[Use of sulphur hexafluoride in trabeculectomy].

Use of lung pressure-volume curves and helium-sulphur hexafluoride washout to detect emphysema in subjects with mild airflow obstruction.

Descemet's Membrane Detachment Management Following Trabeculectomy

PURPOSE To present a case of total Descemet's membrane detachment (DMD) after trabeculectomy and its surgical management. CASE REPORT A 68-year-old woman presented with large DMD and corneal edema one day after trabeculectomy. Intracameral air injection on day 3 was not effective. Choroidal effusion complicated the clinical picture with Descemet's membrane (DM) touching the lens. Choroidal ta...

Extended retinal tamponade in the treatment of retinal detachment with proliferative vitreoretinopathy.

We have used intraocular sulphur hexafluoride or liquid silicone as an adjunct to vitreous surgery in the treatment of a non-randomised sequential series of 19 eyes with retinal detachment complicated by proliferative vitreoretinopathy. We have studied the surgical results and complications of these two tamponades and drawn preliminary conclusions on their use in retinal reattachment surgery. A...

New Aspects Concerning Sulphur Hexafluoride Use As Contrast Agent for Ultrasonographyc Diagnosis

Introduction of contrast agents as microbubbles to improve ultrasound examination techniques has increased the rate of detection and characterization of liver lesions. Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) is a relatively new method of exploring the liver and diagnosing focal liver lesions (FLL). The aim of this study is to determine the efficiency of microbubbles used for CEUS in managing p...
