META-ANALYSIS OF MOLTENO GLAUCOMA IMPLANTS AND AHMED GLAUCOMA VALVES: INSIGHTS INTO EFFICACY AND SAFETY FOR COMPLEX GLAUCOMA

Meta-analysis of Molteno glaucoma implants and Ahmed glaucoma valves: insights into efficacy and safety for complex glaucoma

BackgroundGlaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness globally and for decades, Molteno and Ahmed glaucoma implants, operating on different mechanisms, have been used to treat complicated glaucoma with varying success.ObjectiveTo assess the safety and efficacy of the Molteno glaucoma implant (MGI) versus the Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) in

Anesthetic management and the role of TEE in the entrapment of a paradoxical embolus by a patent foramen ovale

Abstract Background A paradoxical embolism arises when a venous thrombus passes through a cardiac right to left shunt and enters the arterial circulation.This can manifest as cardiovascular ischemia, cerebrovascular insults, increased right ventricular pressure, and/or volume overload leading to signs and symptoms of heart failure.While rare, parad

A comprehensive study of parallel gap resistance welding joint between Ag foil and front electrode of GaAs solar cell

When space solar cell array is subjected to harsh temperature cycle, such as planet orbit, thermal fatigue cracks in bonding area are easily induced.With the aim of improving bonding quality and elucidating failure mechanism of parallel gap resistance welding (PGRW) joints in temperature cycling environment, the present research investigates the ef
