Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment01:28

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment

560
Angle-closure glaucoma, or closed-angle glaucoma, is an eye condition where the iris bulges out and blocks the iridocorneal angle, resulting in a buildup of aqueous humor and increased intraocular pressure. Immediate medical attention is necessary due to the sudden onset of symptoms. The treatment for angle-closure glaucoma includes short-term and long-term approaches. Short-term treatment involves using eye drops like pilocarpine to lower intraocular pressure by increasing aqueous humor...

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment01:27

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment

477
In open-angle glaucoma, the iridocorneal angle remains open, but the trabecular meshwork becomes stiff, slowing down the outflow of aqueous humor. This causes a buildup of aqueous humor in the anterior chamber, leading to a sudden increase in intraocular pressure. The treatment for open-angle glaucoma focuses on reducing the elevated intraocular pressure by either decreasing the secretion of aqueous humor or increasing its outflow.
Drugs such as carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, α2- and...

Glaucoma: Overview01:25

Glaucoma: Overview

619
Glaucoma is an eye condition characterized by increased intraocular pressure that damages the retina and optic nerve, leading to irreversible blindness if left untreated. The human eye has various components, including the cornea, iris, pupil, lens, and optic nerve. Aqueous humor is secreted by the epithelium of the ciliary body in the posterior chamber and flows through the trabecular meshwork and canal of Schlemm, maintaining normal intraocular pressure. The trabecular meshwork and the canal...

Nephrotic Syndrome II : Assessment and Medical Management

8
IntroductionNephrotic syndrome is a kidney disorder marked by excessive protein loss in the urine, leading to various systemic complications. This condition often results from damage to the glomeruli—the kidney's filtering units—causing proteinuria, low blood protein levels, and fluid retention. Understanding the assessment, diagnosis, and management of nephrotic syndrome is essential for effective treatment and prevention of further kidney damage.AssessmentPatient History: Document...

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Allergy and Immunology

Background:

  • Vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) is a chronic, bilateral inflammatory ocular disease.
  • It predominantly affects children and young adults, presenting with symptoms like itching, photophobia, and mucous discharge.
  • Corneal involvement, including shield ulcers, can lead to significant visual impairment.

Conclusions:

  • Current diagnostic methods for VKC are predominantly clinical.
  • A multi-faceted treatment approach is necessary for effective VKC management.
  • Long-term steroid use requires careful monitoring due to potential sight-threatening complications.
