A recent article of Ophthalmology Europe Times reviews the potential of microplasmin in the treatment of vitreoretinal traction, especially in vitreomaculares adhesions, which may give rise to significant risk for central vision and often require vitreo-retinal surgery for recovery.

The microplasmin is a proteolytic enzyme developed by Trombogenics , and according to clinical studies can facilitate and induce a posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) by enzymatic breakdown of proteins that maintain adhesion between vitreous and retina. Could thus replace, in certain cases, a vitrectomy surgery, and even could have potential applications in the accessions of diabetic macular edema, diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration associated with age.

According to the study conducted by Trombogenics, currently in phase III, the microplasmin is effective to break the adhesions vitreomaculares, improves vision in patients without surgery, can be applied in macular holes, is safe and well tolerated.

pilot study results presented by Professor Peter Stalmans in Congress EURETINA of Paris showing improvement at 6 months of treatment, at least 2 lines in 23.7% of patients treated with microplasmin , and 3 lines at 9.7%.

We recall the editorial of Drs Cervera Diaz-Llopis and in the Journal Archives of the English Society of Ophthalmology in August 2007 titled "posterior vitreous detachment and pharmacological vitreolysis: the new age of vitrectomy enzyme 'esp Arch Ophthalmol Soc V.82 n.8.

In his simple but magnificent exhibition, our colleagues exposed the "universally known and perverse effect of strong vitreo-retinal adhesions": 1) Recurrence of detachment of retina with or without vitreoretinal proliferation. 2) detachment of retina diseases glassy-organized with Stickler syndrome, etc .- 3) Bilateralization of giant tears 4) Persistence and chronicity of macular edema (diabetic, venous occlusion, uveitis, pseudophakic Irvine-Gass syndrome). 5) myopic macular traction syndrome. 6) macular epiretinal membrane 6) Emergence of macular holes and their progression from incomplete to complete. 7) progression of proliferative diabetic retinopathy by vitreous traction of the new vessels. " And then spoke of the "gracious" and "prophylactic effect of having the DPV as soon as possible, and these should have parted ways before a slow, gradual and controlled, but without any risk of lamellar macular hole or complete, or cystoid macular edema.

Even then made reference to various drugs proteoíticos with ability to accelerate vitreous liquefaction, such as dispase, hyaluronidase (VITROS ®) , chondroitinase, tissue plasminogen activator, urokinase, streptokinase, natokinasa (NAT Substilin ®) , collagenase, plasmin and microplasmin (Trombogenic ®) and sentences "If this method gets to develop clinically, ie get off and liquefy the vitreous with a single intravitreal injection can be in a not too distant future to a major paradigm shift from our current conception of vitreous surgery today to have known: the birth of enzymatic vitrectomy .

A new solar hole threatens the land

A spectacular image of the Sun shows changes in crown that can be hazardous to our planet

few months ago, scientists have been warning that the sun has come out of the woodwork and preparing for a phase of intense activity to date has ever known. These movements cause solar explosions that, if they reach the sufficient level of violence, can leave fried our electricity network and disrupt communication systems and satellite navigation. Have already seen some of these eruptions with unusual force, although they have only been a warning. Now, a stunning new image of the sun gathered by NASA spacecraft called Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO, by acronym in English), shows something very reassuring, a hole in the solar corona , zone where the magnetic field opens up and allows solar wind to escape. This hole is spinning toward Earth, possibly causing a geomagnetic storm reached
affect us.

Impressive image of the Sun's magnetic fields

This new image of the Sun was taken on August 20 by an instrument for imaging magnetic helioseismic (HMI) with The probe is equipped SDO. The magnetic field lines are color coded: white show the magnetic fields are closed, ie not released solar-wind and golden lines open fields, those who do leak. For scientists, the understanding of this mechanism is very important, because they believe that solar storms are caused by changes in the structure and connections of these fields.

The coronal holes are large areas less dense and cooler than the surrounding areas. The hole allows a constant flow of high density plasma and will cause an increase in the intensity of solar wind effects on Earth when a hole of this kind of facing our planet.

CIRI: NEW TECHNIQUE FOR TREATMENT OF ASTIGMATISM femtosecond laser

image: alimearza.com

A new technique of femtosecond laser, CIRI or "Conic Intrastromal Relaxing Incisions "different types can correct astigmatism up to now difficult to correct, according to a study released by Dr. Roberto Zaldivar, scientific director of the Instituto Zaldivar (Mendoza - Argentina) at the annual meeting of the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery ..

In his presentation, Dr. Zaldivar refers to the possible application of the technique to different groups of patients with astigmatism not easy to correct, as patients with dry eye, or after cataract or keratoplasty interventions in Needing a procedure to correct residual refractive errors, as a minimally invasive and effective in correcting small amounts of cylinder and sphere.

All refractive procedures available to date show any side effects. Corneal incisions are characterized by low predictability, epithelial growth potential, or hyperopic changes, the PRK surgery may result in "haze" (clouds), regression and discomfort, and the LASIK may occur with irregular edges cut at the interface epithelial growth, and dry eye in older patients. All these changes may affect the quality of the patient's vision. For this reason, and because most of the complications of refractive surgery can take place on the corneal surface, it is now to develop safe and effective intrastromal procedures, as described by Dr. Zaldivar.

The new advanced technique creates intracorneal incisions without damaging the epithelium, and shows great stability in oblique incisions, less and less dry eye denervation and additionally can add new incisions, does not affect the optical zone and may be combined with other intraocular procedures, including the implantation of phakic lenses (ICL) and pseudophakic (IOLs).

While clinical studies to date show the stability and predictability of their results at 6 months, is now developing new applications nomograms and more cases, in order to determine its effectiveness and predictability long term.

PROJECT OFTALMOTECA "

PROJECT OFTALMOTECA. "

Recently we have seen with pain as lost two small collections of old books on ophthalmology and missing many of his fellow.

Unfortunately today's homes are small, the furniture is functional, and families often tend to get rid of what bothers them.

come into our lives new technologies such as "electronic books" that can contain text from as many thousands of books inside, and tattered books, old and hands may seem outdated and dilapidated on our shelves.

From here open the project "OFTALMOTECA" , aimed at rescuing the books, documents and / or elements of ophthalmology of oblivion and neglect, and an inevitable loss.

therefore grateful to our readers who want to contribute selflessly to the project, before disposing of them get in touch with us, send us the address of our center in Ceuta (Spain), or our section emails (coming soon), or alternatively, send us your scanned documents to the address given below.

Also, for those who have known or are family of ophthalmologists and optometrists have already disappeared into believing that its history and work deserve to be picked up and remembered, send us the documentation considered appropriate (portraits, photos, publications, merit, references ...) the same addresses.

is our belief that anyone who has helped give life to our eyes and the development of ophthalmology, no one should be forgotten.

While these new products are opening a new avenue for the treatment of ocular surface, we have no doubt that the update of hydrotherapy advanced ocular Dr. Lourenço may open new avenues and approaches in the treatment of other eye diseases.
