Effect of conventional cataract surgery and femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery on bruch’s membrane opening-minimum rim width, retinal nerve fiber layer, and macular thickness
(Hindawi, 2023)
Purpose. To evaluate the effect of conventional cataract surgery (CCS) and femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) on Bruch’s membrane opening-minimum rim width (BMO-MRW), peripapillary ...
Incidence and risk factors for trocar-site incisional hernia detected by clinical and ultrasound examination: a prospective observational study
(Springer Nature, 2020)
Background: Trocar site incisional hernia (TSIH) is the most frequent complication associated with laparoscopic surgery. Few studies currently describe its incidence or risk factors. The aim of this ...

An interventional nationwide surveillance program lowers postoperative infection rates in elective colorectal surgery. A cohort study (2008–2019)
(Elsevier, 2022)
Background: Colorectal surgery is associated with the highest rate of surgical site infection (SSI). This study analyses the effectiveness of an interventional surveillance program on SSI rates after ...
Effect of femtosecond laser-assisted lens surgery on the optic nerve head and the macula
(International Journal of Ophthalmology, 2019-06-18)
Aim: To evaluate the effect of femtosecond laser-assisted lens surgery (FLALS; cataract surgery or refractive lens exchange) on the structure of the optic nerve head and the macula. Methods: This ...
Development of biomimetic NiTi alloy: influence of thermo-chemical treatment on the physical, mechanical and biological behavior
(MDPI, 2016)
A bioactive layer, free of nickel, has been performed for its greater acceptability and reliability in clinical applications for NiTi shape memory alloys. In the first step, a safe barrier against Ni ...

Automatic glaucoma classification using color fundus images based on convolutional neural networks and transfer learning
(Optical Society of America, 2019-02-01)
Glaucoma detection in color fundus images is a challenging task that requires expertise and years of practice. In this study we exploited the application of different Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) ...
The persistent breach between evidence and practice in the prevention of surgical site infection. Qualitative study
(Elsevier, 2020)
Background: Despite the dissemination of guidelines for surgical site infection (SSI) prevention, a gap between the theoretical measures and their compliance persists. Accurate estimates of the ...
Diagnostic accuracy and detection rate of glaucoma screening with optic disk photos, optical coherence tomography images, and telemedicine
(MDPI, 2022)
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of optical coherence tomography (OCT) and retinography in the detection of glaucoma through a telemedicine program. Methods: A ...
