Purpose To investigate the mechanism of macular hole (MH) closure following the inverted internal limiting membrane (ILM) technique. Methods We performed the inverted ILM flap surgical technique as an experimental MH model in monkeys, and investigated the process of MH closure immunohistochemically. We then investigated the effects of type IV collagen, fibronectin, and laminin, which are cons...

PURPOSE To determine whether internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling is effective and cost effective compared with no peeling in patients with idiopathic stage 2 or 3 full-thickness maculay hole (FTMH). METHODS This was a pragmatic multicenter randomized controlled trial. Eligible participants from nine centers were randomized to ILM peeling or no peeling (1:1 ratio) in addition to phacovitr...

PURPOSE To determine the effects of X-linked and autosomal recessive Alport syndrome on retinal basement membranes and how these result in the characteristic perimacular dot-and-fleck retinopathy, lozenge, and macular hole. METHODS The type IV collagen chains present in the normal retina were determined immunohistochemically. Ten patients with Alport syndrome underwent retinal photography and...

Manuscript received: 03.05.17; Revision accepted: 08.08.17 We describe the evolution of subinternal limiting membrane (ILM) hemorrhage associated with anemic retinopathy on fundus autofluorescence (FAF) and spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT). A 27-year-old male with megaloblastic anemia complained of defective vision in the right eye (RE). Fundus examination revealed multiple Ro...

This research aimed to find out: 1) the process of applying measurement method learning Arabic grammar in one secondary schools Lombok for students class X at Madrasah Aliyah Nida’urrahman Bebie; and 2) difficulties qiyasi Bebie. As a whole, researchers tried uniqueness method, while was applied Arabic, especially Nida’urrahman. It is not known whether suitable all students, considering that th...

W e have developed a new technique to facilitate internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling with triamcinolone acetonide during idiopathic macular hole surgery. Twelve eyes of 12 patients with a macular hole, stage 2 to 4 and size 0.12 disc diameters (DD) to 0.39 DD (mean, 0.20 DD), underwent vitrectomy with ILM peeling using triamcinolone. Before ILM peeling, a triamcinolone suspension (8 mg/mL ...

The Holy Quran holds nothing but absolute divine truth as it is the book of Allah Who assures its preservation Himself: “We have, without doubt, sent down Message; and we will assuredly guard (from corruption)”. This a miracle. Among Islamic disciplines knowledge, Ilm-ul-Qiraat well-known discipline which has been carried through by scholars over course centuries they served their lives in teac...

This can of course be solved using algebra. The rst treatise on algebra was written by Diophantus of Alexandria in the 3rd century AD. The term derives from the Arabic al-jabr or literally \the reunion of broken parts." As well as its mathematical meaning, the word also means the surgical treatment of fractures. It gained widespread use through the title of a book ilm al-jabr wa'l-mukabala|the ...
