ABSTRACT

Background: To assess intraocular pressure (IOP) changes and complications after XEN45 implants in medically controlled eyes (MCE) vs. medically uncontrolled eyes (MUE). Methods: A retrospective study, in a tertiary referral hospital, on mild-to-moderate primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) cases under topical medication, including 32 eyes with IOP < 21 mmHg (MCE group) and 30 eyes with IOP ≥ 21 mmHg (MUE group). The success criteria using Kaplan-Meier analysis was IOP < 21 mmHg without medications (complete success) or fewer drugs than preoperatively (qualified success) at the last visit, without new surgery or unresolved hypotony. Results: No significant preoperative differences were found between the groups. The mean IOP was 15.6 ± 3.8 mmHg in MCE and 15.1 ± 4.1 mmHg in the MUE group (p > 0.05; Mann-Whitney test) at the end of the follow-up (mean of 26.1 ± 15.6 months and 28.3 ± 15.3 months, respectively) (p = 0.414, Mann-Whitney Test). The device caused a significant IOP reduction at 24 h in both groups. Thereafter, the MCE group significantly tended to increase IOP, recovering baseline values at 1 month and maintaining them until the end of the follow-up. In contrast, in the MUE group, the IOP values tended to be similar after the first reduction. No relevant complications and no significant differences between the groups in the survival analysis were found. Conclusions: XEN45 provided stable IOP control in both the MCE and MUE group without important complications in the medium term. The IOP increasing in the MCE group, after a prior decrease, led to restored baseline values 1 month after surgery. The homeostatic mechanism that causes the rise in the IOP to baseline values and its relationship with failure cases remains to be clarified.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: Las series de televisión pueden actuar como una de las principales fuentes de información sobre las adicciones. Sin embargo, la investigación sobre la representación fiel de la adicción en cuanto a su realidad clínica y social es todavía escasa, principalmente porque requiere un enfoque interdisciplinar de mayor complejidad. Metodología: este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar la representación narrativa de la adicción a las drogas a través de dos estudios de caso de las series de televisión: Euphoria (Levinson et al., 2017-2021) y Skins (Elsley et al., 2013-2017). Además, pretende identificar qué estereotipos siguen predominando en la pantalla. Resultados: Los resultados muestran que las series de televisión actuales intentan optar por mejores representaciones. Discusión y conclusiones: a pesar de la complejidad de los imaginarios sobre las drogas en estas series, todavía se produce una perpetuación de ideas y representaciones erróneas debido a una tensión entre mostrar valores realistas y educativos (edutainment) o bien optar por un drama audiovisual y narrativo apasionante. Finalmente, cabe señalar que la serie de televisión critica cómo la responsabilidad de la recuperación recae en la persona y no en el sistema. (AU)


Introduction: Television series can act as one of the primary sources of information on addiction. However, research on the accurate representation of addiction concerning its clinical and social reality is still lacking, mainly because it requires an interdisciplinary approach with higher complexity. Methods_ this article aims to analyze the narrative depiction of drug addiction through two TV series case studies_ Euphoria (Levinson et al., 2017-2021) and Skins (Elsley et al., 2013-2017). Moreover, it intends to identify which stereotypes are still predominant on-screen. Results_ current TV series try to opt for better representations. Discussion_ the perpetuation of misconceptions and misrepresentations is still due to a tension between showing realistic, educational values (edutainment) and opting for a gripping audio-visual and narrative drama. Finally, the TV series criticizes how the responsibility for the recovery is placed on the persona rather than the system. (AU)
