Item A case control study of senile cataract in a hospital based population.(1996-12-01) Badrinath, S S; Sharma, T; Biswas, J; Srinivas, VA case-control study (244 cases and 264 controls) was done during 1986-89 on a hospital based population to evaluate the risk factors associated with the etiology of senile cataract. Patient with age between 40-60 years, visual acuity of 6/9 or less, and presence of lenticular opacity of senile origin were included as cases. Age matched individuals with absence of lenticular opacity made up the controls. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that higher systolic BP and number of meals were significantly (P < or = 0.05) associated with presence of senile cataract; whereas higher weight, education and income, and utilization of cooking water had a significant protective effect against senile cataract. The present study helps the clinician to understand the possible risk factors associated with the development of senile cataract and could be helpful in designing a intervention strategy in future.Item Cataract extraction after retinal detachment surgery.(1981-12-01) Tatapudi, S; Abraham, M N; Badrinath, S SItem Central retinal vein occlusion.(1984-11-01) Natarajan, M; Abraham, C; Badrinath, S SItem Central serous chorioretinopathy.(1978-01-01) Badrinath, S S; Baig, S HItem Clinical features and virologic studies in viral retinitis.(1995-06-01) Biswas, J; Madhavan, H N; Gopal, L; Badrinath, S SViral retinitis is an important infectious disease of the retina which can occur in both healthy and immunocompromized or immunodeficient individuals. The clinical picture and the role of laboratory studies in diagnosis of viral retinitis are still not well-defined. We correlated the clinical picture and virologic study in the serum and vitreous specimens by Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA), rapid immunofluorescence technique and culture in five clinically suspected patients of viral retinitis. None of the patients had any evidence of systemic viral infections. In four patients, the virus was detected by immunofluorescence, ELISA or culture from the vitreous sample. Paired serum samples showed elevation of antiviral IgG titre in two cases and high antiviral IgM titre in all cases. Our study evaluated the role of virological investigations of vitreous aspirate and rising antibody titre in the paired serum samples in the diagnosis of active viral retinitis.Item Cystoid macular oedema.(1984-11-01) Natarajan, M; Abraham, C; Badrinath, S SItem Disposable drapes used in ocular surgery.(1983-09-01) Surendran, T S; Bhaskaran, S; Badrinath, S SItem Endophthalmitis caused by anaerobic bacteria.(1995-12-01) Sharma, T; Gopal, L; Parikh, S; Badrinath, S S; Madhavan, H N; Mukesh, B NA retrospective analysis of 22 patients who underwent pars plana vitrectomy for endophthalmitis and had culture-proven anaerobic bacteria, was done. Elimination of infection with attached retina and recovery of ambulatory vision > or = 2/60 were considered as anatomic success and functional success, respectively. Mean follow-up period was 12.7 months (range, 2 to 48 months). Anatomic success was attained in 14 (63.6%) eyes and functional success in 12 (54.6%) eyes. A poor preoperative visual acuity was found to be associated with poor functional outcome (p < 0.046). In endophthalmitis, a routine anaerobic culture of intraocular specimen is recommended.Item Epiretinal membranes.(1983-05-01) Abraham, M N; Badrinath, S SItem Management of giant retinal breaks.(1987-03-01) Badrinath, S S; Natarajan, S; Gopal, LA retrospective study involving 40 eyes of 40 patients with giant retinal break is presented. A comparison is attempted between cases where silicone oil is used and in cases where it was not used. The final success rate was found to be same in the two groups on long term follow-up.Item Medical records in specialty hospitals.(1982-07-01) Bhat, C R; Abraham, C; Badrinath, S SItem Ocular lesions in AIDS: a report of first two cases in India.(1995-06-01) Biswas, J; Madhavan, H N; Badrinath, S SAlthough 444 cases of AIDS have been officially registered till July 1993 from various parts of India, ocular lesions in these cases have not been reported. Till May 1994, ELISA test for HIV 1 and HIV 2 had been done in 12 cases of suspicious ocular lesions which include viral retinitis, endogenous endopthalmitis and active chorioretinitis. Two patients had seropositivity for HIV 1. Ocular lesions include subretinal yellow mass in the first case and cytomegalovirus retinitis and cotton-wool spots in the second case. These two patients also had several systemic infections which include tuberculosis in both and nocardia in one. To the best of our knowledge, these two cases are the first report of ocular lesions in AIDS from India.Item Pars plana lensectomy using ultrasonic fragmentation.(1983-09-01) Abraham, M N; Kulkarni, M; Badrinath, S SItem Pars plana lensectomy--a detailed study.(1984-11-01) Kantha, R; Badrinath, S S; Abraham, C; Abraham, M; Kulkarni, MItem Pars plana surgery.(1982-09-01) Badrinath, S SItem pH-adjusted periocular anaesthesia for primary vitreoretinal surgery.(1999-12-13) Sharma, T; Gopal, L; Parikh, S; Shanmugam, M P; Saha, S K; Sulochana, K R; Shetty, N S; Mukesh, B N; Badrinath, S SPURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy of pH-adjusted bupivacaine in conjunction with medial orbital periconal block (periocular anaesthesia). METHODS: Sixty consecutive patients undergoing primary vitreoretinal surgery were enrolled prospectively. RESULTS: Adequate anaesthesia and akinesia with no intraoperative supplementation was achieved in 53 eyes (88.3%). Factors influencing intraoperative supplementation were combined vitrectomy with scleral buckling (p = 0.005) and duration of surgery of more than 2 hours (p = 0.001). No ocular or systemic complication resulted. CONCLUSION: pH-adjusted periocular anaesthesia is safe and effective in patients undergoing primary vitreoretinal surgery.Item Removal of dislocated lens material from the posterior segment.(1983-01-01) Doshi, H; Badrinath, S SItem Retinal detachment after cataract extraction.(1981-12-01) Abraham, M N; Tatapudi, S; Badrinath, S SItem Retinal detachment secondary to ocular perforation during retrobulbar anaesthesia.(1995-03-01) Gopal, L; Badrinath, S S; Parikh, S; Chawla, GThe clinical characteristics and the retinal breaks associated with rhegmatogenous retinal detachments secondary to accidental globe perforation during local infiltration anaesthesia in five highly myopic eyes are presented. Retinal detachment was total with variable proliferative vitreoretinopathy. The pattern of retinal breaks was rather typical and predictable. Management involved vitreous surgery with internal tamponade by silicone oil in four eyes and perfluoropropane gas in one eye. At the last follow-up, all eyes had attached retina. One eye did not recover useful vision due to possible concurrent optic nerve damage.Item Retinal tears and detachment after pars plana surgery.(1983-05-01) Honnatti, M R; Chakrabarti, S; Badrinath, S S
