ABSTRACT
Implantable collamer lens(ICL)and toric ICL(TICL)are clinically common types of posterior chamber phakic intraocular lenses, they are mainly used to correct high myopia and low-to-moderate myopia of eyes whose corneal conditions are not suitable for corneal laser surgery. Accurate preoperative measurement, safe intraoperative implantation and appropriate postoperative location of lenses are critical to ensure the outcome of ICL implantable, and the appearance of V4c ICL with a central hole ensures the safety of this surgery to a greater extent. However, the intraocular position of both ICL and TICL is not invariable. Some studies have shown that the vault has a trend of decreasing year by year after ICL surgery, but its reason is unknown. And spontaneous rotation may occur after the TICL surgery, thereby causing visual loss, which is one of the main causes of TICL replacement. And postoperative changes in the position of the central hole also need attention. In addition, the visual quality of the operated eye will change after ICL/TICL implantation, but whether the change of intraocular positions of implanted lenses will affect the postoperative visual quality is also a problem that needs to be paid attention to and explored. Therefore, this paper reviewed the postoperative changes in vault, TICL axis, position of the central hole and their causes, as well as the effects of these changes on postoperative visual quality, offering valuable clinical guidance for accurate preoperative selection of ICL/TICL and surgical design, so as to improve the effectiveness and stability of ICL implantation in correction of myopic refractive error.
ABSTRACT
Objectives@#. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a risk factor for deep neck infection (DNI) and leads to complications and poor outcomes. Our study aimed to investigate the risk, prognosis, and complications of peritonsillar abscess (PTA) in patients with T2DM. @*Methods@#. We extracted data of patients newly diagnosed as having T2DM between January 2000 and December 2011 from Taiwan’s National Health Insurance Research Database. These patients were matched with patients without T2DM, and PTA incidence was compared between both cohorts. @*Results@#. In total, 67,852 patients with and 135,704 patients without T2DM were enrolled. PTA incidence was significantly higher in patients with T2DM (incidence rate ratio, 1.91; P5 years after T2DM diagnosis. Cox regression analysis showed that patients with T2DM had an approximately 2-fold higher PTA risk (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR]: 1.89, P<0.001). Patients with a higher adapted Diabetes Complications Severity Index (aDCSI) had higher PTA risk than those with a lower aDCSI (aHRs: 2.17 for aDCSI ≥1, P=0.006 and 1.81 for aDCSI=0, P=0.002). T2DM patients with a high aDCSI (≥1) had a nonsignificantly longer hospitalization duration and a higher rate of DNI complications than did those with a low aDCSI (=0). @*Conclusion@#. In patients with T2DM, PTA incidence was relatively high, and it increased with T2DM severity. Moreover, T2DM patients should be particularly careful about PTA within 1 to 5 years after the diagnosis, and physicians should keep in mind that the prognosis of PTA was correlated with T2DM severity.
