Author(s): Alena Furdová,Karolína Kapitánová,Juraj Sekáč / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 1/2019

Introduction: Degenerative changes in the surface of the eye and its adnexa are disease that usually affect both sides (eyes) simultaneously. They appear after the age over forty of life and show signs of so-called "dry eye". These symptoms are particularly pronounced in patients who have epibulbar lesions and cancer in the conjunctiva region. Methods: A group of patients who were treated for dry eye problems while having diagnosed benign or malignant conjunctival tumors (non-melanocyte and melanocyte tumors, papillomas, carcinomas, lymphoma) before and after surgery. Results: A group of 54 patients, mean age 42 years. There were 26 (48%) men and 28 (52%) women. All patients received treatment for "dry eye" problems and had a conjunctival tumor in the epibulbar conjunctiva. Of the total number in 45 (83%) patients were benign tumors and in 9 (17%) patients were malignant tumors after surgery. Indications for treatment for malignant tumor were: recurrent epibulbar carcinoma, dysplastic melanocytic nevus, malignant melanoma of the conjunctiva and epibulbar MALT lymphoma. Conclusion: Tear film function is limited in patients with epibulbar tumors and in patients, who suffer from dry eye syndrome. In addition to lubrication, local administration of cyclosporin A is also used.

Author(s): Peter PAVLASEK,Jan Rybar,Miroslav CHYTIL,Stanislav DURIS,Jozef PALENCAR,Branislav HUCKO / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2019

Introduction: Glaucoma is a major global cause of blindness responsible for significant percentage of all blind people in the world according to the studies of World Health Organization (WHO). As eye pressure measurements are essential for the prevention of this disease it is of great importance to have a reliable and precise measurements of intra ocular pressure (IOP). These measurements can be done by two main approaches: contact method and non-contact methods. Core of Work: In this paper we will be focusing on the non-contact tonometers that have gained a significant popularity in the recent years. Non-contact tonometers are one of the most used IOP measuring devices today. As they are fast, easy to use and provide a better level of comfort to the patient in comparison with a traditional contact eye tonometer devices. Unfortunately these advantages are shadowed by the lack precision and the ability of an independent metrological calibration, which can result in imprecise measurement that will affect the application of treatment. The basic issue for all types of IOP non-contact measuring devices is currently the lack of a universal transfer standard for the purpose of calibration that could be applied to measuring devices from all manufacturers. Conclusion(s): The current inability to deliver traceable measurements has let an international team of researchers from the national metrological institutes (NMIs) to address this issue by an European Union (EU) funded project that deals with this problematic area.

Author(s): Ľuboš MAZÚR,Miroslav FERENČÍK / Language(s): Slovak,English Issue: Suppl./2018

Introduction: The patient enters the perioperative process with certain expectations. Sometimes the expectations are positive - expectation from healing, sometimes it is real fear, stress, catastrophizing that may have a bad impact on the overall perioperative period. Patients' worst concerns include fears of postoperative pain. If we are able to identify patients already preoperatively who experience excessive performance concerns, we are able to help these patients with targeted interventions to help them achieve their satisfaction with the treatment of postoperative pain as much as possible. The aim of our research was to identify the patient's concerns before surgery and to understand the relationship between catastrophizing and satisfaction with the treatment of postoperative pain. Methods and material: 246 patients participated in the study. We made it through questionnaires in two phases. Even before the surgery, patients completed questionnaires where, among other things, they should rate the intensity of their concerns, numerically, on a scale of 1 to 4 points.

Author(s): Alena Furdová,Anna Markova,Pavlína Zahorjanová,A. Kollárová / Language(s): Slovak,English Issue: Suppl./2018

Introduction: After radical surgery or after irradiation of patients, problems with subsequent cosmetic defects in the area of the eye or face are also solved. After treatment, the effects of stress, depression, and personality traits are seen as potential factors contributing to their development. The results of the studies have not yet confirmed the causal relationship between intrapsychiatric variables and oncological diseases, but their influence has been confirmed on the course of the disease and its treatment (Furdová and Oláh, 2010; Furdova and Sramka, 2014; Kaliki and Shields, 2017). Methods and Material: In a group of patients with eye and eye tumors who underwent surgery we monitored localization, type of tumor, range of surgical performance and application of individual prostheses, epithesis. Results: In a group of 118 patients, we indicated the enucleation (removal of the eyeball) in 98 patients, removal of the eyeball with a part of the orbital tissue in 6 patients, and in 6 patients we indicated radical complete exenteration.

