open-globe injuries in palestinePalestine: epidemiology and factors associate...Riyad Banayot
Background: The purpose was to describe the epidemiology of open-globe injury (OGI) in Palestine and identify
the prognostic factors associated with profound visual loss.
Materia l and methods: The current study is a retrospective review of hospital files for 83 consecutive patients
with OGI who presented to St. John Eye Hospital, Jerusalem, within 5 years, between 2009 and 2013. Demographic
details included age, gender, wound characteristics, and visual acuity (VA). The Ocular Trauma Classification Group
was used for wound location, classification, and scoring for each case.
Results: We identified 83 OGI that presented to St. John eye hospital. The study group included 62 males and
21 females. The mean age was 16.66 years ± 3.216. The most frequent injuries were playground injuries (59%),
followed by workplace injuries (26.5%). Penetrating injuries represented 45.8% of injuries, and rupture globes
occurred in 39.8% of cases. The most frequent objects causing injury were metal (31.3%) and stone (20.5%). Kinetic
impact projectiles were a statistically significant poor prognostic factor for the visual outcome. Variables that
were statistically significant poor prognostic factors for visual outcome included: retinal detachment, macular scar,
vitreous hemorrhage.
Conclusi on: This study showed that the act of demonstration, street injuries, kinetic impact projectiles, zone III
injuries, globe disruption, retinal detachment, vitreous hemorrhage, and a poor VA at the first visit are poor prognostic
factors for OGI. Recognition of these prognostic factors will help the ophthalmologist evaluate the injury
and its prognosis.
Clinical and dermographics profile of glaucoma patients in Hebron - Palestin...Riyad Banayot
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: The purpose of the study was to describe the clinical profile of glaucoma types, treatment modalities, visual outcomes, and intraocular pressure (IOP) control for patients in Palestine.MATERIAL AND METHODS: Data collection was done through the hospital record review, which included basic demographics including file number, age, sex, family history of glaucoma, history of anti-glaucoma and steroid medication, history of ocular trauma or surgery, etiology of secondary glaucoma and history of systemic illness. All the patients had a comprehensive eye examination, including visual acuity, intraocular pressure, vertical cup-disc ratio, and gonioscopy. Data were obtained, tabulated, and organized using Microsoft Excel, and statistical analyses were done using Wizard Version 1.9.49 by Evan Miller.RESULTS: There were 100 females with a mean age of 53 and 101 males with a mean age of 67. Primary open-angle glaucoma and its variants represented 45.3% of all patients, while secondary glaucoma represented 40.3% and primary angle closure glaucoma represented 10.4%. The prevalence of glaucoma increased with age, and the last visual acuity (VA) showed that 39.2% of eyes had Normal/near normal VA. The highest average IOP of 25 mm Hg was recorded among secondary glaucoma patients. Of all glaucoma eyes studied, 64% were on one or two medications, and the most common surgical procedures performed were peripheral iridectomy 18.2% followed by trabeculectomy 15.5%. CONCLUSION: Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) was the predominant glaucoma. Glaucoma increased significantly with advancing age. Pseudoexfoliation and neovascular glaucoma comprised the majority of secondary glaucoma.
:Extraocular foreign bodies (EOFBs) are a common presentation to the emergency
department (ED). Given that inadequate management can result in severe complications including visual
impairment, ED clinicians may be overly cautious and often schedule patient reviews in the ED even
where it is unnecessary, placing a burden on hospital resources.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Editor's Notes
Little evidence for the effectiveness of vision rehab interventions
Evidence even more scarce regarding interventions for patients with PVL from causes like glaucoma and retinal dystrophy
This is needed, as studies by Owsley and others have suggested that around 20% of those seen in low vision clinics have PVL as primary complaint or a component of their vision loss
A single recent RCT showed that available LVADs improved ability to perform activities like reading -- but not activities requiring peripheral vision
Likely two reasons that this RCT failed to show improvement for activities requiring peripheral vision
Most existing LVADs aim to improve central vision
Most existing outcome measures are not relevant to PVL
