    Abstract Background: We aimed to investigate the pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions used for mitigating pain.
    Methods: We integrated randomized controlled trials (RCTs) chosen from PubMed, Google scholar, and Scopus and aimed at assessing the effectiveness of one or multiple variants of Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), as well as Narcotic analgesics, compared to corticosteroids, curcumin, hyaluronic acid, and antibiotics. In addition, trials utilizing NSAIDs, including Rofecoxib, which have been withdrawn from market circulation, were deemed ineligible for inclusion.
    Result: A total of 9 RCTs were evaluated in this study, and the patients' postoperative pain was assessed using the visual analog scale (VAS) and the time measurement. Moreover, there were various approaches to alleviating pain and discomfort.
    Conclusion: The administration of ibuprofen prior to surgery leads to a marked reduction in pain. Pharmacological interventions, such as the administration of dexamethasone and oxycodone, alongside non-pharmacological interventions, such as laser therapy, have been shown to effectively alleviate the discomfort resulting from surgical procedures on the jaw and face.

    Abstract Background: Tonsillectomy-related bleeding is one of the most prevalent and potentially fatal complications of this common surgical procedure. We aimed to assess the effect of tranexamic acid (TXA) local injection on bleeding during and after tonsillectomy.
    Methods: This double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled trial included 20 candidates for tonsillectomy referred to Al-Zahra Hospital, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran, in 2022. The subjects were randomized into two groups. Ten patients received TXA on their left side and the other ten on their right side 10 min before surgery. Placebo was administered to the contralateral side. The primary outcome was the volume of blood loss during tonsillectomy and up to 24 hours post-tonsillectomy. The secondary outcomes were surgeon satisfaction (rated 0-10), hemodynamic complications (patients' heart rate (HR) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) were recorded every 10 min), and rebleeding. The duration of surgery was also noted.
    Results: The mean age of the patients was 21.35 ± 3.16 years, of whom 8 (30%) were male and 12 (60%) were female. there was no significant difference between groups in terms of HR and MAP at any time point. The median of surgery duration did not differ significantly between the two groups; however, the surgeon satisfaction with the procedure was significantly higher with TXA compared to placebo. None of the patients developed hemodynamic complications, and rebleeding did not occur in any of the subjects.
    Conclusions: TXA local injection was not superior to placebo in terms of bleeding control during and after tonsillectomy, hemodynamic complications, rebleeding, and surgery duration.

    Abstract Purpose: To define optical coherence tomography (OCT) biomarkers that precede the development of complete retinal pigment epithelium and outer retinal atrophy (cRORA) at that location in eyes with age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
    Methods: In this retrospective case-control study, patients with dry AMD who had evidence of cRORA and OCT data available for 4 years (48 ± 4 months) prior to the first visit with evidence of cRORA were included. The visit 4 years prior to the development of cRORA was defined as the baseline visit, and the region on the OCT B-scans of future cRORA development was termed the case region. A region in the same eye at the same distance from the foveal center as the case region that did not progress to cRORA was selected as the control region. OCT B-scans at the baseline visit through both the case and control regions were evaluated for the presence of soft and cuticular drusen, drusen with hyporeflective cores (hcD), drusenoid pigment epithelial detachments (PED), subretinal drusenoid deposits (SDD), thick and thin double-layer signs (DLS), intraretinal hyperreflective foci (IHRF), and acquired vitelliform lesions (AVL).
    Results: A total of 57 eyes of 41 patients with dry AMD and evidence of cRORA were included. Mean time from the baseline visit to the first visit with cRORA was 44.7 ± 6.5 months. The presence of soft drusen, drusenoid PED, AVL, thin DLS, and IHRF at the baseline visit was all associated with a significantly increased risk of cRORA at that location. Multivariable logistic regression revealed that IHRF (OR, 8.559; p < 0.001), drusenoid PED (OR, 7.148; p = 0.001), and a thin DLS (OR, 3.483; p = 0.021) were independent predictors of development of cRORA at that location.
    Conclusions: IHRF, drusenoid PED, and thin DLS are all local risk factors for the development of cRORA at that same location. These findings would support the inclusion of these features within a more granular staging system defining specific steps in the progression from early AMD to atrophy.

