RESUMEN
Purpose: To detect the presence of urotensin-2 (U-II) in the aqueous humor and evaluate the relationship between aqueous humor level and systemic diseases and pupil size. Methods: The study included 88 patients who underwent cataract surgery. Those with a pupil diameter (PD) of up to 4 mm were considered to have small dilation, those with 4-7 mm of dilatation were considered to have moderate dilation, and those with a PD of more than 7 mm considered to have large dilation. Patients with HT (hypertension) were classified as group 1, those with DM (diabetes mellitus) as group 2, and those with HT+DM as group 3, and those without any systemic disease as group 4. The U-II levels in humor aqueous samples taken from anterior chamber were measured. Results: When compared with the control group, it was observed that the level of U-II in the aqueous humor of the HT, DM, and DM+HT groups was significantly higher (P < 0.05). At the same time, when we compared the DM+HT group with the other groups, the level of U-II in the aqueous humor was significantly higher compared to the group with DM (P < 0.05). The U-II levels of the aqueous humor were higher in the patients with small pupils compared to the remaining groups (P < 0.005). Conclusion: U-II may play a role in small pupil pathophysiology. In addition, it was determined that patients with HT and/or diabetes had higher U-II levels in the aqueous humor than healthy individuals.

Calcium (Ca2+ ) acts as a ubiquitous second messenger, and normal cell and tissue physiology strictly depends on the precise regulation of Ca2+ entry, storage, and release. Store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) is a major mechanism controlling extracellular Ca2+ entry, and mainly relies on the accurate interplay between the Ca2+ sensor STIM1 and the Ca2+ channel ORAI1. Mutations in STIM1 or ORAI1 result in abnormal Ca2+ homeostasis and are associated with severe human disorders. Recessive loss-of-function mutations impair SOCE and cause combined immunodeficiency, while dominant gain-of-function mutations induce excessive extracellular Ca2+ entry and cause tubular aggregate myopathy (TAM) and Stormorken syndrome (STRMK). TAM and STRMK are spectra of the same multisystemic disease characterized by muscle weakness, miosis, thrombocytopenia, hyposplenism, ichthyosis, dyslexia, and short stature. To date, 42 TAM/STRMK families have been described, and here we report five additional families for which we provide clinical, histological, ultrastructural, and genetic data. In this study, we list and review all new and previously reported STIM1 and ORAI1 cases, discuss the pathomechanisms of the mutations based on the known functions and the protein structure of STIM1 and ORAI1, draw a genotype/phenotype correlation, and delineate an efficient screening strategy for the molecular diagnosis of TAM/STRMK.

AIM: To examine ischemic neurodegeneration of the ciliospinal center on permanent miosis following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). MATERIAL AND METHODS: Nineteen rabbits were examined in this study. The animals were divided into three groups, as control (GI, n=5), sham (GII, n=5) and study group (GIII, n=9). Pupil diameters were measured after giving 0.5 mL physiological saline for sham and autologous arterial blood for the study group into the cervico-thoracic subarachnoid space. After three weeks of follow up, the cervico-thoracic cord and bilateral superior cervical sympathetic ganglia were removed. The pupil diameter values were compared with degenerated neuron volumes of sympathetic ganglia and degenerated neuron densities of thoracic sympathetic nuclei which were studied by stereological methods. RESULTS: The mean pupil diameter was 5180 ± 370 µm and the mean degenerated neuron density of the ciliospinal center was 4 ± 1/mm3 in animals of the control group (GI). These values were 9850 ± 610 εm, 10 ± 3/mm3 in sham (GII), and 7.010 ± 440 εm and 98 ± 21/mm3 in the study (GIII) groups. There was an inverse relationship between degenerated neuron density of the ciliospinal nuclei and pupil diameters. CONCLUSION: We showed and reported for the first time that ciliospinal sympathetic center ischemia-induced neurodegeneration may have been responsible for permanent miosis following SAH.

