The Outcomes of Posterior-Chamber Phakic Intraocular Lens Implantation in Patients with High Myopia

Abstract

Myopia is the most common ocular disorder worldwide. 1 Its prevalence has increased from 25% to 44% between 1972 and 2004 in the United States. 2,3 In developed regions of Asia, prevalence is over 80%,but it is seen much less in underdeveloped countries such as Nepal. 4 The mean cost of myopia

Escherichia coli and Food Safety

“…E. coli is an important pathogen as it is an indicator of fecal contamination in foods and drinking water. Due to this characteristic, it is considered as an indicator bacterium in food safety and hygiene [1][2][3].…”

“…It has serious morbidity and mortality rates worldwide. The mortality rates in neonatal meningitis cases are reported to vary between 15-40% and 50% of the survivors are reported to continue their lives with neurological damage [2,4]. Intestinal pathogenic E. coli are classified as shown in Figure 1 at least six subgroups/pathotypes as enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC), enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC), enteroaggregative E. coli (EAEC), diffusely-adherent E. coli (DAEC), enteroinvasive E. coli (EIEC) and enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC).…”

“…Being a cause of mortality in children under 5, the most frequently observed microorganism in childhood diarrhea is ETEC and it is also responsible for 30-60% of travelers' diarrhea. Infection is characterized by watery diarrhea and, depending on the person, its course may range from a normal course to cholera-like defecation with the addition of symptoms such as vomiting and high fever [2,4,7]. Diarrhea is the most common causes of mortality in society and among young children, especially those living in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa with inadequate healthcare systems and limited access to clean drinking water.…”

“…TTP, on the other hand, is clinically similar to HUS and fever, abdominal pain, gastrointestinal hemorrhage and central nervous system disorders are listed among complications that may develop. Frequently, it forms blood clots in the brain and result in mortality [2,[15][16][17][18][19][20].…”

Long-term results of a new posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens in patients with high myopia: 5-year results

“…Although a limited number of previous studies have reported the refractive predictability and safety of the Eyecryl PC pIOL, the mean follow-up in the longest series was 3 years. [9][10][11][12][13][14][15] The goal of the study was to assess the long-term efficacy and safety of Eyecryl posterior chamber spherical pIOL implantation in individuals with high myopia.…”
