Search Toolbox Highly Sensitive Search Strategy (2005 revision) for finding randomized controlled trials in PubMed. For help with PubMed go to the PubMed Tutorials. MyNCBI tutorials on how to save searches and receive email alerts. PubMed Study Types Search Strategies Includes search strategies for finding cross-sectional studies, cohort studies, longitudinal studies, follow up studies, prospective studies, case control studies, retrospective studies, practice guidelines, case series, systematic reviews, and randomized controlled trials.

Oculoplastic & Orbital Division Immunohistochemistry of the lacrimal apparatus Proliferative markers in basal cell carcinoma Orbital cavernous haemangiomas Bacterial and viral DNA in ocular lymphoma Chromosomal translocations in ocular MALT lymphoma

 

Glaucoma Division Glaucoma and neuroprotection This is a broad search including some recent possible neuroprotective agents

 

Implant Division Aspheric intraocular lenses and contrast sensitivity, aberrometry or acuity Phacotrabeculectomy using phacoemulsification Anterior capsule phimosis and intraocular lenses Astigmatism outcome in intraocular lens implantation using phacoemulsification Corneal aspericity and intraocular lens implantation Risk factors and outcomes in laser in situ keratomileusis or photorefractive keratectomy Dynamic contour tonometry and laser in situ keratomileusis or photorefractive keratectomy in hyperopia or myopia

 

Ophthalmic Research Laboratories Bio-energetic based neuroprotection for glaucoma and retina diseases Because PubMed allows only a limited number of search terms in web link searches I've had to split the search into two sets. Use AND logic to combine the 2 searches below. There is a section of the PubMed tutorial on how to use History to do this. On this tutorial click on the Next arrow to continue. Bio-energetic based neuroprotection Glaucoma or retinal diseases Biomarkers of neuronal injury in retinal damage, or glaucoma Osteopontin in the retina Optic nerve pathology after retinal excitotoxic injury Optic nerve pathology in experimental glaucoma The effect of lasers on trabecular meshwork cells