BACKGROUND: Opioids are a mainstay of perioperative analgesia. Opioid use in children with obstructive sleep apnea is challenging because of assumptions for increased opioid sensitivity and assumed risk for opioid-induced respiratory depression compared to children without obstructive sleep apnea. These assumptions have not been rigorously tested. This investigation tested the hypothesis that children with obstructive sleep apnea have an increased pharmacodynamic sensitivity to the miotic and respiratory depressant effects of the prototypic µ-opioid agonist remifentanil. METHODS: Children (8 to 14 yr) with or without obstructive sleep apnea were administered a 15-min, fixed-rate remifentanil infusion (0.05, 0.1, or 0.15 µg · kg · min). Each dose group had five patients with and five without obstructive sleep apnea. Plasma remifentanil concentrations were measured by tandem liquid chromatography mass spectrometry. Remifentanil effects were measured via miosis, respiratory rate, and end-expired carbon dioxide. Remifentanil pharmacodynamics (miosis vs. plasma concentration) were compared in children with or without obstructive sleep apnea. RESULTS: Remifentanil administration resulted in miosis in both non-obstructive sleep apnea and obstructive sleep apnea patients. No differences in the relationship between remifentanil concentration and miosis were seen between the two groups at any of the doses administered. The administered dose of remifentanil did not affect respiratory rate or end-expired carbon dioxide in either group. CONCLUSIONS: No differences in the remifentanil concentration-miosis relation were seen in children with or without obstructive sleep apnea. The dose and duration of remifentanil administered did not alter ventilatory parameters in either group.

Stormorken syndrome is a rare genetic disorder (MIM 185070) first reported in 1983 with thrombocytopenia, muscle weakness, asplenia, and miosis caused by a mutation of the stromal interaction molecule 1 ( STIM1) gene.1 The muscle weakness is caused by a myopathy with tubular aggregate formation. We report a family in which both child and mother presented with proximal muscle weakness and thrombocytopenia. Histologic, histochemical, and electron microscopy studies were performed on the muscle specimen. It documented accumulation of tubular aggregates and chronic myopathic changes with dystrophic features. Genetic testing revealed that both mother and son carried a missense mutation of c.326A>G in exon 3 of the STIM1 gene, which is novel for Stormorken syndrome. We suggest that patients with unexplained chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenia and proximal weakness have genetic testing for Stormorken syndrome.

AIM: Femtosecond laser assisted cataract surgery is associated with pupillary constriction. This study aims to look at patient and surgical factors predisposing to abnormal pupil behaviour during FLACS. METHODS: This prospective observational study included all patients undergoing FLACS in the Princess of Wales Hospital, Bridgend, UK between February and June 2017. Pupils were measured at three time points; immediately before and after laser pre-treatment, and at the start of surgery. Pupil behaviour during surgery was noted in descriptive terms, patient demographic, co-morbidities, eye measurements, suction on time, shifting time and laser energy levels were recorded. RESULTS: Seventy-three eyes were included. Average patient age was 74.84⯱â¯9.1 years. Mean horizontal pupil sizes immediately before and after femto pre-treatment were 7.87⯱â¯0.87â¯mm and 7.7⯱â¯0.89â¯mm respectively (Pâ¯<â¯0.0005). Mean horizontal pupil size at the start of surgery was 6.83⯱â¯1.43â¯mm (Pâ¯<â¯0.0005). Short capsulotomy-pupil distance (Pâ¯=â¯0.01), shallower anterior chamber (Pâ¯=â¯0.0012), smaller pre-operative pupil size (Pâ¯=â¯0.045) and longer suction on time (Pâ¯=â¯0.0019) were significantly associated with intra-operative miosis during FLACS. Sustained mydriasis was observed in eyes in whom topical diclofenac was used within 2â¯h of surgery. CONCLUSIONS: FLACS can result in significant pupil miosis. Eyes particularly at risk are ones with smaller pre-operative pupils and shallower anterior chambers and those subjected to longer suction on time. Well-timed NSAIDs application could be protective against this phenomenon.

Calcium (Ca2+) is an essential regulator for a large number of cellular functions in various tissues and organs, and small disturbances of Ca2+ homeostasis can severely compromise normal physiology. Intracellular Ca2+ balance is mainly controlled by the reticular Ca2+ sensor STIM1 and the plasma membrane Ca2+ channel ORAI1 through a mechanism known as store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE). Gain-of-function mutations in STIM1 or ORAI1 cause excessive extracellular Ca2+ influx, resulting in tubular aggregate myopathy (TAM) and Stormorken syndrome (STRMK). Both disorders are spectra of the same disease and involve muscle weakness, miosis, thrombocytopenia, hyposplenism, ichthyosis, dyslexia, and short stature. Here we summarize the clinical and histological characteristics of both disorders, provide an overview on the genetic causes, and recapitulate the current knowledge on the pathomechanisms leading to the multi-systemic phenotype of tubular aggregate myopathy and Stormorken syndrome.

