Combatting Aqueous-Deficient and Evaporative Dry Eye with Lipid Drops

Dear Dr. Renukaprasad A R, Are lipid-containing artificial tears appropriate to treat DED sub-types? The predominant etiologies of DED are ADDE and EDE or a combination of them, with or without other etiological factors for DED. In addition, both ADDE and EDE sub-types affect tear homeostasis and worsen the patient's QoL. Hence, a multi-faceted management approach is needed early to prevent the vicious circle of DED. Lipid-containing eye drops can significantly relieve DED symptoms by improving the lipid layer and its spreading ability. Therefore, they are appropriate for managing lipid-deficient EDE and improving the patient's QoL. Check out this infographic on the proportion of patients categorized into the different cohorts of DED, including ADDE, EDE, and mixed. Key highlights: What is the distinction between ADEE and EDED?

They suggested a test to rule out preeclampsia. Which one do you think it was? A. Liver function test B. Serum creatinine test C. Placental growth factor test D. Platelet count test Click to Answer Impact of High Corticosteroid Dose on Mortality in COVID-19 Patients Low-dose corticosteroids followed by immunosuppression have been shown to significantly reduce mortality risk in COVID-19 patients with hypoxia. Now, researchers from the University of Oxford investigated whether simply increasing the corticosteroid dose, rather than adding other immunomodulators, could confer additional benefits.
