Mastering DALK: A Video Textbook on Deep Anterior
Lamellar Keratoplasty (online access included)
There are three types of corneal transplants, depending on how much of the cornea needs replacing: a penetrating keratoplasty (KP) which is a full thickness transplant; a deep anterior
lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) which replaces the outer and middle layers of the cornea; and an endothelial keratoplasty (EK) which replaces the back layers of the cornea.
Lamellar ichthyosis generally occurs at birth with a striking collodion-type membrane covering the body and underlying erythroderma, which then desquamates.
Focal person for the bank Assistant Professor Zaman Shah carries out the latest procedures, including deep anterior
lamellar keratoplasty (DALK), pre-descemet's deep anterior
lamellar keratoplasty and descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) in which the chances of graft rejection are minimal and cornea works for lifetime.
Oral and topical retinoids can be helpful in
lamellar ichthyosis.
Hyperplasia,
lamellar fusion and hypertrophy of pavement cells are some modifications that help prevent chemicals from reaching the bloodstream (Fernandes et al.).
For the diseases of corneal endothelium, which is the most inner layer of the cornea, PKP was replaced with
lamellar endothelial keratoplasty procedures.
Harlequin ichthyosis is a severe variant of autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis resulting from loss-of-function mutations in the ABCA12 gene on chromosome 2q35, a transporter protein responsible for the formation and function of the
lamellar granules.
K2M Group Holdings announced that it will showcase its first-to-market MOJAVE PL 3D Expandable Interbody System featuring
Lamellar 3D Titanium Technology and several of its newest spinal solutions at the North American Spine Society 33rd Annual Meeting, NASS, in Los Angeles, CA, September 26-29.
The lifting of the
lamellar epithelium was observed in all the gills analyzed (100%), followed by
lamellar epithelium hyperplasia (96.9%), excessive proliferation of the filament epithelium cells causing complete fusion of various lamellae (82%) and vascular congestion (60%).
In crescentic
lamellar wedge resection (CLWR), the abnormally thin corneal stroma is removed while sparing the central cornea and the margins of normal-thickness stroma are reapposed.
