The corpus callosum substructure region has extensive damage in chronic pain, and the selective microstructural integrity damage was particularly manifested by changes in axons and myelin sheath in the genu and body of corpus callosum.

Anterior chamber angle (ACA) narrowing continues to occur for at least 2 years after congenital cataract surgery. Risk factors for intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation after congenital cataract surgery were higher central corneal thickness (CCT) and surgery at <2 months. The purpose of this study was to study the changes in IOP and in the ACA during the first 2 years after pediatric cataract surgery and to determine risk factors for such changes. A retrospective observational study was done on infants who underwent pediatric cataract surgery in Cairo University Hospitals and completed a 1-year follow-up. Demographic and clinical characteristics were recorded including age at surgery, sex, corneal diameter, CCT pupil diameter, IOP, gonioscopic findings, presence of persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous, surgical approach, primary intraocular lens implantation, and perioperative subconjunctival steroid injection. Changes in IOP and in the ACA were recorded, and the risk factors for such changes were analyzed. Postoperative IOP elevation >18 mm Hg occurred in 23 eyes of 206 eyes (11%), who completed Year 1 and in 9 (13%) of 86 eyes who completed Year 2. Risk factors for IOP elevation were larger preoperative CCT (P=0.01) in Year 1, and younger age at surgery (P=0.01), and aphakia (P=0.05) in Year 2. In multivariate analysis only younger age at surgery was a risk factor for IOP elevation in Year 2. ACA narrowing occurred in 49% and in 21% of the examined eyes in Years 1 and 2, respectively. Aphakia was not a significant risk factor of angle narrowing in Years 1 and 2 (P=0.17 and 0.42, respectively). Higher preoperative CCT was a risk factor for early-onset IOP elevation. Surgery at >2 months was associated with lower susceptibility to late-onset IOP elevation. 2 months was associated with lower susceptibility to late-onset IOP elevation. With a newly designed blade, slicing of the Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) leaflets helped to convert the flow-restrictive AGV into a non-flow-restrictive device. Flow characteristics by our in-vitro study confirmed the loss of resistance of AGV valve leaflets. To describe a new blade to destroy the valve leaflets of AGV and to report the in-vitro flow characteristics of AGV after valve destruction. All the newly opened AGV implants and the Aurolab aqueous drainage implants (AADI, used as controls) were tested by connecting to a 27-G cannula, open manometer, digital manometer, and automated infusion pump. Data logging was done using a digital manometer at 4 Hz using computerized software. When the AGV's flow characterization reached the steady phase, their valve functionality was destroyed by disrupting the valve leaflets, using a specially designed blade. The flow characteristics after valve slicing were compared with that of AADI. A total of 5 FP7 AGVs and 2 AADIs were tested. After initial resistance tAGVs was similar to AADI after destroying its valve functionality. The use of nylon wicks with fenestrations in nonvalved aqueous shunt surgery significantly reduces intraocular pressure (IOP) and glaucoma medication usage in the immediate postoperative period compared with the use of fenestrations alone. To compare early postoperative IOP and medication usage in patients undergoing implantation of a nonvalved aqueous shunt device with fenestrations only or fenestrations with nylon wicks. A retrospective review of all nonvalved aqueous shunt insertions completed by one surgeon (L.W.H.) was completed using current procedure terminology. Patients undergoing Baerveldt or ClearPath 350 mm2 aqueous shunt insertion with fenestrations only (n=37) or fenestrations with 2 nylon wicks were identified (n=92). All devices were ligated with 7-0 Vicryl (polyglactin) suture, and either 4 fenestrations or 2 fenestrations and two 9-0 nylon wicks were placed anterior to the ligature. Data regarding visual acuity (VA), IOP, number of glaucoma medications, and complications were collectedignificantly lower IOP and medication burden while awaiting the dissolution of the ligature suture. To describe clinical presentation, management, and outcomes of eyes with endophthalmitis related to glaucoma drainage device (GDD) placement. Retrospective chart review of patients diagnosed with GDD-related endophthalmitis at Duke Eye Center from 2009 to 2018. Six eyes of 6 patients had endophthalmitis related to a GDD (2 Ahmed, 4 Baerveldt). The mean time from surgery to presentation was 22.7 months. Five of 6 cases (83%) had culture-proven infectious endophthalmitis. Eyes undergoing GDD explantation (n=2) had better visual acuity at 6 months compared with those without hardware removal (20/11,314 vs. 20/358). Visual acuity at 6 months was hand motion (20/8000) or worse in 3 of 6 cases (50%). GDD-related endophthalmitis often leads to poor visual outcomes. Hardware removal may lead to improved visual outcomes; a multicenter prospective study assessing the benefit of hardware removal may be warranted.

Nailfold capillary abnormalities are associated with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and increased severity of global and central glaucomatous visual field (VF) loss. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether nailfold capillary abnormalities are associated with POAG and the severity of glaucomatous VF loss. A cross-sectional study of 83 POAG cases and 40 controls was conducted. Nailfold capillaroscopy images were assessed by masked graders for dilated capillaries >50 μm, crossed capillaries, tortuous capillaries, hemorrhages, avascular zones >100 μm, capillary density, and capillary distribution. VF loss in glaucoma cases was quantified using mean deviation and mean central pattern standard deviation (PSD) from the worst-affected eye. Logistic regression analyses of cases and controls showed that avascular zones [odds ratio (OR)=1.24; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.06, 1.47; P=0.005], capillary density (OR=0.63; 95% CI 0.46, 0.83; P<0.001), and capillary distribution (OR=7.88; 95% 95% CI 2.
