Abstract:

For beginner surgeons, it is difficult to recognize the posterior capsule during cataract surgery. In the case of brown cataracts with a thin posterior capsule and in cataracts with asteroid hyalosis, it is difficult to identify the capsule before intraocular lens (IOL) implantation even for expert surgeons. Here we illustrate five important signs, which can be practiced in routine cases to make sure the posterior capsule is intact, before IOL implantation.

Mitral Valve Prolapse II: Assessment and Management

IntroductionA range of clinical features characterizes Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP), but it is important to note that many individuals with MVP are asymptomatic and may remain so throughout their lives. For those who do exhibit symptoms, the following are the key clinical features:Palpitations: This is a common symptom where individuals feel an irregular or rapid heartbeat. Palpitations in MVP are often due to arrhythmias such as premature ventricular contractions or supraventricular...
