Case Report: Front surface eccentricity of scleral lens: Its impact on visual quality in eyes with higher-order aberrations induced by refractive surgery

Purpose To report the impact of front surface eccentricity (FSE) of scleral lenses (SCLs) on the visual performance of eyes exhibiting refractive surgery-induced higher-order aberrations (HOAs) Method A female teenager presented to the clinic with blurring of vision and dependency on spectacles even after undergoing Small Incision Lenticule Extraction (SMILE) in both eyes (BE). Her presenting uncorrected high contrast distance visual acuity (HCDVA) was 20/60 in the right eye (RE) and 20/40 in the left eye (LE). On examination, the cornea showed a ring-shaped area of ablation with faint scarring and a well-apposed lenticule-extraction site. Subjective refraction improved the HCDVA to 20/20p in RE and 20/25 in LE but the patient was not happy with the quality of vision. Ocular aberrometry revealed an increase in total HOAs as the underlying cause of unsatisfactory vision. Result A contact lens trial was recommended for BE to enhance visual quality. Rigid corneal lenses (RCLs) were tried, but the patient was intolerant to them. Large diameter SCLs of different FSEs (0, 0.6, and 0.8) were tried to reduce these aberrations. SCL with FSE 0 yielded the most favourable visual outcome, which was confirmed subjectively on ocular aberrometry. Conclusion With this case report, we hypothesize that the eccentricity of SCL can be selected according to the asphericity (at 6 mm) of the posterior corneal surface. This case also re-emphasizes the impact of SCL with varying FSEs on reducing HOAs and enhancing visual quality in eyes where conventional RCLs yield suboptimal results.

AYURVEDIC APPROACH IN THE MANAGEMENT OF SUBCONJUNCTIVAL HAEMORRHAGE WITH RESPECT TO ARJUNA: A CASE STUDY

Redness of the eye is a common symptom that draws patients to OPD. Subconjunctival haemorrhage is a symptomless condition, but the redness of the eyes grabs society's attention. The condition can be compared with Arjuna, a suklagata roga (conditions affecting the sclera and conjunctiva). A female teenager presented with the complaint of redness of the left eye with features of inflammation of the conjunctiva, and no other systemic findings were observed. The patient was treated in Shalakya tantra OPD with a single procedure of aschotana (instillation) using medicines told in Arjuna chikitsa in Ashtanga Hridaya. Internal medication was prescribed by focusing on the inflammation of the conjunctiva. The haemorrhage was easily absorbed within five days. All symptoms were reduced, and the patient was satisfied. Thus, subconjunctival haemorrhage can be managed easily with respect to Arjuna using simple OPD medicines and procedures. Conjunctiva is a translucent membrane which lines the posterior surface of eyelids and the anterior aspect of the cornea where subconjunctival haemorrhage as small petechial haemorrhage to an extensive one spreading under the whole of the bulbar conjunctiva occurs. Even though hypertension is the major risk factor, there are so many causative factors which contribute to haemorrhage.

Effect of Regular Plyometric Training on Growth-related Factors in Obesity Female Teenager

OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the effect of regular plyometric training on growth-related factors in obese female teenager.METHODS The subjects of the study consisted of elementary school students group (EG, n=5) and middle school students group(MG, n=6), and overweight or obese experimenters were selected based on the ‘2017 Child and Adolescent Growth Chart Age Body Mass’ index. Exercise was conducted for 12 weeks. All measurements were carried out before and after exercise. The data processing was verified using the SPSS 26.0 statistical program to verify the correlation between paired t-test and Pearson in the 12-week pretraining and post-training groups.RESULTS After 12 weeks of plyometric training, there were significant differences in height(p=.002), ASIS(p=.003), body fat percentage(p=.018), and muscle mass(p=.014) among body composition of EG. There was a significant difference in height(p=.015) in body composition of MG. In the evaluation of muscle function, in muscle strength(60°/sec), (R)-FLE PT/bw(p=.011), (L)-FLE PT/bw(p=.017) in EG and muscle power(180°/sec), (R)-FLE PT/bw(p=.024), (L)-EXT PT/bw(p=.001), (R)-FLE TW/bw(p=.004) and (L)-EXT TW/ bw(p=.012) showed a statistically significant difference. In terms of correlation, significant relationships were found between EG body fat mass and IGF-1(p<.05), and between body fat mass and IGF-1/IGF-BP3(p<.05).CONCLUSIONS Regular plyometric training had a positive effect on growth-related factors in obese female teenager.

