Interesting case of coronary artery fistula and coronary anomaly resulting in coronary steal with literature review
Coronary artery fistulae are rare and abnormal communications between a coronary artery and a great vessel, which may shunt blood flow away from the myocardial capillary network causing steal phenomenon. We present a 47-year-old man with a unique arteriovenous fistula originating from the proximal portion of the left main coronary artery and entire left anterior descending artery, which then reconstitutes to form a...

Corneal biomechanical characteristics, intraocular pressure and central corneal thickness in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
To evaluate corneal biomechanical properties, intraocular pressure and central corneal thickness in type 2 diabetic patients by Ocular Response Analyzer (ORA), ORA measurements were performed on the 80 eyes of 40 diabetic patients (group I) and 80 eyes of 40 healthy people who served as the control group (group II). Corneal hysteresis (CH), corneal resistance factor (CRF), intraocular pressure (Goldmann correlated...
