Visual outcomes and complications of scleral-fixated posterior chamber intraocular lenses
No full textTo report the long-term visual outcomes and complications after implantation of scleral-fixated posterior chamber intraocular lenses (PC IOLs). Princess Alexandra Hospital, Mater Hospital, and Queensland Eye Institute, Brisbane, Australia. Case series. This study reviewed the records of patients who had anterior vitrectomy and scleral-fixated PC IOL implantation between 1993 and 2008 and had a minimum follow-up of 6 months. The study comprised 82 eyes of 72 patients (47 men). The mean follow-up was 83.3 months (range 6.7 to 166.5 months) and the mean age at surgery, 62 years (range 15 to 97 years). The mean improvement in corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) was 1.6 Snellen chart lines of vision, which was statistically significant; 59 eyes (72%) had an improved or unchanged CDVA, and 23 eyes (28%) had a reduced CDVA. The most common postoperative complication was ocular hypertension (25 eyes [30.5%]). Suture breakage occurred in 5 eyes (6%) after a mean of 4.9 years; 4 of these patients were younger than 40 years. Overall, 44 eyes (53.7%) had at least 1 complication, 36.4% within 1 week postoperatively and 63.6% after 1 week. Thirteen eyes (15.8%) required at least 1 further operation. Scleral-fixated PC IOL insertion provided favorable visual outcomes in many cases. Complications were common, and suture rupture is an important long-term complication, particularly in young patients. These issues affect IOL choice for the surgical treatment of aphakia and should be discussed with patients during the consent process.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
