Keratopigmentation in the modern era: A review of current techniques, results, and safety.

To conduct a literature review on current knowledge regarding keratopigmentation (KTP), with a particular focus on femtosecond-assisted procedures. A narrative literature review was performed. Academic databases (PubMed, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library, and SciELO) were searched for articles containing the keywords "keratopigmentation" and "corneal tattoo.

Model based on clinical characteristics to identify patients with neurogenic oropharyngeal dysphagia.

Introduction: Neurogenic oropharyngeal dysphagia is a form of functional dysphagia usually caused by neurological and neuromuscular diseases, which produces several secondary complications. To improve its detection and characterization, models are emerging that integrate clinical variables to complement the physical examination of swallowing.

Objective: Develop an explanatory model to differentiate patients with neurogenic oropharyngeal dysphagia.

Multivariate Determinants of Emotional Compromise and Subjective Functional Quality of Life in Surgery-Naïve Patients With Keratoconus as Measured With the Keratoconus End Points Assessment Questionnaire.

Purpose: Keratoconus affects patients' quality of life. No study has assessed the multivariate determinants of quality of life using the keratoconus end points assessment questionnaire (KEPAQ).

Methods: This study included patients with keratoconus with no history of ocular surgery, who underwent clinical evaluation and tomographic imaging using a dual Scheimpflug/Placido device (Galilei G6).

One-Year Results of a Posterior Chamber Toric Phakic Intraocular Lens Implantation in Patients with Keratoconus.

Purpose: To determine clinical and refractive results after the implantation of EyeCryl Phakic Toric intraocular lens in patients with stable keratoconus.

Methods: The study included all patients diagnosed with keratoconus who underwent implantation of an EyeCryl Phakic Toric intraocular lens (Biotech Healthcare Holding; Ahmedabad, India) in at least one eye and had a follow-up of at least 12 months. Visual and refractive data were collected for all patients, along with corneal tomography measurements using Pentacam, and vault measurement using optical coherence tomography.
