Orbital rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common malignant orbital tumor of child-hood originating from mesenchymal cells. The presenting symptom is usually acute onset unilateral proptosis. The rapidly progressive course of the findings may resemble infectious and inflammatory orbital diseases. Radiological imaging and histopathological examinations are crucial for differential diagnosis. The main goal of treatment with a multidisciplinary approach is to control both local and distant spread of the tumor and to prevent further damage. With the introduction of chemotherapy and radiotherapy in the treatment, the overall survival rate has in-creased. Thus, aggressive surgical approach for complete removal of the tumor has been abandoned. Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical features of pre-pandemic and pandemic patients who had elective cataract surgery in our hospital. Methods: This study is a retrospective study. Cataract surgeries performed in our clinic between March 2019 and June 2021 were screened. Patient’s age, gender, eye laterality, cataract type, preoperatively best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in the eye with a cataract, pseudoexfoliation, and other compelling factors for surgery were noted. Considering that there was no elective cataract surgery in our hospital between March 2020 and June 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, 1-year data before March 2020 and 1-year data after June 2020 were included in the study. Patient data from these two periods were compared with each other. Results: The pre-pandemic and pandemic groups had 560 eyes of 489 patients and 590 eyes of 534 patients, respectively. The patients in the pre-pandemic group were significantly older than those in the pandemic group (69 vs. 67 years, P=0.046). The mean BCVA differs according to the groups (0.163±0.148 vs. 0.130±0.132) (P<0.001). The rate of blindness was significantly higher in the pandemic group than in the pre-pandemic group (39.3% vs. 31.4, P=0.006). There was no difference in the number of brown/mature cataracts between the two periods (P:0.629). Diabetic retinopathy was significantly lower during the pandemic period. The number of traumatic cataracts increased substantially during the pandemic. Conclusion: We encountered cataract patients with lower pre-operative best-corrected visual acuity during the pandemic
目的:本研究的目的是比较大流行前和大流行患者择期白内障手术的临床特点。方法:本研究为回顾性研究。对2019年3月至2021年6月期间在我院进行的白内障手术进行筛查。患者的年龄、性别、眼侧边、白内障类型、白内障眼的术前最佳矫正视力(BCVA)、假性角膜脱落和其他手术需要考虑的因素。考虑到2020年3月至2020年6月因COVID-19大流行,我院未进行选择性白内障手术,本研究纳入2020年3月前1年和2020年6月后1年的数据。这两个时期的患者数据相互比较。结果:流感前组489例患者560眼,流感大流行组534例患者590眼。大流行前组患者明显大于大流行组患者(69岁vs. 67岁,P=0.046)。各组平均BCVA差异(0.163±0.148 vs 0.130±0.132)(P<0.001)。大流行组的失明率明显高于大流行前组(39.3% vs. 31.4, P=0.006)。两期棕色/成熟白内障的数量无显著性差异(P:0.629)。糖尿病视网膜病变在大流行期间显著降低。在大流行期间,外伤性白内障的数量大幅增加。结论:我们在疫情期间遇到了术前最佳矫正视力较低的白内障患者

Purpose: To our knowledge, no study has so far assessed in detail the relationships between subconjunctival hemorrhage (SCH) sites and SCH causes in patients with non-traumatic SCH (NTSCH). Therefore, in this study, we aimed to investigate comprehensively these relationships. Methods: Four-hundred nineteen cases were included. SCH sites were classified as superior (n = 109), nasal (n = 114), temporal (n = 84), and inferior (n = 112) areas. Etiological factors associated with NTSCH were determined as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, coagulation system disorders, conditions causing sudden venous congestion (CCSVC), and idiopathy. Relationships between SCH sites and causes were analyzed. In addition, evaluations were made according to age (≤60 and >60 years). Results: In cases aged ≤60 years, nasal site hemorrhage was more frequent than temporal (35.0% vs. 21.7%, P = 0.016) and inferior (35.0% vs. 15.2%, P < 0.001) site hemorrhages. In individuals aged >60 years, inferior site hemorrhage was more frequent than superior (39.1% vs. 23.8%, P = 0.012), nasal (39.1% vs. 18.8%, P < 0.001), and temporal (39.1% vs. 18.3%, P < 0.001) site hemorrhages. In cases aged ≤60 years, etiological factors were seen with similar frequency in superior, temporal, and inferior site involvements (P > 0.05), while hemorrhage in nasal site was most frequently associated with CCSVC (46.1%, P < 0.01). In individuals aged >60 years, etiological factors were observed with similar frequency in superior, nasal, and temporal site involvements (P > 0.05), while hemorrhage in inferior site was most frequently associated with hypertension (48.1%, P < 0.02). Conclusion: We determined that nasal NTSCH was most frequently associated with CCSVC in cases aged ≤60 years, while inferior NTSCH was most frequently associated with hypertension in individuals aged >60 years.
