Lamellar Keratoplasty in Keratoconus

Corneal replacement surgery is often required in cases of advanced keratoconus to restore corneal anatomy and improve eyesight. Traditionally, full-thickness penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) has been successfully performed with good long-term outcomes. In the past two decades, lamellar keratoplasty has emerged as an alternate procedure to PKP, with reduced risk of endothelial rejection and better long-term graft survival. Anwar's big bubble (BB) technique of stromal air injection is the most fr...

Depopulation, Ageing and Place Memory in Campania’s Inner Areas. A Focus on the Cilento Interno Pilot Area

Over the past decade, Italy has faced a “demographic winter”, marked by significant territorial divisions both between the Central-Northern regions and the South and within central and inner areas, as defined by the National Strategy for Inner Areas (SNAI). This study investigates the processes of demographic decline and the geographies of aging in the inner areas of Campania, a region with pronounced demographic-settlement imbalances. The geostatistical analysis, supported by cartographic re...

Sludging: A Postoperative Clinical Finding After Ocular Surface Stem Cell Transplantation

Purpose:The objective of this study was to describe a postoperative clinical finding coined "sludging."Sludging is defined as a noninflammatory vascular phenomenon observed following ocular surface stem cell transplantation (OSST) characterized by dilated blood vessels localized to the graft. Also, the aim of our study was to identify associated risk factors and the impact on OSST graft outcomes.Methods:A total of 261 eyes of 196 patients who underwent OSST to treat severe limbal stem cell de...
