Evaluation of meibomian glands after corneal laser refractive surgeries using infrared meibography Open
Background Reduced supply of functional lipids to the tear film is the outcome of meibomian gland dysfunction, which is caused by either gland blockage or inflammation. Meibomian gland (MG) atrophy is correlated with the ocular surface dis…

Correlation between central corneal thickness and retinal nerve fiber layer thickness in open-angle glaucoma Open
Background Central corneal thickness (CCT) is an important risk factor in the development and progression of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). The retinal nerve fibers respond to high intraocular pressure (IOP) with irreversible loss. So…

The implication of tissue Doppler echocardiography and cardiopulmonary exercise in early detection of cardiac dysfunction in systemic lupus erythematosus patients Open
SLE patients have an increased prevalence of subclinical systolic and diastolic LV and RV dysfunction. This result advocates for regular follow-up and early screening of SLE patients. Accordingly, treatment focused on improving diastolic h…
