Is the frequency of adult strabismus surgery increasing?
Although strabismus surgery is still most commonly performed on children, the data show there has been a significant increase in the number of strabismus operations performed on adults. We speculate that this increase is connected to the growing weight of evidence detailing the functional and psychosocial consequences of strabismus and the benefits of correction. These results have potential implications for the delivery of future care.
Our results indicate that heparin-based HD induces a major sFlt1 release, which may exacerbate the anti-angiogenic state and thus endothelial dysfunction, commonly found in dialysis patients.
