    Abstract Ocular comorbidities can happen as congenital defective gene associations. We present a 37-year-old female patient who was mentally challenged and had coexisting achromatopsia gene abnormality on genetic analysis. She was operated in childhood for congenital cataract, and posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) was implanted at 10 years of age elsewhere. The patient presented 27 years later with luxated IOL with endothelial decompensation. There was a coexisting steep and thin cornea noted on corneal topography. She was managed with pre-Descemet's endothelial keratoplasty with transpositioning of posterior chamber IOL to glued IOL with single-pass four-throw pupilloplasty. Postoperatively, the cornea was clear with centered glued IOL. The lesser postanesthetic challenges and faster rehabilitation are obtained in combination procedures with reduced complications in such rare scenarios.

    Abstract Objectives: To evaluate the diagnostic utility of endotoxin and endotoxin binding protein (EBP) for the diagnosis of late-onset neonatal sepsis (LOS) and compare it with the diagnostic utility of C-reactive protein (CRP).
    Methods: This diagnostic study of neonates, both term and preterm, with clinical suspicion of LOS was conducted in a tertiary care institute in India between January 2021 and March 2023. Blood samples were collected for evaluating endotoxin and EBP along with culture. Endotoxin and EBP were measured with enzyme linked immunosorbent assay, CRP was measured by nephelometry method, and the results were compared with blood culture done with BACTEC (gold standard).
    Results: Out of 160 samples, 73 showed culture positivity. Endotoxin was positive in 81 samples and showed sensitivity of 84%, specificity of 78% and diagnostic accuracy of 81% (AUC 0.837, P value <0.001). EBP was positive in 82 samples and showed sensitivity of 80.8%, specificity of 73% and diagnostic accuracy of 76% (AUC 0.824, P value <0.001). CRP was positive in 105 samples and had sensitivity of 86%, specificity of 51% and diagnostic accuracy of 67% (AUC 0.827, P value <0.001).
    Conclusions: The present study showed endotoxin and EBP have higher specificity for diagnosing neonatal sepsis. As culture takes minimum 48 h, endotoxin and EBP can be utilized as biomarkers for diagnosis of sepsis.

    Abstract Background and aims: Spinal anesthesia has become the choice of neuraxial anesthesia for cesarean delivery. Hypotension, the most common side effect of spinal anesthesia is more in parturients. Perfusion index (PI) is one of the newest methods, used noninvasively for the prediction of hypotension postspinal anesthesia, evaluation of regional block success, and a tool for pain assessment. In our study, we have used PI for predicting the occurrence of hypotension postsubarachnoid block in elective lower segment cesarean section (LSCS).
    Methods: In this prospective observational study, parturients posted for elective LSCS under spinal anesthesia were included. Spinal anesthesia was performed at L
    Statistical analysis used: Statistical analysis was performed using the paired sample
    Results: From our study, we had found that a positive correlation exists between the baseline PI of the patient and the occurrence of hypotension intraoperatively. A cutoff value of 1.75 (with
    Conclusion: Baseline perfusion of >1.75 can predict hypotension postspinal anesthesia in LSCS. The incidence of hypotension was about 93% in parturients whose baseline was above the cutoff value.

    Abstract Background: The data on prognostic values of SYNTAX score II in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention is limited. We report predictive utility of SYNTAX score II in relation to in hospital and 1 year mortality of the patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.
    Methods: This was a cohort study of patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) at a single centre from January 2018 to December 2019. In hospital and 12-month events and mortality was analysed among 1000 patients. The patients were divided into 3 groups based on tertiles of Syntax II score (<22, 22-27.7 and >27.7).
    Result: The total mortality at 12 months was 60 (6%). Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) occurred in 87 (9%). The patients who died had higher SYNTAX score II score compared to those alive at 12 months 34 (38, 24) vs 24 (28.1, 20.9) P < 0.01. The same trend was seen in patients who had major adverse cardiac events (MACE) 28 (34, 24) vs 24 (28.6, 21) P < 0.01 Among the 3 groups of SYNTAX score II, in hospital mortality, all-cause mortality, cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, unstable angina, revascularization and major adverse cardiac events (MACE) were higher in the third tertile (>27.7) compared the lower tertiles.
    Conclusion: The patients who had higher SYNTAX score II had more in hospital and 12 month mortality and major adverse cardiac events (MACE). SYNTAX II score is a better predictor of in-hospital, and 12 month cardiovascular and all cause mortality.

