Long-Term Outcomes After Multidisciplinary Treatment for Pediatric Orbital Rhabdomyosarcoma.

(1) Background: Orbital rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare and aggressive soft tissue tumor that primarily occurs in the eye socket (orbit) of children. Treatment usually involves a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, aiming to remove the tumor and prevent metastasis. (2) Methods: An institutional retrospective study was conducted with data from 39 patients with primary orbital RMS treated between 1995 and 2016 at the Amsterdam University Medical Centers/Emma Children Hospital.

Oculoplastic publication trends in general ophthalmology journals.

Aim: To examine the publication trend of oculoplastic articles throughout the last decade in general ophthalmology journals.

Methods: A review of all abstracts published between January 2010 to December 2019 in general, clinical ophthalmic journals was conducted. Articles that were categorized as original articles in general and clinical journals were included in the study.

Publication trends in clinical ophthalmology journals in the last decade.

Purpose: To examine the absolute number and the proportions of articles published in general high-ranked ophthalmology journals for each ophthalmic subspecialty during the last decade, and to examine the publishing trends over the study period.

Methods: All original articles published between January 2010 and December 2019 in the selected general clinical ophthalmic journals were included in the study. All abstracts of original articles were reviewed and deemed to be related to 1 of the 11 ophthalmic subspecialties.

Intraocular lens implantation as an isolated risk factor for secondary glaucoma in pediatric patients.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of intraocular lens (IOL) implantation on the development of secondary glaucoma after cataract surgery in pediatric patients.

Design: Retrospective case series study.

Methods: This study reviewed the medical records of children under 16 years of age who had undergone cataract surgery from 1996 to 2016 for congenital or developmental cataract.

Infantile cataract: comparison of two surgical approaches.

Objective: To compare the results of 2 cataract extraction techniques with primary intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in children.

Design: Retrospective comparative case series study.

Methods: This study included children with congenital or developmental cataract.

Acute eclipse retinopathy: a small case series.

We present four young patients with acute severe solar retinopathy after observation of the total eclipse on January 4, 2011 without appropriate eye protection. Funduscopic findings were accompanied by optical coherence tomography (OCT) investigation of the macula. All our patients were young (range 14-29 years).

Carcinoembryonic antigen cell adhesion molecule-1 (CEACAM1) in posterior uveal melanoma: correlation with clinical and histological survival markers.

Purpose: Carcinoembryonic antigen cell adhesion molecule (CEACAM)-1 is a multi-functional protein, with strong predictive value for poor prognosis when found in primary cutaneous melanoma lesions. In this study, the expression of CEACAM1 in uveal melanoma was correlated with clinicopathologic parameters.

Methods: CEACAM1 expression was immunohistochemically evaluated in 79 primary uveal melanomas and 21 liver metastases of patients who were treated at the Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center between the years 1986 and 2006.
