Cataract surgery and artificial iris implantation in patient with oculocutaneous albinism: a case report.

We present a case report detailing the successful phacoemulsification surgery with artificial iris implantation for two individuals with oculocutaneous albinism. These women suffered from cataracts, resulting in reduced visual acuity and heightened photophobia due to iris pigmentary epithelium deficiency. The patients underwent phacoemulsification along with prosthetic artificial iris implantation into the posterior chamber. This intervention resulted in improved visual acuity, reduced photophobia and glare, and an overall enhanced quality of life. Our report highlights two cases of successful phacoemulsification and artificial iris implantation in patients with oculocutaneous albinism and cataracts, leading to improved visual acuity, reduced photophobia, and enhanced quality of life. Notably, there are no prior records in South American literature of cataract surgery combined with artificial iris implantation for oculocutaneous albinism patients up to the time of this publication.

Iris neovascularization and neurotrophic keratopathy following ultrasound cycloplasty in refractory glaucoma: case series.

BACKGROUND: Ultrasound cycloplasty is a noninvasive surgery used to reduce intraocular pressure in patients with glaucoma, with fewer severe complications. This report presents several cases of iris neovascularization and neurotrophic keratopathy following ultrasound cycloplasty. CASE PRESENTATION: Six patients diagnosed with refractory glaucoma underwent ultrasound cycloplasty at our clinic. Three cases developed iris neovascularization at postoperative day 3, week 2 and week 4 respectively, with intraocular pressure ranging from 12 to 24 mmHg. The other three cases developed neurotrophic keratopathy at postoperative week 3, week 6 and week 8 which completely healed within 60 days. CONCLUSIONS: Iris neovascularization and neurotrophic keratopathy can be triggered after ultrasound cycloplasty, which are uncommon and self-limited but potentially vision-threatening. Preoperative risk assessment and regular postoperative follow-up are recommended to manage complications effectively.

Couching of cataractous lens in microphthalmic eyes with irido-fundal coloboma: revisiting the historical technique.

PURPOSE: Cataract surgery in microphthalmic eyes is challenging due to anatomical restraints, hard bulky nucleus. This series aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of couching of intraocular lens in irido-fundal coloboma with microphthalmos. SETTING: Tertiary care centre in South India. DESIGN: Retrospective non-comparative study in eyes with irido-fundal coloboma, corneal diameter < 7 mm and brown cataract. Visual acuity less than 6/60 in other eye. METHODS: Anterior chamber entry made, zonules broken and lens dislocated into the vitreous cavity in a controlled manner. Baseline Clinico-demographic details, corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), Intra-ocular pressure (IOP), corneal diameter, axial length, lens status and post-surgery CDVA, IOP and complications recorded and followed up for atleast 6 months. RESULTS: Fifteen eyes of 15 subjects were evaluated with a mean age 49.4 ± 10.9 years. At baseline, mean IOP 14.5 ± 3.8 mmHg, mean axial length 19.3 ± 0.5 mm, mean corneal diameter was 6.5 ± 0.34 mm and CDVA 2 logMAR which improved to 1.5 logMAR at 3 months (p value 0.002). Transient spike in IOP in 33.3% subjects was medically managed with no significant difference in IOP (p > 0.05) at baseline (14.5 ± 3.8 mmHg), 3 months post-surgery (16 ± 2.8 mmHg) and 6 months post-surgery (14.9 ± 2.5 mmHg). One patient underwent re-couching. No other major complications were noted. CONCLUSION: Couching of cataractous lens is an effective and safe method in microphthalmic eyes with irido-fundal coloboma as last resort procedure, where no other surgical procedure may work. It provides an ambulatory gain of visual acuity in previously non-ambulatory subjects. Corneal measurements help in determining the subset of patients where couching offers viable option.

Retropupillary Iris-fixated versus Sutured Scleral-fixated Intraocular Lenses.