Across-species benefits of adrenalectomy on congenital generalized lipoatrophic diabetes: a review.

Two adrenalectomies py -45erformed fourteen years apart notoriously alleviated insulin resistance in a female teenager with Congenital Generalized Lipoatrophy (CGL, 1988) and in a murine model of CGL (2002). Following a successful therapeutic trial with anti-glucocorticoids, we performed the first surgical procedure on an 18-year-old girl. Before surgery, the anti-glucocorticoid therapy produced a rapid and striking drop in fasting serum insulin levels (from over 400 to 7.0 mU/L) and a slower -but impressive- fall in fasting serum triglycerides from 7,400 to 220-230 mg/dL. In contrast, fasting serum glucose levels dropped more slowly, from 225-290 to 121-138 mg/dL. Two weeks following total adrenalectomy, the fasting serum glucose level was 98 mg/dL, with a corresponding serum insulin level of 10 mU/L. During an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test, the 2-hour serum glucose was 210 mg/dL, and serum insulin values during the test did not exceed 53 mU/L. In 2002, the A-ZIP/F1 hypoleptinemic mouse had its adrenal glands removed. Even though this CGL model does not respond well to leptin replacement, an infusion of recombinant leptin reduced the characteristic hypercorticosteronemia of this murine model of CGL. Adrenalectomy in this transgenic mouse improved insulin sensitivity in the liver and muscle. In summary, adrenalectomy -in both a human and a mouse case of CGL- limited adipose tissue exposure to corticosteroid action and led to a notorious metabolic improvement. On a broader scenario, given that leptin restrains the adrenal axis, the reduced leptin activity of the leptin resistance displayed by obese subjects should lead to adrenal axis overactivity. This overactivity should result in elevated serum levels of free cortisol, free fatty acids, and glycerol. In this manner, leptin resistance should lead to peripheral (adipose tissue, liver, and muscle) insulin resistance and islet beta-cell apoptosis, paving the way to Type 2 diabetes.

Nutrition optimisation of young tuberculosis patient with poor oral intake

ABSTRACT A 19-year-old female teenager, Chinese, admitted to medical ward on 30 April 2023 with the reason of admission of recurrent disseminated pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) and presented with fever (2/12), cough (3/7), loose stool (1/12), shortness of breath (6/12), lethargy (2/52) and poor oral intake.

Gambaran Self Disclosure Remaja yang Mengalami Broken Home

Broken home will affect teenager development. Teenagers coming from a broken family will lose their way, find it difficult to trust others and even tend to do negative things. Teenagers need direction from their parents in their developments. Therefore, teenagers need to be able to express themselves, find solutions to problems they are facing and need guidance in order that they not feel alone in solving their problems. This study aims to determine the depiction of self-disclosure of teenagers from broken homes with phenomenological qualitative research methods. In collecting the data, researchers used semi-structured interview techniques and unstructured observations. The research subjects were two teenagers aged 15-18 years, male and female. The results of this study indicate that male teenager has less self-disclosure than female teenager, which is marked by the inability of the individual to express himself in detail or thoroughly. Meanwhile, female teenager is able to express herself in detail and thoroughly to others. Both subjects also prefer to disclose themselves intensely to their family rather than friends because they consider their family a trusted person.

Wheelchair controlled by human brainwave using brain-computer interface system for paralyzed patient

Integrated wheelchair controlled by human brainwave using a brain-computer interface (BCI) system was designed to help disabled people. The invention aims to improve the development of integrated wheelchair using a BCI system, depending on the ability individual brain attention level. An electroencephalography (EEG) device called mindwave mobile plus (MW+) has been employed to obtain the attention value for wheelchair movement, eye blink to change the mode of the wheelchair to move forward (F), to the right (R), backward (B) and to the left (L). Stop mode (S) is selected when doing eyebrow movement as the signal quality value of 26 or 51 is produced. The development of the wheelchair controlled by human brainwave using a BCI system for helping a paralyzed patient shows the efficiency of the brainwave integrated wheelchair and improved using human attention value, eye blink detection and eyebrow movement. Also, analysis of the human attention value in different gender and age category also have been done to improve the accuracy of the brainwave integrated wheelchair. The threshold value for male children is 60, male teenager (70), male adult (40) while for female children is 50, female teenager (50) and female adult (30).

