Purpose: To evaluate and compare the pharmacological characteristics and clinical efficacy of two topical steroid prednisolone preparations (Redmond®, prednisolone acetate 1%; and Pred Forte®, prednisolone acetate 1%) in reducing postoperative inflammation in patients having phacoemulsification surgery with IOL implantation, which will support our trust in national products considering it's availability and lower costs compared with universal products. Methods: I- Laboratory Study: Direct microscopic examination of the ophthalmic suspension for both formulations. II- Clinical Study: This study was interventional, prospective, randomized controlled study included 60 eyes of patients undergoing emulsification surgery with IOL implantation. Patients were assigned to one of two treatment groups, The first group (30 eyes) received Redmond® while the second group (30 eyes) received Pred Forte® in addition to standard therapy. Study drug was administered postoperatively every 2 hours while awake for 7 days, then four times daily for 7 days, then twice daily for 7 days, then once daily for 7 days. Clinical efficacy was compared for differences in visual acuity, anterior chamber cells (scale 0-4), fundus and macula, drug's ocular adverse effects: foreign body sensation and irritation (scale 1-3), and intraocular pressure (IOP). Results were compared on day 1, day 3, 1 week, 2 weeks, and 1 month postoperatively. Results: I- Average particle size in ophthalmic suspension for both formulations was (< 1 μm). (Redmond® = 0.95 μm, Pred Forte® = 0.77 μm). II- No statistical differences in clinical efficacy or safety were seen between the two formulations tested at any time point evaluated with respect to visual acuity, anterior chamber cells, fundus and macula, foreign body sensation and irritation, and intraocular pressure (IOP). Conclusions: In this study of routine cataract patients, both prednisolone acetate 1% formulations are comparably effective and safe when administered for the reduction of inflammation after phacoemulsification surgery with IOL implantation. Direct microscopic examination showed that both formulations achieved the condition that particle size in ophthalmic suspension must be less than one micron.

Purpose: to assess the efficiency of topical anesthesia in phacoemulsification with IOL implantation. Department of Ophthalmology, Muasaa Hospital. The research was carried on 56 eyes of 48 patients.
Aim of Study : The objective of this study was to compare the shaping ability of ProTaper Rotary instruments(Universal,Next) ,Hand ProTaper instruments and traditional hand instruments in long oval-shaped root canals. Methods and materials: Forty human teeth with long oval-shaped root canals were sectioned at one level in the apical third far 3 mm at the apical root . A modified Bramantetechnique was used and analyzed changes in root canal in surface area (ΔA), under (10) magnification. Where the sample was divided into four subgroups each one contains (N=10) teeth and prepares by one of the four instrumentation systems. The morphological changes were analyzed by software Program (Auto Cad 2013).
The purpose of this paper is to determine whether there is a difference in the postoperative corneal astigmatism and uncorrected visual acuity UCVA as well as best corrected visual acuity BCVA between 2 types of clear corneal incisions used in phacoe mulsification: the superior and on the steepest clear corneal incision. This study included 40 patients with cataract and mild to moderate corneal astigmatism (0.50 D - 2.00 D) who underwent phacoemulsification with foldable posterior chamber lens (with 3.2mm corneal incision). Patients were randomly divided into two groups: superior clear corneal incision group SCCI (20 eyes) and on the steepest clear corneal incision group OCCI (20 eyes). Measurements included corneal astigmatism by Keratometry, UCVA and BCVA. These Measurements were taken on first day,1 week, 2 weeks,1, 2,3 and 6 months. The mean preoperative corneal astigmatism was (1.24 D ± 0.44),(1.25 D ± 0.44) in superior corneal incision group, and on the steepest corneal incision group, respectively. After 6 months postoperatively, the mean corneal astigmatism was (1.53 D ± 0.49) in SCCI group, (1.03 D± 0.39) in OCCI group, with statistically significant difference (p<0.001).There was statistically significant difference in UCVA. But there was no statistically significant difference in BCVA. The paper concludes that compared with SCCI, the OCCI could correct some corneal astigmatism
Usually, dentists search for methods to provide a painless treatment using local anesthesia. The aim of the study is to evaluate and compare the anesthetic efficiency of three anesthetics used in dental practice in Damascus, in both maxillary lateral incisor and first molar.