Aim: To compare the anatomical and functional results and patient satisfaction following retropupillary implantation of Artisan Aphakia iris-fixated intraocular lens (rAAIF) and sutured scleral fixated intraocular lens (SFIOL). Subjects and methods: We presented a prospective double-arm non-blinded study. Forty-one eyes with acquired aphakia, no age-related macular degeneration, no previous keratoplasty, no combined procedures, no AC reaction (cells, fibrin), normal intraocular pressure, no history of endothelial corneal dystrophy in relatives or fellow eye were included. Indications, complications, corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), endothelial cell density (ECD), and patient satisfaction score were assessed. Results: Retropupillary AAIF was implanted in 21 (51.22%) eyes and SFIOL in 20 (48.78%) eyes. The most common indication was complicated cataract surgery in 18 cases (43.90%), followed by trauma in 16 (39.02%), and spontaneous dislocation in 7 (17.07%). No difference between rAAIF and SFIOL in terms of sex, laterality (χ=0.13, p=0.72), indications (χ=0.78, p=0.68), previous ocular history, and comorbidities was observed. The complications and the visual outcomes at 6 months postoperatively were similar between the two groups (p=0.95 and p=0.321, respectively). The ECD loss in the two groups was also similar (p=0.89). The patient satisfaction score was 58.67±8.80 in the rAAIF and 56.69±11.50 in the SFIOL group, which was statistically similar (p=0.764). Conclusion: Retropupillary AAIF and SFIOL showed similar results concerning visual acuity, endothelial cell loss, and patient satisfaction. Careful preoperative individual assessment is required to have optimal results with either technique. Abbreviations: AAIF = Artisan Aphakia iris-fixated intraocular lens, rAAIF = retropupillary Artisan Aphakia iris-fixated intraocular lens, CDVA = corrected distance visual acuity, ECD = endothelial cell density, IOL = intraocular lens, SD = standard deviation, SFIOL = scleral fixated intraocular lens.

Bilateral total iris atrophy, corneal decompensation and glaucoma following bilateral cosmetic artificial iris implantation: A case report of severe sequela and successful management.

PURPOSE: Cosmetic iris implants have a record of high ocular complications and are no longer in use. These complications include glaucoma, corneal decompensation, iris atrophy, uveitis, cataract and retinal detachment. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of a 44-year-old lady presented with bilateral total iris atrophy, glaucoma and corneal decompensation after cosmetic artificial iris implantation. The patient underwent bilateral artificial iris removal, glaucoma drainage device for the right eye, and micropulse laser for the left eye. In addition, she underwent phacoemulsification with iris-diaphragm intraocular lens implant for the right. The cornea of the right eye ended up with successful Boston keratoprosthesis after rejection of previous 2 grafts. CONCLUSIONS: To the best of our knowledge, we describe the first report of bilateral total iris atrophy following a cosmetic iris implant accompanied by bilateral glaucoma and corneal decompensation.

Lensectomy as treatment for refractory or progressive retinopathy of prematurity narrow-angle glaucoma.

We present the case of a patient with a history of laser-treated retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) who developed narrow angles and intermittent angle closure. Despite laser peripheral iridotomy/iridoplasty, 1 year later, the patient had recurrent narrowing that resolved following clear lens extraction with intraocular lens placement. This case highlights the importance of continued monitoring for narrow angles in patients with ROP history.

Long-Term Efficacy of Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty in Primary Angle-Closure Disease After Laser Peripheral Iridotomy.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the long-term efficacy of selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) in eyes with primary angle-closure (PAC) and primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) following a laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI). METHOD: In this prospective cross-sectional study, 45 eyes of 34 patients with PAC/PACG diagnosis, uncontrolled intraocular pressure (IOP), and visible pigmented trabecular-meshwork (TM) at least 180° on gonioscopy following a LPI were recruited. Following a detailed baseline ophthalmic evaluation, all eligible eyes underwent SLT, and the patients were examined on day1, at 1 week, 1-, 3-, and 6-months, and 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, and 5-year subsequently. The main outcomes measured were IOP, number of IOP-lowering agents, and complications. RESULTS: The mean age of the cohort was 57.80 ± 6.44 years, the male-female ratio was 8:26, and 17 eyes were PACG, and 28 were PAC. The baseline IOP was 23.81 ± 1.78 mm Hg, and was significantly declined at all follow-ups (p < .0001). The cumulative probability of overall success was 91% and 84% at 2-, and 5-year, respectively. At 5-year SLT provided drug-freedom in 80% of PAC and 23% of PACG eyes. Six eyes had IOP spike at 1-week and two patients underwent repeat SLT after 1-year. No other complications, such as pain/discomfort, inflammation, an increase in peripheral anterior synechiae and cystoid-macular-edema, were noted. CONCLUSIONS: SLT appears a safe and cost-effective procedure in PAC/mild- moderate PACG eyes with uncontrolled IOP after laser iridotomy. The long-term effectiveness of SLT as adjuvant treatment was good, but need large sized randomized studies for more validation.

