Öğe Comparison of the results of primary and secondary implantation of flexible open-loop anterior chamber intraocular lens(Royal Coll Ophthalmologists, 1998) Bayramlar, H; Hepsen, IF; Cekic, O; Gunduz, APurpose To assess and compare the results of primary and secondary implantation of flexible open-loop anterior chamber intraocular lenses (AC-IOLs). Methods A series of 57 eyes of 56 patients with flexible AC-IOLs were reviewed in two groups. In group I (n = 35) an AC-IOL was implanted primarily, because of posterior capsule problems during extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE), and in group II (n = 22) secondarily after intracapsular cataract extraction (ICCE). Follow-up was from 12 to 38 months. Results Mean post-operative best-corrected visual acuity in group I was significantly lower (20/37.38) than that of group II (20/29.20) (p = 0.044). Best: corrected visual acuity of 20/40 or better was achieved in 19 of 29 eyes (65%) in group I, and in 16 of 21 eyes (76%) in group II. The difference was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). In group II 18 eyes (86%) maintained or improved visual acuity. In group I, 17 eyes (49%) had a total of 22 complications, while 7 eyes (32%) had 9 complications in group IP (p > 0.05). Conclusions Flexible open-loop AC-IOLs are suitable for both primary and secondary implantation to correct aphakia. Secondary implantation of flexible open-loop AC-IOLs after ICCE seems to have a more favourable visual outcome and a lower complication rate than primary implantation in complicated ECCE cases.Öğe Craniofacial anthropometry in a Turkish population(Alliance Communications Group Division Allen Press, 2002) Evereklioglu, C; Doganay, S; Er, H; Gunduz, A; Tercan, M; Balat, A; Cumurcu, TObjective: To present norms and demonstrate the anthropometric variations in fronto-occipital circumference, inner and outer canthal distances, near and distant [far] anatomical interpupillary distance, canthal index, and circumference-interorbital index across age and sex in urban Turkish subjects. Participants: Three thousand four hundred forty-eight subjects (1852 male, 1596 female) aged 7 to 40 years were included in this study. Methods: Three age groups were studied: children aged 7 to 15 years, young adults aged 16 to 25 years, and adults aged 26 to 40 years. Mean values for each measured parameter were determined at each age between 7 and 25 years. Subjects were also divided into nine age subgroups to observe the change of each parameter with advancing age. Results: The fronto-occipital circumference and outer canthal distance of males was significantly (p < .001) wider than females in all age groups. The near and distant interpupillary distances of male subjects were, on average, wider than the female subjects with greater differences with advancing age. Across all subjects aged 7 to 40 years, the mean of all measured parameters and calculated indexes of men and boys was significantly different from girls and women (p < .001). The mean for interpupillary distances in our study in both sexes were found to be similar to Arabian, Hong Kong, and British children; larger than those of Chinese, Black, Indian, and Caucasians; and smaller than those of Mexican children and a mixed European population. Conclusion: This study clearly shows the anthropometric variation for fronto-occipital circumference, inner canthal distance, outer canthal distance, near and distant interpupillary distance, canthal index, and circumference-interorbital index with age. These developmental data and the normal values of these measurements in healthy subjects are useful for dysmorphologists in the early identification of some craniofacial syndromes, hyper- and hypotelorism, and congenital or posttraumatic telecanthus and of planning surgical intervention. We suggest that the comparison of craniofacial dimensions of a patient must be performed with normal standards specific for age as well as sex and race.Öğe The levels of cytokines and nitric oxide in rabbit vitreous humor after retinal laser photocoagulation(Slack Inc, 2000) Er, H; Doganay, S; Turkoz, Y; Cekmen, M; Daglioglu, MC; Gunduz, A; Evereklioglu, COBJECTIVE: To determine the levels of nitric oxide (NO) and cytokines such as interleukin 1-beta (IL-1 beta), interleukin G (IL-6), interleukin 8 (IL-8), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) on vitreous humor following retinal laser photocoagulation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The rabbits were divided into 3 groups of 4 animals (8 eyes) each. Twelve pigmented rabbit eyes underwent modified grid pattern photocoagulation with a power of 240 mW (group I); 300 mW (group II); and 360 mW (group III). The eyes received 200 burns using a spot size of 200 mu, and duration of 0.2 s. Vitreous humor samples were collected from each eye preoperatively and at 24 and 72 hours after the laser. RESULTS: When compared to preoperative levels, IL-6 levels were increased in all groups; IL-1 beta levels were increased significantly only in group III. IL-8 levels were high in groups II and III only at 72 hours (P <0.05). TNF levels were elevated significantly in group II and III only at 24 hours (P <0.05). NO levels were significantly higher than preoperative values in all groups at all times. CONCLUSION: Our results support that especially IL-6, IL-8, and NO levels increase significantly following laser photocogulation. This preliminary study suggests that IL-6, IL-8, and NO might be dominant contributing factors in the occurrence of the inflammation postoperatively.Öğe Medium term outcomes of strabismus surgery in patients with monocular dense amblyopia(Saudi Med J, 2006) Bayramlar, H; Gunduz, A[Abstract Not Available]
