Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS)Meironi Waimir
Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) is a group of procedures that minimizes the invasive rate of glaucoma with five characteristics: ab interno microincision, minimal trauma, more effective, high safety profile, and quick recovery.
MIGS is a surgery that uses an incision in a clear cornea and is indicated in patients with mild to moderate open angle glaucoma.
The technique of MIGS is based on several mechanisms, namely trabecular meshwork bypass stents including iStent, trabectome, and Hydrus microstent; Suprachoroidal implant using Cypass microstent; And subconjungtiva filtration using XEN gel stent.
MIGS technology has potential advantages in glaucoma management by reducing the burden of treatment, improving patients quality of life, and cutting or delaying more invasive surgeries.

Current Trends in Refractive Surgery - Lecture given at Harvard by Emil Chynn...parkavenuelasek
Dr. Chynn graduated from Harvard's ophthalmology program, which is probably the most famous in the world.
As the only member of his graduating class to specialize in Refractive Surgery, and now an recognized authority, Dr. Chynn is frequently invited back to Harvard to give updates on the State of the Art in Refractive Surgery.
This slide show presentation was given to 100 eye surgeons who flew in from across the country to learn the latest advances in glaucoma, retina, cataract surgery--and laser vision correction (from Dr. Chynn).
The title of his talk reflects the movement in the US and worldwide from leading surgeons that is called "Back to the Surface." This means that surgeons are moving away from LASIK and IntraLase, to avoid flap complications and the # 1 problem causing lawsuits (iatrogenic keratoconus, or KC), and back to the surface.
For some doctors, this means going back to the original procedure, PRK, which has a lot of pain, delayed healing, and scarring.
For Dr. Chynn, this means performing an Advanced Surface Ablation, which is either a LASEK or epiLASEK. These are more advanced than PRK because they do not hurt, healing and recovery is quick, and there is no haze or scarring.
For example, Dr. Chynn performs over 1,000 LASEKs and epiLASEKs per year--he performed his last PRK in 1999.
Obviously, he moved away from PRK to LASIK, then to IntraLase, and now back to the safer LASEK and epiLASEK procedures.
View the following slide show to find out more, and call us with your questions--better yet, come in and meet with our MDs!
PRK is the procedure done with the excimer laser to reshape the cornea and correct the vision. It has fewer complications as compared to LASER. Unlike LASER, the PRK procedure does not require the formation of a corneal flap thereby reducing the complications related to corneal flap. PRK was the first procedure for correcting the curvature of cornea which was approved by US FDA
Refractive eye surgeries have become enormously popular worldwide.
Although numerous types of surgical and laser refractive procedures are available today, a procedure known as laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) to correct nearsightedness is currently the most common type.

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.

NVBDCP.pptx Nation vector borne disease control programSapna Thakur
NVBDCP was launched in 2003-2004 . Vector-Borne Disease: Disease that results from an infection transmitted to humans and other animals by blood-feeding arthropods, such as mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas. Examples of vector-borne diseases include Dengue fever, West Nile Virus, Lyme disease, and malaria.
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS
6. First: Why doctors return to PRK again ?
Easy technique
No flap related complications
Less ectasia
Less cost
7. Second: Is LASIK a hazardous technique ?
Hazardous in the following conditions
1. Long-term safety
2. Flap related complications
3. Suction high pressure effect on posterior
segment
8. Third: What are the benefits of PRK over LASIK?
More safe → No flap → No damaging effect in
corneal architecture → Maintained corneal
stability → Less ectasia
Less thinning → More residual bed
Can be done for suspicious corneas
No effect on posterior segment
No dry eye
10. However, after answering the
previous questions
The last question is:
• Why great evolution had occurred from PRK
to LASIK in the beginning of excimer laser
corneal refractive surgeries
11. PRK is not a completely safe technique, it has
its own problems.
12. Problems of PRK
1. Haze:
• Early: Due to early removal of therapeutic
contact lens (bad healing)
• Late: Subepithelial fibroblasts proliferation:
• UVA exposure
• High correction
21. Advanced Surface Ablation
1. LASEK, in which the epithelium is
removed with alcohol
2. Epi-LASIK, in which the epithelium is
mechanically lifted without adjunctive
agents.
In both procedures, laser photoablation is
performed just above the Bowman layer
22. Advantages
1. Done in high myopes (–6.00 to –10.00 D).
2. Avoids all the flap-related complications
seen in LASIK, including incomplete flaps,
free caps, buttonhole flaps, flap striae,
dislocated flaps, flap melts, epithelial
ingrowth, and DLK.
3. Safety in posterior segment.
24. How to avoid haze in advanced
ablation ?
1. Preoperative :
Ask thoroughly about healing of wounds in
body as general ( over healing e.g: skin
Keloids).
25. How to avoid haze in advanced
ablation ?
2. Intraoperative :
- Mitomycin C application (0.02%).
- Washing the bed with cold BSS every
3 Ds to lessen the thermal effect of laser
ablation
26. How to avoid haze in advanced
ablation ?
3. Postoperative :
- Avoid early removal of contact lens
before complete epithelial healing.(early
onset haze)
- Long term topical steroids therapy .(late
onset haze)
- Avoid sunrays exposure.( Late onset haze)
27.
28. PRK is a good alternative to LASIK as
regard safety and corneal stability,
however it carries some problems
especially haze and epithelial healing
problems.
LASIK is better in straight forward
cases especially with ultrathin flaps.