Direct observation and measurement of circumlental space and its relation to anterior chamber angle characteristics in iridotomized phakic eyes with primary angle closure disease.

Primary angle closure disease (PACD) is a major cause of blindness worldwide. It has a high prevalence in East Asia, especially in China, which leads to a higher incidence of blindness than open-angle glaucoma. The aim of this study was to directly observe the circumlental space (CLS) in laser peripheral iridotomized eyes with PACD and to determine whether this structure plays a role in the pathogenesis of PACD. Fifty eyes of 50 patients with PACD, who had received laser peripheral iridotomy performed with neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet were recruited from glaucoma clinics from March 2021 to May 2022, including 17 primary angle closure suspect (PACS), 16 primary angle closure (PAC) and 17 primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG). They were classified into two groups based on whether the ciliary process and the crystalline lens equator were in contact using slit-lamp photograph: the attached group and the unattached group. The demographic, clinical characteristics and anterior segment parameters measured from ultrasound biomicroscopy were compared between the attached group and the unattached group. Thirty-three eyes were assigned to the attached group and 17 eyes belonged to the unattached group. In the unattached group, the mean CLS was 0.10 ± 0.07 mm. No significant differences were identified between the different diagnosis groups in age, sex, best-corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure, white-to-white, axial length, central corneal thickness, anterior chamber depth, flat keratometry, steep keratometry or iridotomy diameter (p > 0.05). The unattached group had shorter trabecular-ciliary process distance (p = 0.021) and larger ciliary process area (p = 0.001) compared with the attached group. Small CLS and its potential effect (partial ciliary block) might be considered as one of the mechanisms of PACD.

A case of iridoschisis with partial lens dislocation in both eyes.

BACKGROUND: Iridoschisis is a rare condition that primarily affects individuals aged 60-70 years. The predominant characteristics of iridoschisis involve the tissue splitting and separation of the iris stromal layers, often resulting in two distinct layers and the presence of floating fibers in the anterior chamber. This article reports the case of a 48-year-old male with iridoschisis with partial lens dislocation in both eyes. CASE PRESENTATION: Trauma is the leading factor in the development of iridoschisis. However, there is no documented case of ocular trauma in the patient's medical history. Visible white atrophic fibers were observed bilaterally in the anterior iris stroma of both eyes of the individual, accompanied by a small quantity of iris tissue within the anterior chamber. In this instance, the magnitude of the iridoschisis corresponded with the degree of lens dislocation. We were apprised that the patient had regularly used a cervical massager for a prolonged period of time, positioning it upon the ocular region. Frequent stimulation of both eyes with excessive force resulted in the development of iridoschisis and the partial dislocation of the lens.During the initial surgical procedure, phacoemulsification (Phaco) was carried out on the left eye without the placement of an intraocular lens (IOL). Following a two-month interval, we proceeded with the IOL suspension. Subsequently, the right eye underwent Phaco, accompanied by the implantation of an IOL. After closely monitoring the patient's progress for two months, it was evident that their vision had significantly improved, substantiating the success of the surgical interventions. CONCLUSIONS: This finding posits that the recurrent friction applied to both eyes may induce iridoschisis and various ocular complications. In the event of ocular intricacies manifesting, expeditious medical intervention becomes imperative.

Comparison of cosmesis, mydriasis, fundus visibility, and anterior chamber depth following single-pass four-throw pupilloplasty in congenital and traumatic iris defects.

