Same-size donor corneas for myopic keratoconus.
OBJECTIVE To determine the efficacy of using same-size donor grafts for keratoconus patients with axial myopia. METHODS A prospective noncomparative interventional case series was performed on 142 eyes of 136 consecutive keratoconus patients. Penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) was performed by 3 skilled surgeons using the same technique with a single running 10-0 nylon suture. Donor button size w...
متن کاملMicrobial Profile of Air Contamination in Hospital Wards
Background and Aims:Nosocomial infections cause considerable morbidity and mortality and pose high financial burden on healthcare systems. Although surface contact, surgical incisions, wounds and catheters are responsible for a high percentage of nosocomial infections, bacterial and fungal air contaminations in hospitals have an important role in development of hospital infections.

متن کاملMicrobial contamination of spacecraft.
Spacecraft and space habitats supporting human exploration contain a diverse population of microorganisms. Microorganisms may threaten human habitation in many ways that directly or indirectly impact the health, safety, or performance of astronauts. The ability to produce and maintain spacecraft and space stations with environments suitable for human habitation has been established over 40 year...
متن کاملBioengineered Corneas Grafted as Alternatives to Human Donor Corneas in Three High-Risk Patients
Corneas with severe pathologies have a high risk of rejection when conventionally grafted with human donor tissues. In this early observational study, we grafted bioengineered corneal implants made from recombinant human collagen and synthetic phosphorylcholine polymer into three patients for whom donor cornea transplantation carried a high risk of transplant failure. These patients suffered fr...
