This study was performed to evaluate the outcomes of accelerated corneal cross-linking in keratoconic corneas with thinnest pachymetry values of <400 µm.

The study included 28 eyes of 24 patients. The uncorrected and best-corrected visual acuities (logMAR), flattest and steepest keratometric readings, central corneal thickness at the…[Read more]

Five out of seven human studies reported elevated levels of MMP-9 in patients with anastomotic leakage on different postoperative moments. The animal studies demonstrated that MMP-9 activity was highest in the direct vicinity of an anastomosis. Moreover, MMP-9 activity was significantly reduced in areas further proximally and distally from the…[Read more]