PURPOSE: To compare postoperative cosmesis, mydriasis, fundus visibility, and anterior chamber depth (ACD) in congenital and traumatic iris defects after single-pass four-throw pupilloplasty (SFTP). SETTINGS AND DESIGN: Hospital-based non-randomized interventional study. METHODS: SFTP was done along with phacoemulsification in six patients each with congenital and traumatic iris defects, and the patients were followed for a minimum period of 3 months. The postoperative pupil shape, size, mydriasis, and ACD were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: Tissue approximation was successful in 11 out of 12 patients (91.7%), whereas it failed to do so in one patient with traumatic iris tear (8.3%). A central round pupil was attained in all six patients with congenital defects (group 1), whereas in the traumatic group (group 2), a central round pupil was attained in four cases. Group 1 did not show a significant reduction in horizontal pupil diameter, but group 2 had a significant reduction in pupil diameter postoperatively. Mydriasis and fundus visibility were satisfactory in all cases. There was a significant deepening of ACD in both groups. CONCLUSION: Traumatic mydriasis usually requires SFTP at two opposite poles to achieve a central pupil with a significant reduction in pupil size, whereas congenital coloboma requires SFTP to be done at the site of coloboma with occasional enlargement at the opposite pole if the pupil is eccentric.

Reverse 4-Throw Pupilloplasty for Endothelial Keratoplasty.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to describe the feasibility and applicability of a reverse 4-throw (RFT) pupilloplasty technique for endothelial keratoplasty. METHODS: In RFT, the 9-0 polypropylene suture needle and a 26-Gauge needle pierce the iris tissue from the posterior surface to emerge on the anterior surface along the proximal and distal portion of iris tissue to be apposed, respectively. The 9-0 needle is threaded into the barrel of a 26-Gauge needle and is withdrawn from the eye. The suture loop is withdrawn and the suture end is passed through the loop 4 times. Both suture ends are pulled, which leads to the sliding of the loop inside the eye, thereby apposing the iris tissue with the knot lying on the posterior surface. RESULTS: The procedure was performed in 11 eyes of 11 patients who were scheduled to undergo an endothelial keratoplasty procedure. The anterior segment optical coherence tomography image of the RFT pupilloplasty did not denote any presence of the suture in the anterior chamber or along the anterior surface of the iris plane. No incidence of primary graft failure or graft rejection during the entire follow-up period was reported in any of the eyes. CONCLUSIONS: RFT serves as an effective technique for performing pupilloplasty in endothelial keratoplasty cases without the presence of a knot or suture tail in the anterior chamber.

Long anterior zonule trait, lessons learned about an uncommon form of secondary angle closure: a case report.

A 62-year-old black woman with uncontrolled chronic narrow-angle glaucoma on 3-drug therapy underwent phaco-non-perforating deep sclerectomy of her left eye. During surgery it was revealed that she had long zonule trait. She later required goniopuncture and conjuntival needling, presenting an iris herniation in the goniopuncture that could be reduced conservatively. Long anterior zonule trait should be suspected in those patients presenting with a combination of narrow angle and pigment dispersion syndrome. The management of ocular hypertension and glaucoma associated to this trait is not protocolized. This communication discusses on the best action in this rare form of glaucoma.

Practice Patterns and Sociodemographic Disparities in the Clinical Care of Anatomical Narrow Angles in the United States.

PURPOSE: To assess treatment and visit patterns among patients with newly diagnosed anatomical narrow angle (ANA) and identify sociodemographic factors associated with disparities in care. DESIGN: Retrospective practice pattern evaluation study. METHODS: A total of 263,422 patients diagnosed with ANA between 2007 and 2019 were identified in the Optum Clinformatics Data Mart. Inclusion was limited to newly diagnosed ANA, defined as (1) continuous enrollment during a 2-year lookback period and 1-year study period from first diagnosis; (2) diagnosis by an ophthalmologist or optometrist; and (3) no history of pseudophakia, ANA treatments, or prior primary angle closure glaucoma diagnosis. Outcome measures were treatment with laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI), cataract surgery, or intraocular pressure-lowering medications and number of eye care visits. Logistic and Poisson regression were performed to assess factors associated with treatment and eye care visits, respectively. RESULTS: Among 52,405 eligible cases, 27.7% received LPI, 13.9% received drops, and 15.1% received cataract surgery. Odds of LPI were higher in Asians and Hispanics (odds ratio [OR] ≥ 1.16, P < .001). Non-Whites had higher odds of drops (OR ≥ 1.19, P < .001), but Hispanics had lower odds of cataract surgery (OR = 0.79, P < .001). The mean number of eye care visits was 2.6±2.1 including the day of diagnosis. Older age and treatment were associated with higher rates of eye care visits (rate ratio > 1.15, P < .001). CONCLUSION: More than a quarter of patients with newly diagnosed ANA receive treatment with LPI. Racial minorities are more likely to receive ANA-specific treatments but less likely to receive cataract surgery. These differences may reflect racial differences in disease severity and the need for clearer practice guidelines in ANA care.