The impact of teenage pregnancy on school dropout in Brazil: a Bayesian network approach

BackgroundAs reported by the World Health Organization, adolescent pregnancy is a major public health concern given its impact on the life of mothers and their family members. In this study we investigated possible cause-effect relations between teenage pregnancy and school dropout, and other attributes that gravitate around them, using the Bayesian network approach.MethodsWe used a database prepared by the Adolescent House Project and invited experts in the areas of Health, Education and Social Assistance to answer a survey containing questions aimed at detecting possible causal relationships. To perform the statistical analysis and the numerical simulations we employed the language and formalism of Bayesian networks.ResultsThe analysis indicated a strong cause-effect relation between teenage pregnancy and school dropout, bolstered by economic vulnerability. We were able to identify the profile of the female teenager who drops out from school: white girls older than 15 years who got pregnant at least once, are not working to generate an income, and who belong to the group where the family income is less than or equal to US$780 per month. Also we detected the “maternal impact factor", i.e., the effect caused by whether or not the mothers of the teenagers have experienced teenage pregnancy.ConclusionThere are many factors that lead teenagers to drop out of school; we confirmed not only the commonsense notion that pregnancy of the teenager is a major factor but found that a history of teenage pregnancy on the part of the mother is a major factor. Moreover, Bayesian networks emerged as an interesting mathematical framework to perform the statistical analysis.

Rehabilitation of an adolescent patient’s anophthalmic cavity with customized ocular prosthesis: a clinical report

The absence of an eyeball results in physical, psychosocial and functional alterations on an individual. Therefore, rehabilitation procedures are essential to repair the patient’s self-esteem, self-confidence and physiological features. The aim of this study is to describe a case of ocular prosthetic rehabilitation in a pediatric patient. A female teenager, 17 years old, was referred to the maxillofacial prosthetic clinic to replace her former prosthesis fabricated two years ago. The new ocular prosthesis was confectioned with termopolymerizable acrylic resin and hand painted with acrylic paint on a colorless acrylic ocular bottom. The prosthesis was installed and the instructions were explained. In teenage patients the prothesis must be elaborated as soon as possible with periodic replacements in accordance with the growth period. The awareness of legal guardians and patients is essential to the success of the treatment in pediatric patients. In the present case, the patient was satisfied with the aesthetic and functional outcome.

GAMBARAN KECEMASAN DAN KEPATUHAN REMAJA PUTRI TERHADAP KEBIASAAN BARU DI MASA PANDEMI COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak threatens not only physical health, but also the psychological health of society. Psychological effects have mild to severe impacts. Adolescents are still classified as unstable age, thus they are easily shaken psychologically, experiencing excess anxiety and fear of contracting the virus. Anxiety in adolescents is a natural reaction in this COVID-19 pandemic situation. However, if this situation lasts for a long time, it may cause psychological problems. This study used a descriptive quantitative design with a survey method. Population sampling used non-probability sampling technique, i.e. purposive sampling, in order to obtain a sample of 95 female teenager respondents. This study aims to investigate the anxiety and compliant levels of the female teenager related to new habits during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results showed that the majority of respondents were adolescents with a mild (80%), followed by moderate (8.4%), and severe (10.5%) level of anxiety. Based on these data, it means that teenagers currently have a fairly good level of stress management, although there are still some teenagers who experience severe level of anxiety. The possible cause of this condition was the abundance of information about the corona virus, which had a negative impact. Indeed, we have to update our information as an effort to remain vigilant. However, continuous exposure will have an impact on mental health, in which resulted in stress, anxiety, panic, and fear. Compliant of the female teenagers to new habits during the New Normal period was achieved by washed our hands (61.1%), always using masks (86.3%), always applying social distancing (50.5%), and staying at home (55.8%). The role of adolescents in new habits is urgently needed to prevent transmission of COVID-19.
