    Abstract Recent years have seen a resurgence of nationalist sentiment across many countries in the West and beyond, and the ideology is now shaping much of the response to the worldwide Covid-19 pandemic. Robert Schertzer and Eric Taylor Woods write that this doesn’t have to be a bad thing – if we can tap into the liberal, inclusive side of nationalism as exemplified by past national projects like the New Deal.

    Abstract Federations increasingly face complex policy challenges, from managing climate change to mass migration. COVID-19 is a prime example of this emerging type of problem. This research note introduces the concept of complex intergovernmental problems (CIPs) to better understand these types of challenges.

    Abstract In this article, several scholars of nationalism discuss the potential for the COVID-19 pandemic to impact the development of nationalism and world politics. To structure the discussion, the contributors respond to three questions: (1) how should we understand the relationship between nationalism and COVID-19; (2) will COVID-19 fuel ethnic and nationalist conflict; and (3) will COVID-19 reinforce or erode the nation-state in the long run? The contributors formulated their responses to these questions near to the outset of the pandemic, amid intense uncertainty. This made it acutely difficult, if not impossible, to make predictions. Nevertheless, it was felt that a historically and theoretically informed discussion would shed light on the types of political processes that could be triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic. In doing so, the aim is to help orient researchers and policy-makers as they grapple with what has rapidly become the most urgent issue of our times.

  7. Article: Practice patterns of Canadian glaucoma specialists: planning for the next generation.

    Abstract Background: To identify practice patterns of Canadian glaucoma specialists in order to begin identifying the needs of the work force to care for the next generation of glaucoma patients.
    Methods: Survey of 130 Canadian glaucoma specialists whose names were obtained from the Canadian Ophthalmological Society specialist list.
    Results: The response rate was 62% (81/130); 77% (62/81) considered themselves glaucoma specialists, but only 77% (48/62) of these had at least 1 year of formal glaucoma training. Specialists had a mean of 6.4 half days per month in the operating room, devoting the majority of their surgical time to glaucoma but performing more cataract surgery than glaucoma surgery. Forty percent of glaucoma specialists do not perform glaucoma drainage implant surgery. All the respondents stated that wait time for emergency care was within hours, but only 21% could perform their nonurgent cases within the benchmark set in this study of 4 weeks, wait times averaging 9.2 (range: 3-24) weeks. Forty-eight percent of the glaucoma specialists were not satisfied with their mix of clinical, laser, surgery, and nonophthalmology activities. Forty-four percent plan to decrease their clinical load over the next 5 years: 23% plan to increase their teaching, 19% their research, and 35% plan to devote less time to ophthalmology over the next 5 years.
    Interpretation: Forty-eight percent of glaucoma specialists had concerns regarding timely intervention for semiurgent care, in that only 21% of these cases are performed within 1 month of a confirmed need for surgery. With a benchmark that surgery be performed within 1 month in patients whose glaucoma is progressing despite medical, laser, or prior incisional surgical care, we do not have adequate resources to care for current glaucoma needs. With the aging population and ongoing attrition of ophthalmologists, we need to plan for improved access to glaucoma surgery.

    Abstract Background: To compare the safety and efficacy of silicone and polypropylene Ahmed glaucoma drainage devices.
    Methods: We studied a retrospective consecutive case series of 91 eyes of 81 patients who were implanted with Ahmed valves by a single surgeon (R.M.S.). The first 43 eyes received polypropylene (model S2) valves; the remaining 48 eyes received silicone (model FP7) valves. Data collection included demographics, type of glaucoma, and sequential measurement of clinical characteristics. The mean outcome measures were visual acuity, intraocular pressure (IOP), number of antiglaucoma medications, and postoperative complications. Data were collected on day 1; weeks 1, 2-3, and 6; months 3-4, 6, and 12; and last visit.
    Results: Mean follow-up was 27.1 months for the polypropylene valve and 20.1 months for the silicone valve. Mean decrease in IOP at 1 year was significantly greater in the silicone group than in the polypropylene group (t test, p < 0.005); however, this difference disappeared at 2 years. There were no differences between the groups in visual acuity, number of antiglaucoma medications, bleb needlings with 5-fluorouracil, or minor complications. A greater number of serious complications, including valve failures, occurred in the polypropylene group than in the silicone group, and this difference could not be accounted for by the longer follow-up in the polypropylene group. At 2 years follow-up, 82% of patients with silicone valves and 72% of patients with polypropylene valves continued to achieve greater than 30% IOP reduction.
    Interpretation: Both the silicone and polypropylene Ahmed valves significantly reduced IOP over 2 years. The silicone valve was associated with fewer serious complications.

    Abstract Purpose: Encapsulated cysts have been inconsistently reported to occur following Ahmed glaucoma valve implant insertion. We are unaware of previous reports reviewing their management. The objective of this study was to evaluate the occurrence and management of encapsulated cyst formation following Ahmed glaucoma valve implant insertion.
    Patients and methods: Consecutive glaucoma patients who underwent Ahmed glaucoma valve implant insertion were studied retrospectively. Inclusion criteria included a minimum of 12 months of follow-up.
    Results: Fifty-seven patients met inclusion criteria for analysis. Following Ahmed glaucoma valve implant insertion, 13 patients (23%) developed an encapsulated cyst. After failing medical therapy and needling with 5-fluorouracil, 11 of these patients underwent surgical excision to control intraocular pressure. Eight of the eleven patients achieved adequate control of intraocular pressure with a mean follow-up time post excision of 330 +/- 120 days.
    Conclusion: Encapsulated cysts associated with elevated intraocular pressure were commonly seen after Ahmed glaucoma valve implant insertion. Failing medical therapy, surgical excision of the cyst is effective in lowering intraocular pressure.
