Item Clinical course of scleritis induced by cataract surgery: a case report.(1994-06-01) Bhattacharjee, H; Dutta, N; Das, KItem Commentary: Pattern of uveitis in a tertiary eye care center of central India: Results of a prospective patient database over a period of two years(All India Ophthalmological Society, 2020-03) Das, D; Biswas, J; Bhattacharjee, HItem Community outreach: An indicator for assessment of prevalence of amblyopia(All India Ophthalmological Society, 2018-07) Magdalene, D; Bhattacharjee, H; Choudhury, M; Multani, PK; Singh, A; Deshmukh, S; Gupta, KPurpose: To study the prevalence, determine the magnitude, and cause of amblyopia among the children aged 6 months to 16 years in Kamrup district, Assam, India. Methods: Among a total of 39,651 children between 6 months and 16 years of age, door-to-door screening was conducted by trained workers. For children above 5 years of age who failed to read the 6/9 line, camps were conducted in the nearby schools. Children below 5 years of age were directly referred to the tertiary eye care institute. After visual acuity assessment at the institute, cycloplegic refraction and complete ophthalmic examination were done to rule out other causes of diminution of vision. Axial length measurement and corneal topography were performed in children with high refractive errors. Results: Of the total 39,651 children screened, 469 were diagnosed to have amblyopia at the camp and 223 were diagnosed at the institute. The prevalence of amblyopia was 1.75%. Amblyopia was more common among the males (52.50%) as compared to females. Maximum number of patients were found in the age group of 11–16 (63.58%). Refractive amblyopia was found to be the most common cause of amblyopia (45.29%). In children below 5 years, deprivation amblyopia and strabismic amblyopia were more common. Conclusion: Awareness of amblyopia among the parents is essential for early detection and treatment of the disease, which will, in turn, reduce the burden of childhood visual impairment.Item Conformationally vicinal thiols of UDP-glucose-4-epimerase from Saccharomyces fragilis: selective roles in maintaining coenzyme fluorescence and activity.(1988-12-01) Bhattacharjee, H; Bhaduri, AItem Dyscrania excessiva with luxatio bulborum (a case report).(1983-03-01) Bhattacharjee, HItem Effect of birth order and parental age on congenital ocular abnormality.(1982-07-01) Dutta, L C; Bhattacharjee, HItem Epicapsular stars(All India Ophthalmological Society, 2018-11) Deshmukh, S; Bhattacharjee, H; Gupta, KItem Evanescent gas-induced reversible lenticular opacity(All India Ophthalmological Society, 2020-01) Bhattacharjee, H; Javeri, HItem A family with rare multiple congenital ocular abnormalities.(1985-03-01) Bhattacharjee, HItem Human ocular thelaziasis caused by gravid Thelazia callipaeda � A unique and rare case report(All India Ophthalmological Society, 2019-02) Sharma, M; Das, D; Bhattacharjee, H; Islam, S; Deori, N; Bharali, G; Tomar, S; Bhola, P; Deka, AAn 80-year-old male reported to the clinic with complaints of diminished vision, foreign body sensation, and occasionally some black object moving in front of the right eye. Detailed ocular examination revealed three slender creamy white live worms in the conjunctival sac of the right eye. Total three worms were retrieved and sent to the pathology department for detailed examination. The worm was identified as gravid Thelazia callipaeda. As per the search results in PubMed and Cochrane search engine, this is the first report of human case of gravid Thelazia infestation with simultaneous existence of embryonated or ensheathed eggs and primary-stage larvae in the same worm.Item Immunohistochemistry on pattern of ocular & adnexal tumours in a tertiary eye care centre of Northeast India(Indian Council of Medical Research, 2018-01) Das, D; Bhattacharjee, H; Deka, A; Deka, P; Serasiya, S; Bhattacharjee, K; Das, JK; Kuri, GC; Pawar, E; Saxena, RKBackground & objectives: Ocular and adnexal tumours are important causes of morbidity in India and globally. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is a vital molecular pathology tool, which helps to diagnose a tumour with more accuracy. The present study was undertaken to document the profile of ocular and adnexal tumour with IHC at a tertiary eye care center in Northeast India. Methods: This was a prospective and laboratory-based study. Histopathological and IHC study of the ocular and adnexal tumour was carried out from 2012 to 2014. Selection of pathological cases was made on the result of the histological diagnosis. All samples were subjected to IHC using kits for different antibodies as per indications. Results: In total, 645 tumours were included in our study, with 449 benign conditions and 196 were malignant tumours. Total IHCs were done in 87 tumours and 238 of antibodies were used. Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (B-cell, low-to-intermediate type and mucosal-associated lymphoid tumours) were the most common tumor. Interpretation & conclusions: Clinical utility of the IHCs in different ophthalmic tumours can enable pathologists to make an accurate diagnosis and thus help in the overall management of the patient care. IHC may be carried out using various methods and some of the methods practiced are time consuming and tedious. In this study, kit methods were used which were found to be simpler and less time-consuming.Item Influence of birth rank and parental age on congenital and colobomatous defects (a clinical investigation).(1984-03-01) Dutta, L C; Bhattacharjee, HItem Influence of heredity on ocular malformation.(1983-07-01) Dutta, L C; Bhattacharjee, HItem Intraocular and neuro-cysticercosis with diffuse stromal choroiditis(Wolters Kluwer - Medknow, 2023-03) Das, D; Bhattacharjee, H; Bhattacharjee, K; Barman, MJ; Islam, S; Das, BC; Deshmukh, S; Deka, A; Chirania, P; Kumari, N.Intraocular cysticercosis with central nervous system involvement is not that rare. We report a male child with a right-sided painful blind eye who had intraocular cysticercosis and granuloma in the left frontal lobe of the brain. There was an incidental finding of chronic inflammation in the choroid of that eye supported by histopathology. Immunohistochemistry for T-cells marker and B-cells marker was variable. The patient was treated with antiparasitic, anti-epileptic medications, and oral steroids subsequently.Item Intraocular lens biofilm formation supported by scanning electron microscopy imaging(All India Ophthalmological Society, 2019-10) Das, D; Bhattacharjee, H; Gogoi, K; Das, JK; Misra, P; Dhir, P; Deka, AItem Keratoma malignum, a skin disorder with ocular lesions.(1984-03-01) Bhattacharjee, HItem Major congenital colobomatous disorders of the globe (in the State of Assam).(1986-01-01) Bhattacharjee, H; Islam, A; Deka, R; Chaudhury, D; Bhuyon, BItem Microbial profile of the vitreous aspirates in culture proven exogenous endophthalmitis: A 10‑year retrospective study.(2016-04) Bhattacharjee, H; Bhattacharjee, K; Gogoi, K; Singh, M; Singla, B G; Yadav, APurpose: To describe the microbiological profile and clinical outcome in the eyes with culture‑proven exogenous endophthalmitis. Methods: A retrospective analysis of 495 eyes diagnosed as exogenous endophthalmitis was performed over a period of 10 years. In all, aseptically collected aqueous and vitreous aspirates were cultured for bacteria and fungus using standard microbiological techniques. Gram‑stain and KOH preparation of the specimens were also performed. The antibiotic susceptibility testing for bacterial isolates was performed by Kirby–Bauer disk diffusion method. The treatment was modified according to the antibiotic sensitivity profile. The final clinical ocular condition was divided into improved, stable or deteriorated. Results: Of 148 culture‑proven endophthalmitis eyes, 137 (92.57%) were referred from elsewhere, and 11 (7.43%) belonged to our institute. Aetiologically, 76 (51.35%) eyes were post‑cataract surgery, 61 (41.22%) were post‑traumatic, 5 (3.38%) eyes post‑intravitreal anti‑vascular endothelial growth factor injection, 5 associated with corneal diseases and 1 bleb‑related endophthalmitis. In 31 (20.95%) eyes, primary intravitreal antibiotics were given outside. The cultures revealed monomicrobial growth in 92.57% (n = 137) and polymicrobial growth in 7.43% (n = 11). Among the bacteria (n = 121, 81.76%), Pseudomonas species dominated overall (n = 32, 27.11%) and post‑operative (n = 26, 38.23%) endophthalmitis group. Staphylococcus epidermidis (n = 14, 28%) was prominent in post‑traumatic endophthalmitis group. Ninety‑two percent (n = 108 isolates) of bacteria were sensitive to vancomycin. In 78 (52.7%) eyes, the clinical ocular condition improved or remained stable while deteriorated in 51 (34.46%). Conclusion: A bacterial predominance was observed among causative organisms of exogenous endophthalmitis with Pseudomonas species being the most common. The appropriate surgical intervention improved or stabilised the visual acuity in nearly 50% eyes.Item Navigation-guided optic canal decompression for traumatic optic neuropathy: Two case reports(All India Ophthalmological Society, 2018-06) Bhattacharjee, K; Serasiya, S; Kapoor, D; Bhattacharjee, HTwo cases of traumatic optic neuropathy presented with profound loss of vision. Both cases received a course of intravenous corticosteroids elsewhere but did not improve. They underwent Navigation guided optic canal decompression via external transcaruncular approach, following which both cases showed visual improvement. Postoperative Visual Evoked Potential and optical coherence technology of Retinal nerve fibre layer showed improvement. These case reports emphasize on the role of stereotactic navigation technology for optic canal decompression in cases of traumatic optic neuropathy.Item Pigmented paravenous retinochoroidal atrophy(All India Ophthalmological Society, 2019-02) Deshmukh, S; Das, D; Deka, H; Bhattacharjee, H; Upadhyay, A; Gupta, K
