and patients.
This document discusses diarrhea, its causes, pathogenesis, clinical features, diagnosis, evaluation of dehydration, and treatment. Diarrhea is a common cause of death in developing countries and infant mortality worldwide. It is defined as passing watery stools at least 3 times in 24 hours. Common causes are viral (rotavirus, adenovirus), bacterial (Shigella, Salmonella, E. coli), and parasitic infections. Clinical features may include bloody stools or abdominal pain. Diagnosis involves assessing stool frequency and dehydration level. Treatment focuses on oral rehydration with zinc-fortified ORS or IV fluids for severe cases. Prevention emphasizes good hygiene, vaccines, and addressing factors like global warming that

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).
