This may be deleterious in open globe injuries. No method has previously been shown to abolish completely this rise in the IOP. We investigated whether dexmedetomidine, an alpha-2 agonist, could attenuate th...

Storage, processing and visualization of 3D geodata are an important subject in the GIS world even before the leading search engine introduced its globe viewer. Usage of standards of the Open Geospa-tial Consortium (OGC) open up new possibilities for combination and usage of 3D geodata. First practical experiences show promising results.
