Benefits of Eye Gels on Tear Film Thickness

Dear Dr. Renukaprasad A R, Can the greater viscosity of lubricants contribute to the longer ocular residence time? Dry eye disease (DED) is a pervasive ocular surface disorder that is characterized by tear film instability and hyperosmolarity. The most popular therapies for DED are lubricants that promote or retain tears. However, regular instillation of lubricants due to their brief residence time on the ocular surface is necessary. As a result, ocular lubricants in gel form are preferred. Here is an Infographic that illustrates the influence of three different formulations of lubricants in gel form: trehalose 3% + hyaluronic acid 0.15%; hyaluronic acid 0.2%; and polyethylene glycol 0.4% + propylene glycol 0.3% on the tear film thickness. Highlights: Etiology and pathophysiology of DED  DED treatment techniques and therapy-related issues  The impact of various lubricants on the thickness of the tear film Continue Reading Docplexus: One of the world's largest online communities of Doctors Pune - 411045, India info@docplexus.co.in�� |� +91 98500 36954 You are receiving this communication because you are registered member of Docplexus.

An enhanced CT scan showed a total of 4 nodules in both lungs, varying in size from 3 to 11 mm Community of Doctors A 10-year-old girl presented with painless masses in the bilateral neck that slowly increased in size over one year. An ultrasound was performed, which revealed an enlarged thyroid gland with multiple cystic nodules in both lobes. An enhanced CT scan showed a total of 4 nodules in both lungs, varying in size from 3 to 11 mm, with marked enhancement in the arterial phase and regression in the delayed phase. Pathological examination showed lung tissue and well-differentiated thyroid follicular tissue without cellular atypia. Immunohistochemistry staining showed positivity for thyroid transcription factor-1 and paired box gene 8, as well as partial positivity for thyroglobulin, cytokeratin 7, and cytokeratin 19, confirming the diagnosis of the patient.
