Early Postoperative Intraocular Pressure as a Prognostic Factor in Glaucoma Sur...
Viana, Ana Rita; Basto, Rita; Correia Barbosa, Renato; Silva, Alexandre; Bastos, Ricardo; Vale, Carolina; Gonçalves, Rita; Tenedório, PaulaINTRODUCTION: The relationship between early and late postoperative intraocular pres- sure (IOP) after glaucoma surgery remains unclarified. Few published studies have investigated the long-term effects of early IOP after trabeculectomy and nonpenetrating deep sclerectomy, and the existing ones have differing results. This study aims to evaluate the effects of early postoperative IOP after these two procedures ...
Long-Term Results of Nonpenetrating Deep Sclerectomy: Seven Years and 70 Eyes L...
Pereira, Sara; Tenedório, Paula; Gonçalves, Rita; Bastos, Ricardo; Barbosa, RenatoINTRODUCTION: Deep sclerectomy is a nonpenetrating glaucoma surgery that presents as an effective option for open angle glaucoma treatment, with an enhanced safety profile than trabeculectomy. In this study, we present the long-term outcomes of deep sclerectomy in open angle glaucoma patients. METHODS: Retrospective analysis of patients with open angle glaucoma submitted to nonpenetrating deep sclerectomy (NPDS...
Intra-articular injection of culture-expanded mesenchymal stem cells with or wi...
Bastos, Ricardo; Mathias, Marcelo; Andrade, Renato; Amaral, Ronaldo J. F. C.; Schott, Vinicius; Balduino, Alex; Bastos, Raquel; Oliveira, Joaquim M.PURPOSE:To compare the clinical and laboratory outcomes of intra-articular injections of culture-expanded bone-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with or without platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to intra-articular corticosteroid injections for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS:Forty-seven patients with radiographic and symptomatic knee OA were randomized into three groups for intra-articular injec...
Meniscus subluxation retensioning: “autotransplant”
Espregueira-Mendes, João; Andrade, Renato; Silva, Luís; Pereira, Bruno; Sevivas, Nuno; Bastos, RicardoKnee osteoarthritis (OA) is a common condition in the older population and is characterized by several articular dysfunctions with consequent anatomic abnormalities including osteochondral degenerative changes and meniscal extrusion. Meniscal damage with extrusion is one of the strongest identified risk factors for the development and progression of knee OA and represents an important factor in the long-term he...
Selective laser trabeculoplasty in the treatment of glaucoma: from eight to eighty
Gonçalves, Rita; Bastos, Ricardo; Tenedório, Paula; Coelho, Pedro; Maio, Tiago; Moreira, JorgePurpose: To evaluate the efficacy of selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) in eyes with open-angle glaucoma (OAG) in early and advanced stage. Material and methods: Retrospective review of patients treated with SLT in our hospital with a follow-up time of 6 months. SLT was performed in eyes with primary or pseudoexfoliation OAG. Indications for the procedure were insufficient intraocular pressure (IOP) control ...
Tibiofemoral lateral compartment’s morphology as a risk factor: a radiographic ...
Andrade, Renato; Vasta, Sebastiano; Pereira, Rogério; Leal, Ana; Silva, Luís; Saavedra, Cátia; Bastos, Ricardo; Rocha, Rui; Monteiro, AlbertoBackground Tibiofemoral bone morphology has been proposed as a potential risk factor for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture, with recent increasing interest in the lateral femoral condyle. Objective Investigate several tibiofemoral bone morphology measurements as risk factors for rupturing the ACL. Design Retrospective case–control study. Setting Clinical setting. Patients (or Participants) 200 ACL-ruptur...
Meniscal scaffolds in the clinics: present and future trends
Bastos, Ricardo; Andrade, Renato; Pereira, Hélder Filipe Carvalho; Oliveira, J. M.; Reis, R. L.; Rodeo, Scott; Mendes, João EspregueiraDespite the high incidence, meniscal lesions still remain a clinical challenge due to its limited regenerative ability. In the last two decades, the development of scaffolding strategies has revolutionized meniscus treatment possibilities. Along with these new developments, the orthopaedic community has embraced the campaign â preserve the meniscusâ . In this sense, acellular or cellularized scaffolds have emer...
