Despite increasing clinical adoption, comprehensive analysis of femto-DALK advantages over conventional techniques requires further investigation. We conducted a retrospective analysis of 12 patients aged 18-42 years with stage III keratoconus who underwent femto-DALK between 2023-2024. Primary outcome measures included visual acuity, refractive outcomes, keratotopographic parameters, and healing characteristics. Best-corrected visual acuity of 0.6 or better was achieved in 66.67% of patients at 12 months post-operatively, with mean postoperative astigmatism of 2.1±0.9 D. Tissue interface precision was characterized by predictable residual stromal thickness of 15.6±5.3 um. Big-bubble formation was successful in 91.7% of cases, with conversion to penetrating keratoplasty required in only 8.3% of procedures. Postoperative complications were minimal, with complete anatomical apposition of Descemet's membrane confirmed by OCT in all cases. Femto-DALK demonstrates significant advantages in tissue interface precision and accelerated wound healing compared to conventional keratoplasty techniques, confirming high efficacy in achieving stable visual and refractive outcomes with enhanced surgical predictability.</p> 2025-06-24T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 https://www.journals.tma.uz/index.php/cajm/article/view/1430 ANALYSIS OF THE USE OF THE DRAINAGE IMPLANT HEALAFLOW IN SURGERY FOR PRIMARY OPEN-ANGLE GLAUCOMA 2025-06-24T15:41:48+00:00 Abdurakhimova F.K. djmak96@gmail.com <p>Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is a progressive optical neuropathy characterized by specific structural changes of the optic disc and visual field defects.

A total of 358 patients were included and divided into AF (n=115) and SR (n=243) groups. Comprehensive assessments of clinical characteristics, echocardiographic parameters, and the incidence of adverse cardiovascular events as well as survival using the Kaplan–Meier method were performed. The results demonstrated that BMV effectively improved hemodynamic parameters in both groups, significantly increasing mitral valve area and reducing the transmitral gradient. However, patients with AF were older, exhibited more pronounced left atrial dilation, and had reduced left ventricular systolic function. Clinical outcomes in this group were less favorable, with higher mortality rates (19.1% vs. 0% in the SR group), increased hospitalizations, and complications. Event-free survival remained stable in the SR group throughout the follow-up period, whereas a significant decline was observed in the AF group. These findings emphasize the importance of early BMV intervention in patients with sinus rhythm to prevent the development of atrial fibrillation and improve prognosis. Patients with AF require prolonged follow-up and a comprehensive therapeutic approach to reduce the risk of adverse outcomes. The results are critical for optimizing the management strategy of rheumatic mitral stenosis, taking into account the arrhythmic status of the patient.</p> 2025-06-24T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 https://www.journals.tma.uz/index.php/cajm/article/view/1441 LIVER MORPHOGENESIS IN FIRST-GENERATION RATS BORN TO FEMALES WITH INDUCED DIABETES MELLITUS DURING EARLY POSTNATAL ONTOGENESIS 2025-06-24T16:16:19+00:00 Azizova F.Kh., Ubaydullayeva M.A. djmak96@gmail.com <p>Background: The liver plays a critical role in metabolism, detoxification, hematopoiesis, and immune defense. The impact of maternal diabetes mellitus on liver histogenesis during early postnatal ontogenesis remains insufficiently studied, despite the increasing prevalence of diabetes among women of reproductive age and data indicating its effect on the development of fetal parenchymal organs. Methods: The experimental study was conducted on 50 white outbred female rats (25 control, 25 experimental) with diabetes induced by a single intraperitoneal injection of alloxan (13 mg/100 g). Offspring (n=253) were examined on postnatal days 3, 7, 14, 21, and 30. Histological liver examination was performed using hematoxylin and eosin staining, and morphometric analysis was carried out with QuPath 0.5.1 software. Parameters assessed included lobule area and diameter, hepatocyte and nuclear dimensions, mitotic count, nuclear-cytoplasmic ratio, and fibrotic changes. Results: In the control group, liver tissue demonstrated progressive formation of beam and vascular architecture, bile duct maturation, and a reduction in mitotic activity by day 30. The experimental group exhibited disorganized beam structure, persistent cytoplasmic vacuolization in hepatocytes, delayed development of portal tracts, and increased numbers of mitoses and binuclear cells. Morphometry showed significantly larger lobule and hepatocyte dimensions and moderate collagen accumulation in portal areas (p&lt;0.001). Conclusion: Maternal diabetes mellitus has a significant negative effect on liver morphogenesis in offspring during early postnatal ontogenesis, manifested by delayed differentiation, architectural disorganization, and early signs of fibrosis.</p> 2025-06-24T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 https://www.journals.tma.uz/index.php/cajm/article/view/1442 REVIEW OF LITERATURE ON THE SPECIFICITY OF GENERAL PATHOMORPHOLOGICAL CHANGES IN SATELLITE STRUCTURES UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF CORONAVIRUS 2025-06-24T16:18:16+00:00 Rasulov H.A. djmak96@gmail.com Beknazarov Kh.J. djmak96@gmail.com Mavlonov U.O. djmak96@gmail.com <p>Viral infections observed during pregnancy can have a specific impact on the body, leading to various negative outcomes at different stages of pregnancy.
