    Abstract Noradrenaline (NA) release from locus coeruleus axons generates vascular contractile tone in arteriolar smooth muscle and contractile capillary pericytes. This tone allows neuronal activity to evoke vasodilation that increases local cerebral blood flow (CBF). Much of the vascular resistance within the brain is located in capillaries and locus coeruleus axons have NA release sites closer to pericytes than to arterioles. In acute brain slices, NA contracted pericytes but did not raise the pericyte cytoplasmic Ca

    Abstract Scrub typhus is an acute febrile illness caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi. The diagnosis of scrub typhus relies on the patient's history of exposure, clinical manifestations, and results of serological tests. Our patient had a history of altered sensorium, inability to walk, and macular rashes predominantly distributed over the chest and bilateral upper limbs. Post serological testing, the patient was referred to the radiology department for MRI brain. Radiologically, MRI being a superior modality helps in the evaluation of lesions in depth, helping to simplify the diagnosis of meningitis, scrub typhus encephalitis, and other related conditions. Various findings have been described in scrub typhus encephalitis in MR brain imaging, and our case shows an unusual finding in brain imaging.

    Abstract A 60year old male presented with insidious onset, gradually progressive, painless diminution of vision in the right eye since a year. He was operated for cataract about 7 years ago. However, details of surgery or intraocular lens (IOL) were unavailable. Fellow eye was unremarkable. Examination revealed a visual acuity of FC at 5 mts. Slit-lamp examination revealed a quiet anterior chamber without any cells-flare nor any posterior synechiae. Co-axial retro-illumination revealed an in-the-bag IOL, having both haptics folded on the optic with scarring and contraction of the capsular bag, most apparent in the centre. Fundus examination with indirect ophthamoloscopy was difficult owing to the media haze due to capsular scarring but retina was unremarkable as far as could be seen. A diagnosis of "Capsular Bag Phimosis"1,2,3,4 was made. An ASOCT demonstrated such severe moulding of the IOL that a simple YAG capsulotomy may have increased visual acuity but would have lead to severe image distortion, metamorphopsia and resultant aniseikonia. IOL was explanted alongwith the phimosed capsular bag and a Scleral-fixated IOL was placed to achieve a final BCVA 20/20P Snellen.

    Abstract Purpose: To define the use of modified bandage-contact-lens as a guide-marker for performing continuous-curvilinear-capsulorhexis by a first-year-post-graduate-ophthalmology-resident.
    Observation: Phacoemulsification has now become the standard cataract surgery in which anterior capsulorhexis is the first and most crucial step. A perfect capsulorhexis is difficult to learn and even more difficult to master with a steep learning curve when performed free-hand especially by a first-year post-graduate ophthalmology-resident. There is paucity of simple, single-use, easily portable, cost-effective and affordable devices designed especially for performing CCCs in a safe and reproducible way.In our technique, the bandage contact lens (BCL) is trephined using a 6mm corneal trephine. After topical or peribulbar block (as the case may be), the 6mm-guide-marker (trephined BCL) is placed on the cornea. The CCC is then completed using the edge of the contact-lens as a guide for CCC.
    Conclusion: AND IMPORTANCE: CCC with contact-lens-guide-marker is expected to yield better results in carrying out the procedure more accurately being closer to the target in terms of size, circularity and centration as compared to contact-lens-unassisted conventional CCC. This would eventually facilitate better surgical outcomes and we recommend this to be applied as the standard protocol for first-year post-graduate ophthalmology-resident performing the surgery.

    Abstract Oxygen supplementation is regularly prescribed to patients to treat or prevent hypoxia. However, excess oxygenation can lead to reduced cerebral blood flow (CBF) in healthy subjects and worsen the neurological outcome of critically ill patients. Most studies on the vascular effects of hyperoxia focus on arteries but there is no research on the effects on cerebral capillary pericytes, which are major regulators of CBF. Here, we used bright-field imaging of cerebral capillaries and modeling of CBF to show that hyperoxia (95% superfused O<sub>2</sub>) led to an increase in intracellular calcium level in pericytes and a significant capillary constriction, sufficient to cause an estimated 25% decrease in CBF. Although hyperoxia is reported to cause vascular smooth muscle cell contraction via generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), endothelin-1 and 20-HETE, we found that increased cytosolic and mitochondrial ROS levels and endothelin release were not involved in the pericyte-mediated capillary constriction. However, a 20-HETE synthesis blocker greatly reduced the hyperoxia-evoked capillary constriction. Our findings establish pericytes as regulators of CBF in hyperoxia and 20-HETE synthesis as an oxygen sensor in CBF regulation. The results also provide a mechanism by which clinically administered oxygen can lead to a worse neurological outcome.

    Abstract 15-year-old boy presented with sudden onset, stable, nonprogressive painless diplopia (greatest in right gaze and inferior field of view) and hyperdeviation of left eye for a year. On ophthalmic examination, the patient had uncrossed diplopia with tilt and separation maximum in dextrodepression. On Park's three step test, left eye hypertropia increased on right gaze and left tilt suggestive of left superior oblique (SO) palsy. On prism bar cover test (PBCT), deviation was more than 25 PD base-down over the left eye for both distance and near in all gazes. MRI head and orbit revealed a normal study while the myasthenia and inflammatory work-up was unremarkable. A provisional diagnosis of "Idiopathic Acquired Left Superior Oblique Palsy" was made and the patient was given trial of oral steroids at 1 mg/kg body weight. At 6 weeks, patient's diplopia resolved and PBCT neutralised at 6PD. Oral steroids were gradually tapered off by 10 mg per week with weekly follow-up. Upon decreasing the dose of prednisolone to 5 mg, intermittent diplopia and 18 PD left hypertropia reappeared. When patient was again restarted on oral steroids at 1 mg/kg body weight, diplopia-hypertropia disappeared at 10 mg OD prednisolone only to reappear at 5 mg OD dosage, leading to the final diagnosis of a "Steroid Dependent Isolated Superior Oblique Palsy". Presently, the patient is maintained on a daily dose of 10 mg oral prednisolone.
