Culture-positive endophthalmitis after implantation of intraocular Collamer lens.

29 Sep 2009 We report a case of culture-positive bacterial endophthalmitis following implantation of a Staar intraocular Collamer lens (ICL). The patient presented 4 days after uneventful sutureless surgery with decreased visual acuity, redness, and ... Read more...

Results of auditory brainstem response monitoring of microvascular decompression: a prospective study of 22 patients with hemifacial spasm.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: The nerve function of cranial nerve VIII is at risk during microvascular decompression (MVD) for hemifacial spasm. Intraoperative monitoring of auditory brainstem response (ABR) is a useful tool to decrease the danger of ... Read more...
