A cross-sectional study to compare the regional corneal thickness profiles in various age groups of Saudi population using 7 mm wide optical coherence tomography scans
Authors: Alrashidi Sultan 
Published: March 2024

Measuring age-matched normative corneal thickness (CT) values in the center and peripheral regions can be useful in clinical practice. To determine the influence of age and gender on the central, paracentral and mid-peripheral corneal pachymetry profile in normal eyes using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT); and to estimate the average regional CT profiles across all the age groups. Five ninety-six healthy eyes of 298 subjects aged between 10 and 98 years were evaluated using REVO FC anterior segment SD-OCT with predefined concentric corneal ring-shaped zones. CT was calculated in 17 sectors within a central 7-mm circle. Central zone CT (CCT: 2mm), paracentral (PCT: 2 to 5-mm), and midperipheral (MPCT: 5 to 7-mm) in the superior, superior temporal, temporal, inferior temporal, inferior, inferior nasal, nasal and superior nasal cornea; minimum, maximum, median thickness within the 7-mm diameter area were recorded. The mean CT in corresponding zone was compared between genders and correlations with age were evaluated. The distribution of CCT was 537.9±38µm with no significant difference between right and left eyes, or between males and females CCT. No significant difference noted between male and female participants with respect to age, and no interocular asymmetry in CT was identified either in paracentral or midperipheral zones (17 sectors). The PCT was 1.6% to 5.2% thicker whereas the MPCT sector was 2.3% to 11.4% thicker than the CCT, with the paracentral and midperipheral sectors’ superior and superior nasal zones were the thickest zones in the normal population. The mean paracentral inferior temporal (537.9±38.0) and temporal (538.7±37.2) zones’ CT were similar to mean CCT-2mm (537.7±36.3). CT varied with age in the seven groups of both genders, specifically in the paracentral and mid-peripheral zones. CT decreases, but its dependence on age is weaker. The CT increased gradually from the center to midperipheral ring with the superior and superior nasal regions had the thickest CTs, while the thinnest points are located primarily in the temporal and inferior temporal cornea. With the help of SD-OCT, this is the first study establishes the normative central, paracentral, mid-peripheral, and minimum CT data, which differ significantly from Saudi Arabians in location and magnitude. Based on the results, decisions regarding refractive surgery and corneal diagnosis can be made.

This study aims to recognize the interrelation among total vitamin D levels and diabetic retinopathy in diabetic mellitus particular type 2 variant.That was a cross-sectional look on 276 patients with diabetes mellitus. Cases were grouped similarly into with and without DR.Screening tactics like unique records, best-corrected visual acuity, fundoscopic examination, and blood investigations like fasting blood sugar, post prandial blood sugar, HbA1C vitamin-D were carried out. Diabetic retinopathy is graded the use of ETDRS.The relation of the period of diabetes to the severity of retinopathy showed an advantageous correlation, with a p-value &#60;0.001. It has confirmed an inverse relationship among the severity of diabetic retinopathy and Vitamin D values. Sufferers with mild NPDR and moderate NPDR had Vitamin D insufficiency, which decreased to Vitamin D deficiency stages in severe NPDR and PDR.A relation change is observed among diabetic retinopathy and total Vitamin D levels. Henceforth, it is important to examine the affiliation of Vitamin D with the extent of DR, its use to forecast of the severity of DR, and as a device to restrict or prevent the development of retinopathy modifications.

Corneal alterations are frequent in many endocrine disorders like Grave’s ophthalmopathy and diabetes mellitus. Since early diagnosis of such a change can prevent visual impairment, it presents a challenge to an ophthalmologist.Clinical assessment & significance of corneal alterations in endocrine disorders.1. To conduct comprehensive assessment of corneal alterations in endocrine disorders. 2. To Identify specific corneal abnormalities in patients with endocrine disorders. 3. To delineate the clinical significance of corneal alterations in endocrine disorders by determining their impact on visual function and guiding therapeutic strategies.This study was a prospective, observational, hospital-based study conducted over a period of two years including 150 patients of different endocrine disorders. Ocular examination included physical examination to check for any pain on ocular movements, ophthalmoplegia, diplopia, or proptosis. Visual acuity was examined by Snellen’s chart, anterior segment by slit-lamp, intra-ocular pressure by non-contact tonometer, qualitative measurement of corneal sensation by a cotton-wisp and central corneal thickness was measured by pachymetry. Corneal endothelial cell parameters like endothelial cell density (ECD), coefficient of variation of cell area (CV), percentage of hexagonal cell (HEX) were measured by clinical specular microscope.The age range was 14 to 82 years with mean age being 48.43±14.2 years. The male to female ratio was 1.34:1. Type-2 diabetes mellitus was the most frequently encountered endocrine disorder (64.7%), followed by hypothyroidism (13.3%). Addison’s disease was the least encountered (0.7%). The most severe changes to the cornea, such as chronic epithelial abnormalities, superficial punctate keratopathy, altered corneal sensations, and dry eyes, were observed in patients with type 2 diabetes, followed by Graves’s ophthalmopathy and hypothyroidism. Patients with T2DM and T1DM had elevated CCT values, reduced endothelial cell density, abnormally high coefficient of variance and low hexagonal cells.The present study showed that different corneal alterations can be possible in endocrine disorders. So all endocrine disorders should undergo comprehensive ophthalmological examination to prevent visual impairment.

