MEDICO-LEGAL ASPECTS OF THE USE OF GLAUCOMA MEDICATIONS IN PREGNANCY
No full textThe Author, in the present research and in the population-based study of 40 eyes affected by various types of glaucoma, examined the correlation with possible iatrogenic side effects as well as the forensic aspects related to a possible progression of glaucoma, which does represent a crucial issue in social medicine as a result of the incidence of visual impairment in adulthood, wherever more specific drugs but with potentially adverse health effects cannot be used during pregnancy due to the magnitude and the variety of their pharmacological side effects.
In fact, even in the case of a topical therapy with a very low anti-glaucomatous dosage, such as timolol 0.1% gel, a significant amount of its volume up to 80% results in systemic absorption, with all the associated iatrogenic effects, particularly dangerous during the first weeks of pregnancy.
Furthermore, it is also important to consider the particular fetal physiology, which may determine a greater persistence in the circulation

Midriasi monolaterale ad eziologia apparentemente ignota: "Presentazione e descrizione di 2 casi"
No full textOBIETTIVO
Sottolineare l’importanza delle alterazioni pupillari poiché attraverso la loro osservazione è possibile sospettare la presenza di eventuali lesioni strutturali (centrali o periferiche), di intossicazioni da sostanze stupefacenti (cocaina) o la semplice somministrazione di farmaci (reattività pupillare farmaco-indotta).
MATERIALE E MOTODI
Presentazione di due casi in cui una midriasi unilaterale apparentemente inspiegabile risulterà poi esser dipesa non già da un farmaco comunemente usato nella pratica oculistica bensì da uno usato come broncodilatatore nella cura delle bronchiti e delle riniti secretive.
CONCLUSIONI
L’anamnesi si configura come momento essenziale per qualsiasi tipo di diagnosi, inoltre ogni specialista dovrebbe avere un’approfondita conoscenza della farmacologia in modo da prevedere e/o prevenire eventuali effetti indesiderati causati dalle terapie prescritte
GIANT CELL ARTERITIS. THE IMPORTANCE OF IMMEDIATE AND APPROPRIATE DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT FOR BETTER PROGNOSIS. CASE REPORT
No full textThe article describes the case of a 68 old patient suffering from Horton's temporal arteritis, who came to our attention with a large and sudden visual loss due to occlusion of major retinal arteries, without other symptoms.
The next day, for thorough examination, the patient went to Day Hospital with a further worsening of the visual loss which required immediate admission to the ophthalmological ward that lasted 10 days.
During the observation period it was difficult to achieve an instant diagnosis due to the absence of clinical signs or diagnostic tests for Horton’s arteritis.
Only after the third day of hospitalization when a corticosteroid therapy was undertaken following the appearance of significant systemic symptoms, did the patient began to show a gradual improvement in overall clinical status.
The case highlights the difficulty in making a rapid diagnosis of Horton's disease and the efficacy of early steroid therapy in this vascular autoimmune disease that otherwise may result in irreversible functional and debilitating systemic damag
Trattamento a lungo termine con estratto di Cingko Biloba nel paziente affetto da glaucoma cronico semplice: studio randomizzato prospettico

No full textEarly screening, diagnosis, and treatment of age-related eye diseases are emerging challenges for public health professionals. New techniques of evaluation and management are currently being used. The scanning laser ophthalmoscope is used for microperimetry and determination of preferred retinal locus in order to treat absolute central scotomas. Biofeedback in low vision patients using the Improved Biofeedback Integrated System has given promising results in the rehabilitation of patients. Optical aids include optical magnifiers, magnifying eyeglasses, telescopes, monoculars, Galilean, Keplerian, and electronic systems.
Public health professionals must increase public awareness about age-related eye diseases and ensure medical management and supportive care for patients.
At present the leading causes of low vision and blindness in the elderly popula tion are cataract, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and degenerative myopia. The specific causes of visual impairment vary greatly by race/ethnicity and geographical location