El síndrome de Horner (SH) se caracteriza por ptosis palpebral, miosis pupilar y anhidrosis. Se debe a una interrupción de la vía oculosimpática. Las etiologías son múltiples incluyendo tumorales, traumáticas, iatrogénicas o vasculares. En ocasiones representa una urgencia médica. Para su diagnóstico se usan los test de colirios, como cocaína, hidroxianfetamina o apraclonidina, y pruebas de neuroimagen para establecer la etiología. Presentamos un caso de un SH asociado a bocio multinodular. Se trata de una paciente de 63 años derivada por ptosis palpebral derecha de 4 meses de evolución. En la exploración se objetivó miosis, por lo que se sospechó un SH. Reinterrogando a la paciente esta refirió antecedente de bocio multinodular benigno. Las exploraciones farmacológicas y de neuroimagen confirmaron el diagnóstico de sospecha de SH secundario a la enfermedad tiroidea
Horner's syndrome (HS) occurs when there is disruption to the oculosympathetic pathway. Its features include eyelid ptosis, miosis and anhidrosis. The aetiology of this syndrome is varied and includes tumours, trauma, vascular disease and iatrogenic. Different pharmacologic tests are used for diagnosis, such as cocaine, hydroxyamphetamine and apraclonidine; while neuroimaging helps elucidating the aetiology. We present a case of a 63-year-old female referred to our service with a 4-month history of right eyelid ptosis. During examination right miosis was noted. The patient reported a history of multinodular goiter. Pharmacologic tests and neuroimaging confirmed the diagnosis of HS secondary to thyroid disease

Measurement of the dark-adaptation threshold plays a key role in the diagnosis and estimation of disease progression of many retinal disorders. Determining the threshold is, however, difficult to perform in young children. We present here a prototype for a dark adaptometer, the Tuebingen Scotopic Threshold Test aimed to ease measurement of photoreceptor thresholds in young subjects. The device consists of two 7 cm ×10 cm fields with either blue or yellow LEDs, for testing rod or cone sensitivity, respectively. Presentation of homogenous field patterns or a flickering stimulus is also possible. The luminance threshold is measured by the method of ascending limits and the stimulus luminance, data recording and analysis are computer controlled. Preliminary results for six adults and two older children were ascertained and the influence of pupil dilation, binocular presentation, and a flickering stimulus examined. The method provides credible and consistent evaluations of the absolute threshold.

Two young males were hospitalized with miosis and respiratory dysfunction after exposure to a white powder obtained from a foreign source by mail. A few days later, one of the males was found dead at his home. A serum sample from one of the hospitalized patients and a blood sample from the deceased contained ortho-fluorofentanyl in concentrations of 2.5 and 2.4 ng/mL, respectively. It was concluded that death was caused by ortho-fluorofentanyl.

PURPOSE: To describe a new technique for implantation of capsule-fixated intraocular lenses (IOLs) (FEMTIS; Oculentis, Berlin, Germany) in patients with small pupils. METHODS: In 4 eyes with small pupils, an anterior capsule-fixated IOL was implanted into the capsular bag after femtosecond laser treatment. The two large and two small flaps of the IOL were elevated to the front of the iris and the anterior capsule. Finally, the iris was flipped over the flaps to ensure a fixation of the capsule inside of the capsulotomy. RESULTS: In all cases, the implantation of anterior capsule-fixated IOLs was possible. No complications occurred during surgery or within the first months after surgery. CONCLUSIONS: With the described technique, capsulefixated IOLs can be implanted in eyes with small pupil easily and safely. This type of IOL has great potential to improve the refractive outcome by better prediction of the postoperative IOL position and eliminating IOL rotation after cataract surgery.

Horner's syndrome (HS) is caused by a disruption in the oculosympathetic pathway. Both congenital and acquired HS are unusual in children. Acquired HS can be caused by trauma, surgical intervention, tumours, vascular malformations or infection.We describe the case of a 6-year-old boy who was brought to our emergency department with ptosis, miosis, painful cervical lymphadenopathy and a cat scratch on a hand. The diagnosis of a cat scratch disease was confirmed by serology. A full recovery was observed on antibiotic treatment and cervical lymphadenomegaly reduction 3 weeks later.

