The outcomes of supervised trainee trabeculectomy compare favourably with consultant cases after 2 year follow up. Trainee cases had higher complication rates than consultant cases. Bleb leaks are a common complication of trainee cases, where closer supervision may be required. There is potential for surgical simulation to help increase the success of such cases. These findings may encourage trainee participation in glaucoma surgery.
The Sturge-Weber syndrome consists of a unilateral port-wine hemangioma of the skin along the trigeminal distribution and is accompanied by an ipsilateral leptomeningeal angioma. Glaucoma is present in approximately half of the cases. The Nevus of Ota is a melanocytic pigmentary disorder, most commonly involving the area innervated by the trigeminal nerve. Elevated intraocular pressure, with or without glaucomatous damage, is observed in 10% of the cases. We report the first case of glaucoma associated with Sturge-Weber syndrome and Nevus of Ota in Korea.
A 1 -A 3 1 8 tion between self-management behaviors and DSME. Results: Adjusted logistic regression revealed that all three self-management behaviors were significantly associated with diabetes education. Respondents who reported not engaging in physical activity were significantly less likely to engage in diabetes education compared to those that engaged in physical activity (aOR = 0.73; 95% CI: 0.66 -0.81). Respondents who reported never checking their feet for sores compared to those that reported checking their feed one or more times per day were significantly less likely to engage in diabetes education (aOR = 0.40; 95% CI: 0.34 -0.47). Respondents who reported checking blood sugar once a week, month or year (aOR = 0.78; 95% CI: 0.69 -0.87), and respondents who reported never checking their blood sugar (aOR = 0.44; 95% CI: 0.36 -0.54) were significantly less likely to engage in diabetes education compared to those that reported checking their blood sugar one or more times per day. ConClusions: Self-management behaviors are strongly associated with diabetes education. Increasing public health interventions aimed at educating diabetics would provide a means for improving outcomes and decreasing costs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
