Acute bacterial conjunctivitis – benefits versus risks with antibiotic treatment

“…Concerning the internal opening detection, out of 30 patients studied, the internal opening was seen in 29 patients and missed in 1 patient, which was evident during subsequent surgery, this may be attributed to the various anatomical or functional conditions such as small or narrow opening or it may be intermittently closed at the time of MRI examination. Similar findings were seen in a previous study done by Yildirim et al (30) , three internal openings were missed in their study which was performed on 26 patients. The detection rate of the internal opening in this study was 96% on fat suppressed post contrast T1 and 90% on T2 fat suppressed sequence, These findings were comparable to that of Singh et al (31) , 46 internal openings were accurately detected out of 48 Cases (detection rate of 96% on fat suppressed enhanced T1), our results were also close to that of Mohamed et al (26) where the detection rates in were 100% and 91% on T1 enhanced fat suppression and T2 fat suppression sequences respectively, however our detection rate and was slightly lower than the results of Khan et al (27) where the detection rates was 100% on T1 post contrast sequences.…”

“…The outcome of our study was in agreement with the general trend toward the use of IMN fixation method for Subtrochanteric fracture. In addition, the overall results of IMN were better than Blade plate fixation as showed by Parker et al (30) . Limitation of this study were in small sample size, not double blind so there are surgeon biases, no special type of classification used in our study so we are not compare specific type of subtrochanteric fractures and the surgical experience of the surgeon affect the outcome.…”

“…The present data on C-reactive protein shows significant reduction in treated animal with extract at both does 30 mg/Kg/day and 100 mg/Kg/day compared with untreated group table 3. The reduction of CRP has been observed in treated animals with cherry extract also this been linked to atherosclerosis and heart disease (30) . In atherosclerosis, or cholesterol plaguing of the arteries, is known to have an inflammatory component that is thought to cause a change in CRP levels in the blood, and this is depending on genetics as well as lifestyle habits (19) .…”

Stix test for bacterial conjunctivitis

“…The guest editorial (Wickström 2008) and review article (Høvding 2008) appearing in Acta Ophthalmologica this year discussed the practical problems concerning treatment/delayed treatment/no treatment at all of acute bacterial conjunctivitis well.…”