Surgical approach to and morphology of visually significant persistent pupillary membranes.

PURPOSE: To characterize the morphology of persistent pupillary membranes (PPMs) in pediatric patients and explore the corresponding surgical approaches. SETTING: Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, China. DESIGN: Prospective observational study. METHODS: Consecutive pediatric patients with PPMs who underwent surgery from April 2020 to July 2022 were included. PPM morphology was assessed and categorized according to its anatomic relationship with crystalline lens and distribution of iris strands. The surgical approaches for different morphologies of PPMs were described in detail. The visual outcome and operation-related complications were recorded. RESULTS: 31 eyes from 19 patients were included with the mean age of 7.2 years. 3 morphological variants of PPMs were observed: type I (51.6%, 16/31), a spider-like appearance and no adhesion to the anterior lens capsule (ALC); type II (38.7%, 12/31), a loose central adherence to the ALC and partially thick iris strands attached to the iris collarette; type III (9.7%, 3/31), a tight central adherence to the ALC and only silk-like iris strands. Surgeries were performed with a natural pupil size in type I, while dilated pupil in the other types. The adhesions between PPM and the ALC were separated by viscoelastic injection in type II and by discission needles in type III. The corrected distance visual acuity was significantly improved from 0.34 ± 0.18 logMAR preoperatively to 0.17 ± 0.09 logMAR postoperatively ( P < .001). No operation-related complications were observed during 9.5-month follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: PPMs were categorized into 3 types according to their different morphologies, which helped to determine the best surgical strategy.

Long-term outcomes of iris-sutured subluxated intraocular lenses.

PURPOSE: This study evaluated the long-term outcomes of managing posterior chamber intra-ocular lens (IOL) (PCIOL) subluxation through pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with IOL iris suturing. SETTINGS AND DESIGN: Retrospective chart review. METHODS: Patients who underwent PPV with iris-sutured IOL (IS-IOL) for IOL subluxation between January 2008 and April 2021 at a tertiary center with a minimum of 6 months of follow-up were included. The patients were divided into two groups: those who had prior PPV and those who had not undergone the procedure. RESULTS: A total of 54 patients underwent iris suturing of a subluxated IOL. Among them, 36 (66%) had previously undergone PPV, while 18 patients (33%) had not. The etiology of PCIOL subluxation was uncertain in 20 (37.0%), prior PPV in 17 (32%), and following complicated cataract surgery in 11 (20%) cases. The mean time between original IOL insertion and IS-IOL was 6.1 ± 7.0 years. The mean follow-up duration was 46.8 ± 39.7 months. The mean post-operative best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was logMAR 0.43 ± 0.52 at final follow-up, a significant improvement from pre-operative BCVA. Vision was significantly better in the group with no prior PPV (logMAR 0.54 ± 0.59 vs. 0.21 ± 0.23 at final follow-up, P = 0.026). At final follow-up, 34 (63%) eyes had BCVA of 20/40 or better. The most common complication was cystoid macular edema, attributed to the IS-IOL in 13 (21.4%) eyes, 11 (68.6%) of which resolved or improved. CONCLUSIONS: The management of posterior chamber IOL subluxations with PPV and iris suturing of the subluxated IOL is a safe technique that provides excellent long-term visual outcomes.