The purpose of this study is to compare visual outcome and complications of manual small incision cataract surgery (MSICS) with posterior chamber IOL implantation (PC-IOL) and phacoemulsification with posterior chamber IOL implantation for age related cataract. The study compares the visual outcome and complications of MSICS and phacoemulsification with PC-IOL performed in 80 eyes at M & J Western Regional Institute of Ophthalmology (M&J WRIO) Ahmedabad, by assessing post operative Best corrected Visual acuity (BCVA), Surgically Induced astigmatism (SIA) and complications. This was an Institutional based cohort interventional randomized, prospective study. MSICS and Phacoemulsification was performed on 80 eyes at M & J WRIO. The intraoperative complications were documented. The parameters that were examined on 1 postoperative day, 1 week, and 6 weeks postoperatively included uncorrected visual acuity, best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at 6 weeks, intra ocular pressure by non -contact tonometry and keratometry at 6 weeks to rule out SIA.Statistical analysis was performed using chi square test. p value &#60;0.05 was taken as significant.: MSICS & phacoemulsification had similar visual outcomes post-operatively. Phacoemulsification group produced less mean SIA (1.27 D) compared to MSICS group (1.29 D) and lesser (5%) complications than the MSICS group (10%). The comparison of all three parameters was not statistically significant between the two groups.: Visual outcomes, SIA and complications were comparably the same in MSICS & phacoemulsification. Therefore, MSICS can be excellent alternative to phacoemulsification.

Mergers and Acquisitions in Islamic Banking In Indonesia: A Study on BSI and Bank Victoria Syariah
Authors: Ahmad Habibi Zaman Riawan 
Published: March 2024

Mergers and acquisitions (MA) in Islamic banking in Indonesia can be viewed from the strategic interests of each bank. This research aims to examine the patterns of MA in Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI) and Bank Victoria Syariah in Indonesia. It also discusses the positive and negative implications of the MA of these two banks, as seen in the developments before and after the MA. This research employs BOCR (Benefit, Opportunity, Cost, and Risk) analysis to assess the extent to which MA patterns occur in the merger outcomes at BSI. It also utilizes CAMEL (Capital Asset Earnings and Liquidity) analysis to evaluate the post-acquisition banking health at Bank Victoria Syariah. The research descriptively explains the MA conditions in these two Islamic banks in Indonesia and the impact of MA on the banks, employees, customers, and the general public. The study results indicate that themerger of three state-owned Islamic banking companies, namely Bank Syariah Mandiri, BRI Syariah, and BNI Syariah, into BSI was carried out not only to expand the market share of Islamic banking but also due to cost considerations. At the same time, the acquisition of Bank Victoria Syariah was made due to capital needs as required by the regulator.
Accelerated Idioventricular Rhythm in Acute Coronary Syndrome with ST Segment Elevation: Clinical Significance
Authors: ZOUZOU Hanane 
Published: March 2024

Background: Accelerated Idioventricular rhythm in acute coronary syndrome with ST segment elevation is common after thrombolysis and it is relatively benign; its occurrence is considered as a sign of reperfusion of the occluded coronary artery.
Aims: The main objective of our study is the determination of the frequency of Accelerated Idioventricular rhythm in acute coronary syndrome with ST segment elevation after thrombolysis, the secondary objective is checking with coronary angiography if this rhythm really means the success of thrombolysis and reperfusion of the occluded coronary artery.
Methods and materials: In this prospective study, conducted in the cardiology department of Hussein Dey hospital (Algiers-Algeria), 467 patients with acute coronary syndrome with elevated ST segment (87 women and 380 men) were enrolled between 28 February 2014 and 16 July 2015. The average age is 60 ± 13 years; at admission, a Holter recorder was attached in 448 patients, for continuous ECG monitoring during 48 hours, coronary angiography was performed in 329 patients.
Kruskal’s ANNOVA or H tests were used for comparison of quantitative variables, χ2 test or Fisher’s exact test, were used for qualitative variables, all tests were performed with 1st species risk of 5%.
Results: The frequency of Accelerated idioventricular rhythm recorded by the Holter ECG is 17.2 % (77 patients), CI 95%: [13.7%-20.7%], this frequency is 18.71 % (73 patients) CI 95%: [14.8 %-22.6%] in patients undergoing thrombolytic treatment.
There is no significant difference between the frequencies of persistence of chest pain in the groups of patients with or without accelerated idioventricular rhythm after thrombolysis: 5.47 % (4 patients) versus 5.99 % (19 patients) respectively, p = 0.979; also for the frequencies of persistence of ST segment elevation after thrombolysis: 4.10 % (3 patients) versus 6.94 % (22 patients) respectively, p = 0.476).
The frequency of occluded coronary artery (TIMI 0) is low in group of patients with accelerated idioventricular rhythm 14.51 %, (9 patients) compared to group of patients without this rhythm 21.39 % (52 patients), but the difference isn’t significant (p= 0.227).
Conclusion: Accelerated idioventricular rhythm is common in acute coronary syndrome with elevated ST segment and generally considered as a sign of reperfusion; in our study, this rhythm may occur even in the absence of reperfusion of the occluded coronary artery and does not necessarily mean reperfusion or success of thrombolysis.
