To investigate the prevalence of and risk factors for Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) in postoperative patients. ⋯ The prevalence of VTE in the present study is lower than that in other studies. Because surgery is a risk factor for VTE, patients who will be operated should be assessed. Considering the present results, we can assume that patients' conditions are not being assessed appropriately. In addition, findings indicate that a standard for preventing VTE has not yet been established.

To find the association between breast milk feeding with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in preterm infants. ⋯ Slightly lesser percentage of preterm babies who were breast fed developed retinopathy of prematurity.

To assess the clinical application of multicolor optical coherence tomography (OCT) using confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (cSLO) in different retinal pathologies. ⋯ Multicolor OCT can provide information and figures far more authoritatively than the conventional CFP, which is highly affected by media opacities. To interpret Multicolor OCT ophthalmologists should be watchful with plenty of understanding.
-
To assess the value of endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) for treating great saphenous vein (GSV) incompetence. ⋯ EVLA is a reliable and successful method utilized for the treatment of GSV incompetence. It is concluded that the detection of a thrombus in the GSV tract during the first postoperative follow-up month is an indicator for revascularization.

To evaluate the characteristics, safety and effectiveness of a modified technique of phacoemulsification in post-vitrectomy cataracts. ⋯ The modified technique of phacoemulsification, with phacoemulsification in the anterior chamber, is safe and effective to deal with post-vitrectomy cataracts.
