Deep sclerectomy versus punch trabeculectomy: effect of low-dosage mitomycin C.

2004

<i>Purpose:</i> To compare IOP behavior after deep sclerectomy (DS) and trabeculectomy with the Crozafon-De Laage Punch (TP), using low-dosage intraoperative mitomycin C (MMC) in both techniques. <i>Methods:</i> The study was a prospective randomized clinical trial. All patients met inclusion and exclusion criteria, and were scheduled for glaucoma surgery. Forty patients were randomized to undergo either a nonpenetrating DS with MMC (DSMMC) (19 eyes) or a TP with MMC (TPMMC) (21 eyes). Postoperative examinations were performed at the 1st day, the 1st, 2nd and 3rd weeks and the 1st, 3rd, 6th, 9th and 12th months. Postoperative complications, number of antiglaucoma med…

OP0090 THE OCCURRENCE OF SUBCLINICAL AND CLINICAL ATHEROSCLEROSIS IN RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS, RESULTS FROM THE 3-YEAR, MULTICENTER, PROSPECTIVE, OBSERVA…

2019

Background The systemic inflammatory process and the “traditional” cardiovascular (CV) risk factors could synergize the enhancement of CV burden in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) [1]. Objectives To assess the occurrence and the predictive factors of subclinical and clinical atherosclerosis in patients with RA. Methods During 2015, consecutive patients, admitted to Italian Rheumatology Units, were assessed in GIRRCS (Gruppo Italiano di Ricerca in Reumatologia Clinica e Sperimentale) cohort [2]. After that, patients were followed-up in a 3-year, prospective, observational study, assessing the occurrence of subclinical (carotid and/or peripheral arteries atherosclerotic lesions detected by ultrasou…

Managing Adult-onset Still's disease: The effectiveness of high-dosage of corticosteroids as first-line treatment in inducing the clinical remission.…

2019

Abstract To assess the effectiveness of the treatment with high dosage of corticosteroids (CCSs), as first-line therapy, in inducing remission in naïve Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) patients compared with low dosage of CCSs, after 6 months. To further evaluate the rate of patients maintaining the remission and the rate of CCSs discontinuation, after additional 12 months of follow-up. A retrospective evaluation of patients prospectively followed was designed to compare the rate of clinical remission in naïve AOSD patients treated with high dosages of CCSs (0.8–1 mg/kg/day of prednisone-equivalent) or low dosage of CCSs (0.2–0.3 mg/kg/day of prednisone-equivalent), after 6 months. An add…
