    Abstract Abstract: The main purpose of this review is to compare and analyze the results of the main PresbyLASIK approaches; central and peripheral.
    Summary: A comprehensive research was conducted in PUBMED using keywords like "presbyopia correction", "PresbyLASIK", "Corneal multifocality", "Laser blended vision". We reviewed the PresbyLASIK technique, uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA), and corrected near visual acuity (CNVA), and compared the differences between the techniques.

    Abstract Purpose: To estimate the prevalence of blindness, visual impairment, diabetes mellitus, and diabetic retinopathy in patients aged 50 years and older in the State of Nuevo León, Mexico.
    Methods: Ninety-one clusters of 60 people aged 50+ were selected randomly and a rapid assessment of avoidable blindness (RAAB) was conducted. Participants had their visual acuity and cause of visual impairment assessed, underwent a random glucose test and fundoscopy under mydriasis if they had diabetes. The diabetic retinopathy (DR) degree was classified according to the Scottish diabetic retinopathy grading scheme.
    Results: From the sample 5,055 (92.6%) people were examined. The blindness prevalence was 1.7% (95% Confidence Interval: 1.3-2.1%). Cataract (32.6%), DR (29.1%) and glaucoma (16.3%) were the leading causes of blindness. The prevalence of severe, moderate, and early visual impairment was 1.0%, 5.1%, and 7.7%, respectively. Among respondents, 31% had diabetes and 8.1% of them was not diagnosed prior to the study. Of all participants with diabetes, 50% had glucose levels of 200 mg/dl or higher and 15.7% had sight-threatening diabetic retinopathy.
    Conclusions: Besides strengthening of cataract intervention activities, more ophthalmic services for diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma control are needed in Nuevo León to provide timely intervention to prevent blindness.

    Abstract Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), a complex and heterogeneous autoimmune disease, represents a significant challenge for both diagnosis and treatment. Patients with SLE in Latin America face special problems that should be considered when therapeutic guidelines are developed. The objective of the study is to develop clinical practice guidelines for Latin American patients with lupus. Two independent teams (rheumatologists with experience in lupus management and methodologists) had an initial meeting in Panama City, Panama, in April 2016. They selected a list of questions for the clinical problems most commonly seen in Latin American patients with SLE. These were addressed with the best available evidence and summarised in a standardised format following the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation approach. All preliminary findings were discussed in a second face-to-face meeting in Washington, DC, in November 2016. As a result, nine organ/system sections are presented with the main findings; an 'overarching' treatment approach was added. Special emphasis was made on regional implementation issues. Best pharmacologic options were examined for musculoskeletal, mucocutaneous, kidney, cardiac, pulmonary, neuropsychiatric, haematological manifestations and the antiphospholipid syndrome. The roles of main therapeutic options (ie, glucocorticoids, antimalarials, immunosuppressant agents, therapeutic plasma exchange, belimumab, rituximab, abatacept, low-dose aspirin and anticoagulants) were summarised in each section. In all cases, benefits and harms, certainty of the evidence, values and preferences, feasibility, acceptability and equity issues were considered to produce a recommendation with special focus on ethnic and socioeconomic aspects. Guidelines for Latin American patients with lupus have been developed and could be used in similar settings.