Author(s): Gabriel KRÁLIK,Miron Šramka,Alena Furdová / Language(s): Slovak,English Issue: Suppl./2018

Introduction: The single dose SRS is a relatively rare method in treatment of choroidal melanoma. Image fusion of a contrast - enhanced MRI and CT is used for treatment planning coordinates. This treatment is used in a way of single dose SRS with one fraction of 35.0 Gy administered with a spatial accuracy using a collimating system. The team of specialists consists of an ophthalmologist, neurosurgeon, medical physicist and radiation oncologist. All of them are responsible for SRS planning scheme of irradiation. Image fusion of a contrast – enhanced MRI and CT images is used for treatment planning coordinates. Fusion of the images from both imaging techniques is suitable for accurate specifying of anatomical structures and differentiation of gross tumor volume. (Dieckmann et al., 2006; Furdova et al., 2017). Methods and Material: Retrospective study in group of 170 patients with uveal melanoma after single dose stereotactic radiosurgery in Slovakia. Results: In 170 patients group (149 choroidal melanoma, 21 ciliary body melanoma) age of patients ranged from 20 to 92 years with the median 59 years. The number of male was 81 (47.7%) and number of female 89 (52.3%). The median tumor volume at baseline was 0.5 cm3 (with range from 0.2 to 1.6 cm3). The therapeutic dose was 35.0 Gy by 99% of dose volume histogram. In 22 patients (12.9%) secondary enucleation was necessary due to complications (secondary glaucoma). Enucleation free interval ranged from one to six years.

EKTATICKÉ OCHORENIA ROHOVKY A SÚČASNÉ MOŽNOSTI ICH KOREKCIE A LIEČBY

Author(s): Karolína Kapitánová / Language(s): Slovak,English Issue: Suppl./2018

Introduction: Cornea is a transparent eye structure with the greatest refractive power among the eye structures. It´s refractive power represents three quarters of the whole refraction in the human eye. Ectatic corneal diseases are a group of corneal pathologies, which are characterized by progressive corneal thinning and ectasia. This leads to the development of the irregular astigmatism with or without myopisation or other refractive and anatomical changes in the cornea. Corneal ectasias are always bilateral. This fact together with their major negative influence on the patient´s visual acuity means, that corneal ectasia are always serious vision harming diagnoses. Methods: An aim of this work is to emphasize the corneal ectasia as a group of corneal pathologies and to refer about their importance, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis. Keratoconus is the most frequent corneal ectasia present in our conditions. Pellucid marginal degeneration is diagnosed little less frequently and keratoglobus, Terrien´s degeneration or posterior keratoconus are rare.

Author(s): Türker TUĞSAL / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 17/2019

Sense-making is defined as the process by which individuals interpret the events occurring at the level of the subconscious and consciousness and understand what is happening. Although there are many different types of researches in the literature related to sense-making; it is realized that there is not any sense-making measurement tool in the literature and there is a gap that should be filled. The main aim of this study and its contribution to the existing literature is to create an original scale. At the stage of development of the scale, firstly, the related literature was reiterated and based on the information given by Smerek (2009), it was tried to form an item pool by using a 5-point Likert type scaling with 22 items. The surveys were sent to 207 academicians by means of easy sampling method and 104 valid data were collected. Cronbach’s Alpha value, which indicates the reliability of the scale, was found to be high reliability (0.897) and five factors explained the variability of the scale with 66.186% variance. The first contribution of the research to the existing literature is; it is the first scale about sense-making. The second contribution of the research is; sense-making of discourse, action, facts and events as a sign can allow for the estimation and prevention of bad events, such as errors, accidents, chaos, crises which may be in the future by reducing uncertainties. This scale can be useful especially in the fields of behavioral sciences, organizational behavior, management and organization; in addition, it is considered that it can provide benefits in the field of political science and military as well as psychology and communication sciences which are closely related to behavioral sciences.
