This case highlights the importance of early diagnosis and prompt treatment of giant cell arteritis in order to prevent the blinding complications like ophthalmic artery occlusion[ijmr.org.in]
Glaucoma
Classic glaucoma treatment focuses on intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction. Better knowledge of the pathogenesis of the disease has opened up new therapeutical approaches. Whereas most of these new avenues of treatment are still in the experimental phase, others, such as magnesium, gingko, salt and[…][ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis
We present three patients with a clinical course and cerebrospinal fluid findings consistent with a diagnosis of primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS). Extensive and repeated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations showed only diffuse abnormality in brain and spinal cord, but no focal lesions. We propose[…][ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Carotid Embolism
We herein present a case of an internal carotid artery embolism associated with a hidden internal carotid artery aneurysm. The aneurysm was visualized during successful endovascular treatment of the carotid embolism. In retrospect, the aneurysm was at risk of rupture during the procedure. In the endovascular[…][ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Carotid Artery Occlusion
Carotid angioplasty with stenting (CAS) is becoming accepted as an effective and reliable treatment option for severe carotid artery stenosis. However, it is rarely applied for carotid occlusion, especially in its chronic stage. We report our experience of CAS for chronic internal carotid artery occlusion[…][ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Abstract Purpose or review To conduct a concise review of primary research articles over the preceding year on the subject of the consequences of waiting for cataract surgery. Recent findings Waiting for cataract surgery beyond 6 months may result in increasing vision loss, decrease in quality life, loss of[…][oadoi.org]
