She denied too many symptoms and comorbidities. No eye trauma and previous eye surgery. \u0000Discussion: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, immune-mediated and demyelinating disease of the central nervous system that mainly affects young female adults. About 85% of individuals with MS start the clinical picture in the form of a relapse, and less can open the picture with progressive neurological deficits, although occasional relapses occur during the course of the disease. Eye changes are frequent in MS and are often the first clinical manifestation. \u0000Results: MS is a rare comorbidity and there are no exact and concrete epidemiological studies so far. Studies about eye alterations are also scarce in Latin American countries. \u0000Ocular involvement may be the first sign of MS. Although MS is an uncommon cause of cranial nerve palsies, its frequency increases in young individuals, with a predominance of abducens nerve palsy, as occurred with the patient in the present report, emphasizing the importance of knowing the profile of this disease. \u0000Conclusion: Ocular findings in MS include optic neuritis, retinitis, peripheral vasculitis, ocular motility abnormalities that can manifest as diplopia or nystagmus, and these manifestations should be recognized by ophthalmologists.","PeriodicalId":287685,"journal":{"name":"Ophthalmology Research: An International Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129869321","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The key parameters explored include (bI, V, Q', K, K',Q,P) and their influence on the time profiles of photosensitizer (riboflavin, C), radicals (R), singlet oxygen(S), oxygen (X) and efficacy (E), parameters of (K,K',Q) define the relative strength of type-I and type-II process. The oxygen depletion profile, X(t), and the associated singlet oxygen, S(t), depend on the parameters of V, Q' and the initial value of oxygen. The coupling strength given by (bI) governs almost all profiles, where b is an effective absorption parameter and I is the UV light intensity. \u0000Results: Our numerical method for CXL dynamic profiles demonstrated the following important features: (i) Type-I and type-II co exit in CXL, in the presence of oxygen. However, there is no type-II when oxygen is depleted or in a condition without oxygen. (ii) Type-I with bimolecular termination, the radical R(t) is a function of [K'(bIgC)]0.5, leading to the steady-state efficacy given by a scaling law of 1/(bI)0.5, in contract to that of type-II which is almost independent to the light intensity. (iii) The depletion rate (2 to 5 minutes) of X(t) is much faster than that of C(t) (10 to 20 minutes), (iv) The pure type-II profile, has a transition point from straight line to saturating curve and matches the depletion point of singlet oxygen S(t). (v) Improved CXL efficacy of type-I and type-II may be achieved by external supply of photoinitiator (riboflavin) and oxygen, respectively.","PeriodicalId":287685,"journal":{"name":"Ophthalmology Research: An International Journal","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124528687","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is a preventable disease and responds to treatments appropriately if diagnosed at early stages, but in case of delayed diagnosis and treatment, it may lead to blindness. The aim of the present study is to describe the incidence, severity, and risk factors of ROP in a tertiary healthcare center. \u0000Material and Methods: This was a prospective, observational, nonrandomized study conducted in a tertiary-level neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of a teaching hospital in Gujarat. A total of 130 preterm neonates admitted in the NICU during the study period were screened for ROP as per the guidelines of NNF of India. Screening was done under topical anesthesia, and findings were documented according to the International Classification for Retinopathy of Prematurity recommendations. The data were analyzed for gestational age, birth weight, and systemic factors predisposing to ROP. \u0000Results: Of the 130 neonates, 37 neonates were found to have ROP, with the incidence of ROP being 28.4%. The mean birth weight (1388 ± 312 g) and the mean gestational age (32.21 ± 2.50 wk) Out of the 37 neonates with ROP, 14 had a gestational age of > 32 weeks and/or birth weight of > 1500 g. ROP was classified into type 1 and type 2 as per the ETROP study, 14 (39.39%) neonates had type 1 or treatable ROP; there were no cases of APROP in our study; ROP regressed without any intervention in 13 neonates; 7 neonates were defaulters; and 11 neonates were treated with laser. \u0000Conclusion: ROP is strongly associated with smaller, more immature, and sicker neonates. However, in our study, about 40% of neonates who developed ROP were of higher gestation (> 32 wk) and birth weight (> 1500 g). The analysis of risk factors for ROP development will help to understand and predict it in severe preterm infants.","PeriodicalId":287685,"journal":{"name":"Ophthalmology Research: An International Journal","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126489730","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
