Sicurezza ed Efficacia dell’inserto Ologen™ nella chirurgia del glaucoma: risultati preliminari di uno studio prospettico di fase II

Archeologia, quale lavoro dopo l’università? Un’analisi multidisciplinare del rapporto tra ricerca, formazione, professione e opportunità imprenditoriali

Nel corso degli ultimi venti anni, la ricerca scientifica si è caratterizzata per un approccio multidisciplinare, capace di ripensare le discipline di base, nella convinzione che la contaminazione possa gene- rare nuova conoscenza. In un siffatto con- testo, gli studiosi di archeologia più volte hanno messo in discussione il ruolo della propria disciplina nella società contemporanea, interrogandosi sulle possibili interazioni e sulle sinergie con scienze diverse e apparentemente ‘lontane’. Questa sfida pone non poche problematiche riguardo agli investimenti in capitale umano che sono necessari per far coesistere e sviluppare saperi diversi in modo integrato. Il riferimento è alla definizion…

One-Year Outcomes with New-Generation Multifocal Intraocular Lenses

Purpose: To compare new-generation multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) with monofocal IOLs. Design: Randomized prospective clinical trial. Participants: Sixty-two consecutive patients with cataract, seen between January of 2005 and January of 2006 at the Department of Ophthalmology of Palermo University Hospital in Italy, were bilaterally implanted with monofocal (AR 40, Advanced Medical Optics [AMO], Santa Ana, CA; 15 patients), multifocal refractive (Array SA40N, AMO; 16 patients), multifocal refractive (ReZoom, AMO; 15 patients), or multifocal diffractive pupil-independent (Tecnis ZM900, AMO; 16 patients) IOLs. Intervention: Bimanual phacoemulsification. Main Outcome Measures: Primary o…

A five-year retrospective study of the epidemiological characteristics and visual outcomes of patients hospitalized for ocular trauma in a Mediterranean area

Abstract Background To determine the epidemiological characteristics and visual outcome of ocular trauma in southern Italy. Methods All cases of ocular trauma admitted to Department of Ophthalmology of Palermo University, Italy, from January 2001–December 2005 were retrospectively reviewed for open- or closed-globe injury (OGI or CGI). Data extracted included age, sex, residence, initial and final visual acuity (VA), cause and treatment of injury, hospitalization. The injuries were classified by Ocular Trauma Classification System (OTCS) and Birmingham Eye Trauma Terminology (BETT). We also referred to the Ocular Trauma Score (OTS) in evaluating the final visual outcome. Results Of the 298 …

Day care cataract surgery in Central and Southern Italy: a multicentric survey

Abstract Background Cataract day surgery has rapidly gained worldwide acceptance, because the new surgical techniques and costs are generally lower than those involved in ordinary hospitalization. Cataract surgery serves as a proxy indicator of the trend towards day surgery hospitalization in Italy and, therefore, of regional variability in health-care delivery and cost. The aim of this study was to update the diffusion of cataract day surgery through various surgical ophthalmological centers in central and southern Italy during 2005. Methods A two-stage stratified cluster sampling method was used to draw a sample of Cataract Surgery Unit from Ophthalmic Units of central and southern Italy.…