Sutureless intrascleral intraocular lens fixation and modified iris cerclage pupilloplasty for aphakia and traumatic mydriasis.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of sutureless intrascleral intraocular lens (IOL) fixation combined with modified iris cerclage pupilloplasty for treating aphakia and traumatic mydriasis. METHODS: Five patients with aphakia and traumatic mydriasis were operated on by the same surgeon. All patients underwent sutureless intrascleral IOL fixation combined with modified iris cerclage pupilloplasty and were followed up for ≥6 months. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was measured using the logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR). BCVA, intraocular pressure (IOP), pupil diameter, and corneal endothelial cell count (CECC) preoperatively and postoperatively were statistically analyzed. The pupil shape, photophobia, IOL position, and surgical complications were evaluated. RESULTS: The mean BCVA was significantly improved 6 months postoperatively (0.26 ± 0.17 logMAR, P = 0.042) than preoperatively (0.50 ± 0.30 logMAR). No significant difference was observed between the preoperative and postoperative IOP (P = 0.138). The mean pupil diameter significantly reduced postoperatively than preoperatively (3.44 ± 0.35 mm vs. 7.28 ± 0.35 mm, P = 0.043). There was no significant decrease in CECC postoperatively (P = 0.225). The pupil shape was round-like, and photophobia disappeared in all patients. No intraoperative or postoperative complications occurred. CONCLUSION: Sutureless intrascleral IOL fixation combined with modified iris cerclage pupilloplasty is a safe and efficient procedure for treating aphakia traumatic mydriasis patients without sufficient capsular support.

Attaining the optimal flange technique for transscleral capsular bag stabilization using iris hooks.

PURPOSE: To investigate the flange properties of different iris hooks. SETTING: Vienna Institute for Research in Ocular Surgery (VIROS), Hanusch Hospital, Vienna, Austria. DESIGN: Laboratory study. METHODS: The flanging properties of 4 different iris hooks made from polypropylene (PP), elastic polymer (EP), and nylon were investigated with different heating distances and both with and without forceps gripping. The maximum diameter of the flanges was measured, and the shape of the flanges was evaluated. RESULTS: Although both nylon and EP iris hooks had too small flange diameters for intrascleral fixation, PP iris hooks had a sufficient flange diameter (>330 µm) and mushroom-like shape. Furthermore, in PP hooks, heating distance was directly proportional to flange diameter. CONCLUSIONS: The findings of this study suggest that only PP iris hooks are suitable for flanged intrascleral fixation, which is off-label, to secure adequate fixation.

Microscopic analysis of preinsertion cutting modalities on custom, flexible iris prostheses.

PURPOSE: To determine the induced edge effects of different clinically used device postmanufacture modification styles and modalities on custom iris implants. SETTINGS: An academically affiliated multispecialty private practice group and an academic medical center. DESIGN: Laboratory study. METHODS: Sample custom iris prostheses were cut using patterns, blades, and surgical instruments described in the literature. The cut edges were evaluated with slitlamp microscopy, light microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. RESULTS: Disposable blades yielded smoother cuts than scissors. Trephine blade brand significantly affected the cut surface smoothness of the silicone matrix. Meshwork-embedded prostheses had some irregular sharp edges where the mesh fibers were cut with all modalities, although these were worse with scissors and one tested trephine brand compared with the other. Pseudoiridectomies and scissor cuts created sharp points and corners in the device periphery. CONCLUSIONS: Postmanufacture modifications of iris implants should be minimized. The cut margins of the fiber-free implants have fewer sharp edges and may be preferable for sulcus placement. In-the-bag device placement may mitigate clinical impact of sharp edges and corners. These practices may help to minimize inflammatory sequelae postimplantation.

Custom Iris Prosthesis for Subtotal Traumatic Aniridia From Combat Ocular Trauma.

Traumatic aniridia from combat ocular trauma can cause visual disability. A 41-year-old male Army Veteran was referred for evaluation of light sensitivity and glare secondary to subtotal traumatic aniridia of his left eye from an improvised explosive device blast. A custom-made artificial iris prosthesis was implanted in the ciliary sulcus and secured using Gore-Tex sutures. After surgery, the patient reported improvement of his light sensitivity and quality of life. The custom iris prosthesis is a surgical option for visual disability resulting from traumatic aniridia from combat ocular trauma.