Purpose: To assess the response time associated with visual performance (VP) tasks in the presence of defocus in different presbyopic populations. Methods: 58 eyes between the ages of 35 and 50 years were studied. Subjects were categorized as pre-presbyopic (35-39 years), early-presbyopic (40-45 years), and mid-presbyopic (46-50 years). VP measurements obtained monocularly included distance and near high contrast (HC) and low contrast (LC) optotype recognition, and contrast threshold at 12cpd for different defocus magnitudes between 0D and 3D in 1D steps. Response time defined as the time taken to recognize and verbalize an optotype, was compared among different presbyopic age groups. Results: From 58 eyes, mean (SD) response time for high contrast distance visual acuity for 0D through 3D ranged between 1.48 (0.23) and 1.87 (0.31)s, whereas low contrast distance visual acuity ranged between 1.5 (0.22) and 2.09 (0.49)s. Mean response time for high contrast near visual acuity for 0D through 3D ranged between 1.56 (0.19) and 2.23 (0.45)s. However, for low contrast near visual acuity it ranged between 1.75 (0.32) and 2.71 (0.94)s. Mean (SD) response time for 12cpd ranged between 2.11 (0.50) and 5.72 (1.09)s. ANOVA revealed a significant difference in response time for distance, near visual acuity and contrast sensitivity as a function of defocus for different age groups. Conclusions: Response time is increased in the presence of increasing defocus for both distance and near visual acuity and could impact on performance for critical tasks. Full correction of visual acuity at distance and near in presbyopes is warranted always (AU)
Objetivo: Evaluar el tiempo de respuesta asociado a las tareas del desempeño visual (DV) en presencia de desenfoque, en diferentes poblaciones présbitas. Métodos: Se estudiaron 58 ojos de personas en edades comprendidas entre 35 y 50 años. Se clasificó a los sujetos conforme a las siguientes categorías: pre-presbicia (35-39 años), presbicia temprana (40-45 años), y presbicia media (46-50 años). Las mediciones del desempeño visual obtenidas de forma monocular incluyeron el reconocimiento de optotipos cercanos y lejanos de alto y bajo contraste y el umbral de contraste a 12cpd para las diferentes magnitudes de desenfoque, entre 0D y 3D, a intervalos de 1D. El tiempo de respuesta es el tiempo empleado en reconocer y verbalizar un optotipo, y se comparó entre los diferentes grupos de edad de los individuos présbitas. Resultados: De los 58 ojos, el tiempo de respuesta media (DE) para la agudeza visual de la distancia a alto contraste, entre 0D y 3D, osciló entre 1,48 (0,23) y 1,87 (0,31) segundos, mientras que la agudeza visual de la distancia a bajo contraste osciló entre 1,5 (0,22) y 2,09 (0,49) segundos. El tiempo de respuesta media para la agudeza visual cercana de alto contraste entre 0D y 3D osciló entre 1,56 (0,19) y 2,23 (0,45) segundos. Sin embargo para la agudeza visual cercana de bajo contraste osciló entre 1,75 (0,32) y 2,71 (0,94) segundos. El tiempo de respuesta media (DE) para 12cpd osciló entre 2,11 (0,50) y 5,72 (1,09) segundos. ANOVA reveló una diferencia significativa en cuanto al tiempo de respuesta para la distancia, agudeza visual cercana y sensibilidad de contraste como función del desenfoque para los diferentes grupos de edad. Conclusiones: El tiempo de respuesta se eleva al incrementarse el desenfoque en la agudeza visual lejana y cercana, pudiendo repercutir sobre el desempeño de ciertas tareas esenciales. La corrección plena de la agudeza visual cercana y lejana en individuos présbitas debe de ser siempre garantizada (AU)

PURPOSE: To assess pupil diameter before and after femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) pretreatment and compare the outcomes of three laser platforms. METHODS: This prospective observational case series included consecutive patients scheduled to undergo cataract extraction using FLACS between August 2013 and February 2015. All eyes received FLACS pretreatment using three laser platforms: LenSx (Alcon Laboratories, Inc., Fort Worth, TX), Catalys (Abbott Medical Optics Inc., Santa Ana, CA), and Victus (Bausch & Lomb, Inc., Rochester, NY). The same protocol for preoperative medical mydriasis was used for all patients, and pupil diameter was assessed immediately before and 3 minutes after FLACS using a surgical ruler. RESULTS: A total of 198 eyes of 161 patients were included in the study. Mean pupillary miosis was 1.42 ± 1.26 mm for the LenSx, 0.66 ± 0.89 mm for the Catalys, and 0.14 ± 0.34 mm for the Victus groups. Furthermore, 8 of the 198 eyes (4.0%) demonstrated a pupil diameter of less than 5 mm after FLACS and 48 eyes (24.24%) demonstrated a pupil diameter of 6 mm or less. There was a statistically significant decrease in pupil diameter for all groups individually (P < .05). There was also a statistically significant difference among the three groups (P < .05), with LenSx inducing the highest degree of miosis, followed by Catalys, and finally Victus. A correlation between the pupil diameter before FLACS and degree of FLACS-induced miosis was demonstrated (P < .05), with larger pupil diameter before FLACS associated with greater miosis. CONCLUSIONS: FLACS pretreatment seems to induce significant pupillary miosis with all laser platforms assessed in this study. The decrease in pupil diameter after FLACS reached clinical significance for cataract extraction (< 5 mm) in 4.0% of cases, whereas 20.2% of eyes demonstrated small pupil diameter (≤ 6 mm) after FLACS pretreatment.