    Abstract Purpose: To review the published literature regarding cataract surgery in keratoconus (KCN) patients with emphasis on challenges encountered during intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation and their solutions.
    Methods: A literature review was performed to investigate all the relevant articles on the advancements of IOL calculations in KCN patients.
    Results: Cataract surgery in keratoconic eyes can improve patients' refraction, and proper patient selection and IOL calculation methods are necessary to get the best results. The main problem in KCN patients is unreliable biometric measurements. It is more difficult to make conclusions in more advanced keratoconic corneas, as the steep keratometric values in these eyes will result in the selection of a low-power IOL. Presence of a low-power IOL will yield in extreme postoperative hyperopia, and IOL exchange might be mandatory. In cases in which keratoplasty may be needed in the future, contact lens fitting can help surgeons make a better decision preoperatively. Axial length (AL) measurements may have better repeatability and reproducibility than keratometry (K) readings in keratoconic eyes. SRK II formula may provide the most accurate IOL power in mild KCN. There is still not a comprehensive consensus of which formula is the best one in moderate and severe KCN, as the literature is limited in this subject.
    Conclusions: Various methods of IOL power calculation optimization and recommendations may hold the key to improve surgical outcomes in keratoconic eyes. There are multiple sources of biometric error in KCN patients, hence IOL calculation methods may not be as efficient as expected in these eyes.

    Abstract Background: The effect of mitomycin-C (MMC) on the reduction of endothelial cell count in the cornea remains controversial. We aimed to evaluate the effect of MMC on corneal endothelial cell parameters after refractive surface ablation procedures, including photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and laser epithelial keratomileusis (LASEK).
    Methods: In this interventional, comparative, follow-up study, 342 eyes of 171 patients were followed up for 6 months. Patients undergoing PRK or LASEK were included and were divided into two groups: group one (188 eyes of 94 patients) with an ablation depth of ≥ 65 µm and who received intraoperative 0.02% MMC for 30 s, and group two (154 eyes of 77 patients) with an ablation depth of < 65 µm and who received balanced salt solution for 30 s. Changes in endothelial cell density (ECD), central corneal thickness (CCT), coefficient of variation (CV), and hexagonality values were compared between the groups at 3 and 6 months after surgery.
    Results: The mean (standard deviaiton [SD]) age of the patients was 28.11 (6.56) years. The mean (SD) ECD did not change significantly in either group between the baseline and at 3 and 6 months postoperatively. The baseline mean ECD was significantly higher in group one than that in group two (
    Conclusions: A single intraoperative application of MMC for 30 s as prophylaxis for corneal haze development during refractive surface ablation procedures had no significant effect on ECD up to 6 months postoperatively. Future studies with a contralateral-eye design (to neutralize factors specific to the individual patient), a larger sample size, and longer follow-up are necessary to confirm or disprove our observations.

    Abstract Aims: The aim of this study is to assess baseline characteristics of drusen preceding the development of intraretinal hyper-reflective foci (IHRF) in eyes with intermediate age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
    Methods: In this retrospective case-control study, longitudinal optical coherence tomography (OCT) volume data from eyes with intermediate AMD in a retina clinic population were screened. All drusen that developed overlying IHRF were marked. A random number generator was used to select for further grading three drusen that did not develop IHRF.
    Results: Ninety eyes (from 72 patients), including 140 drusen with overlying IHRF and 270 IHRF- drusen, were analysed. Greater drusen height, basal drusen width and overlying ellipsoid zone (EZ) and external limiting membrane disruption were associated with a significantly greater risk for IHRF development (p≤0.001). Regression analysis revealed EZ disruption increased these odds by 4.1 (p≤0.001). Each 10-µm increase in drusen height and width increased the odds by 34% (p≤0.001) and 3% (p: 0.005), respectively. Each 100-µm increase in distance from the fovea decreased the odds by 10% (p: 0.013).
    Conclusions: The presence of overlying EZ disruption and a greater drusen height substantially increased the risk for IHRF development, whereas drusen further from the fovea indicated reduced risk. Given the importance of IHRF as a biomarker for AMD progression, these findings may be of value in defining patient populations for future early intervention trials.
