How Big Data Informs Us About the Population Health Status : endophthalmitis after ophthalmologic procedures

2022

The use of Big Data, in the form of almost exhaustive French medico-administrative databases, has made it possible to address several issues without which this would not have been possible. First, to define the incidence of endophthalmitis after ophthalmologic procedures without bias on specific recruitment modalities of respondents (tertiary centers, questionnaires ...). Thus, local observations of a change in prevalence trends of causative procedures were confirmed at the national level. The reliable description of the incidence of endophthalmitis will then make it possible to identify critical situations of recrudescence of cases. The knowledge of the delay of occurrence after the proced…

Epulis-Like Presentation of Gingival Renal Cancer Metastasis

2017

Mouth metastatic cancers are very rare and they usually represent the evidence of a widespread disease. Common primary tumors are lung carcinoma in men and breast carcinoma in women, followed by kidney cancer. In the oral soft tissues, the gingiva is the most common site, suggesting a possible role of inflammation in the attraction of circulating tumor cells. Oral metastasis has a serious prognosis. In this work, we describe the case of a 58-year-old man affected by renal cancer, who was brought to our attention for the appearance of a gingival swelling. Initially, the lesion was excised through a provisional clinical diagnosis of epulis. Subsequently, anatomopathological analysis showed a …

Can ‘Fellow of the European Board of Ophthalmology Subspecialty Diploma in Glaucoma,’ a subspecialty examination on glaucoma induce the qualification…

2016

From 2015, the examination of Fellow of the European Board of Ophthalmology Subspecialty Diploma in Glaucoma (FEBOS-Glaucoma) was launched by the European Board of Ophthalmology (EBO) in cooperation with the European Glaucoma Society (EGS). This opinion aims at disclosing the background of the examination, prerequisite to the examination, and the value of the FEBOS-Glaucoma diploma.

Plasma omega 3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and macular pigment optical density in subjects at high risk for age-related macular degeneration: the Lim…

2016

This is an abstract that was submitted for the 2016 ARVO Annual Meeting, held in Seattle, Wash., May 1-5, 2016.; Purpose: In numerous epidemiological studies, omega 3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) have been associated with a decreased risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Beyond their structural, functional and neuroprotective roles, omega 3 PUFAs may favor the retinal accumulation of lutein and zeaxanthin and thus increase macular pigment optical density (MPOD). We examined the associations of MPOD with plasma omega 3 PUFAs in subjects with at least one parent affected by neovascular AMD. Methods: The Limpia study is a double-blind, placebo controlled, prospective randomize…

Choroidal thickness in glaucoma patients and glaucoma suspects measured by spectral domain coherence optical tomography

2012

Purpose: The aim of our study was to evaluate and compare retro-foveolar choroidal thickness (RFCT) of healthy subjects, individuals with intraocular hypertension, patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), patients with normal tension glaucoma (NTG) and patients with primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) by spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).Methods: Sixty-five healthy eyes, 30 eyes with intraocular hypertension, 90 eyes with POAG, 30 eyes with NTG and 20 eyes with PACG were included in this cross-sectional study. RFCT, foveolar retinal thickness and average retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFL) were measured by SD-OCT (Spectralis HRA-OCT, Heidelberg Engineer…