    Abstract In our report, we present the hypersonic vitrectomy (Vitesse, Bausch and Lomb) being employed for anterior vitreous liquefaction and removal in posterior capsular rupture. The capsular tear with nucleus drop during conventional phacoemulsification was managed by vitrectomy using the hypersonic vitrector after posterior-assisted levitation followed by intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. The minimal cortical and epinuclear lens particles in the anterior chamber and vitreous were also liquefied with a stoke length of 30 to 40 μm and aspirated via the Vitesse vitrectomy system. The same probe performs the vitrectomy and the nucleus removal. The postoperative period was uneventful with clear cornea, normal fundus, and 20/20 best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA). The hypersonic vitrectomy utilizes the ultrasound power of 29.5 kHz and a stoke length of 0 to 60 μm for liquefaction of the vitreous. It can be a safe alternative for vitrectomy and lens removal in a single setting.

    Abstract Purpose: To find the intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation changes before and after isotonic collagen cross-linking (CXL) in keratoconus patients.
    Methods: : Thirty-five eyes of 25 patients who underwent isotonic CXL were included. The cases included conventional CXL (n = 16), accelerated CXL (n = 7), contact lens-assisted CXL (CACXL) (n = 9), accelerated CACXL (n = 3). All underwent ocular biometry (IOL master), corneal topography (Orbscan II), and simulated keratometry (Orbscan II) preoperatively and 1-year post CXL. Change in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), axial length (AL), simulated keratometry (Sim K), anterior chamber depth (ACD), and IOL power were analyzed in the overall data and then grouped based on flattening (Group A) and no flattening (Group B) of Sim K value post CXL procedure.
    Results: For the overall data, there was no significant change in IOL power (P = 0.05) at the end of 1 year, BCVA showed a significant increase (P < 0.01), and Sim K reading showed a statistically significant flattening (P = 0.001); ACD and AL showed insignificant change. In intergroup comparison, there was no statistically significant change in IOL power. However, in Group A, a significant change in BCVA and Sim K values was observed. In both groups (Group A and Group B), IOL power was found to be negatively correlated with AL and Sim K values.
    Conclusion: Isotonic CXL did not affect IOL power calculation at the end of 1 year. However, significant change in BCVA and sim K reading was noted.

    Abstract Purpose: The aim of this study was to analyze the outcomes of pre-Descemet endothelial keratoplasty (PDEK) for failed therapeutic penetrating keratoplasty.
    Methods: This was a retrospective, interventional study that involved 12 eyes of 12 patients with failed therapeutic penetrating keratoplasty that underwent PDEK. All cases had a minimum follow-up of 12 months. The main outcome measures were best-corrected visual acuity, graft clarity, endothelial cell density loss, and graft survival. Corneal clarity was graded on a scale from 0 to 4, where grade 4 denoted an absolutely clear cornea and grade 0 denoted a totally opaque cornea. Three cases underwent PDEK, 6 cases PDEK with phacoemulsification, and 3 cases underwent PDEK with pupilloplasty.
    Results: The mean follow-up period for all cases was 18.5 ± 4.9 months. The mean preoperative and postoperative best-corrected visual acuity (in Snellen decimal equivalent) was 0.02 ± 0.01 and 0.54 ± 0.17, respectively, at the last follow-up. Postoperatively, corneal clarity grade 4 was present in 9 eyes, grade 3 in 2 eyes, and grade 2 in 1 eye. Mild subepithelial haze was noted in 2 eyes. The percentage of endothelial cell density loss was 28.2% ± 10.6%. No correlation was observed between the postoperative graft clarity and preoperative specular count (r = -0.021, P = 0.512). Rebubbling was performed for 1 eye that developed partial graft detachment in the first postoperative week. One patient had an episode of rejection that was managed with systemic and topical steroids.
    Conclusions: In patients with failed therapeutic penetrating keratoplasty, PDEK can be a useful alternative for visual rehabilitation as it demonstrates favorable visual outcomes with a good graft survival rate.
