Macular peeling refers to the surgical technique for the removal of preretinal tissue or the internal limiting membrane (ILM) in the macula for several retinal disorders, ranging from epiretinal membranes (primary or secondary to diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachment…) to full-thickness macular holes, macular edema, foveal retinoschisis, and others. The technique has evolved in the last two ...

BACKGROUND To evaluate the effects on vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling versus vitrectomy with inverted internal limiting membrane flap technique for macular hole-induced retinal detachment (MHRD). METHODS Pubmed, Cochrane Library, and Embase were systematically searched for studies that compared ILM peeling with inverted ILM flap technique for macular hole-induced reti...

Aims: To determine the effects of sodium metabisulphite and blanching pretreatments on the quality characteristics of yam bean (Pachyrhizus erosus) flour. Study Design: Evaluation of the effects of peeling, blanching and sodium metabisulphite pretreatments on the ease of drying, particle size distribution, colour and pH of yam bean flour using a 2 x 3 factorial design. Place and Duration of Stu...

Double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) unconstrained by torsion undergoes an overstretching transition at about 65 pN, elongating the DNA to about 1.7-fold. Three possible structural transitions have been debated for the nature of DNA overstretching: (i) "peeling" apart of dsDNA to produce a peeled ssDNA strand under tension while the other strand coils, (ii) "inside-strand separation" of dsDNA to two par...

INTRODUCTION Postoperative eccentric macular hole formation is an uncommon complication after pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) without internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling for the treatment of epiretinal membrane (ERM). We present a case of eccentric macular hole formation after PPV for ERM without ILM peeling. CASE REPORT A 68-year-old male patient presented with ERM and visual acuity of 6/24...

BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to determine the residual concentrations of ethion and imidacloprid in cucumbers grown in greenhouse. The effect of some simple processing procedures on both ethion and imidacloprid residues were also studied. METHODS Ten active greenhouses that produce cucumber were randomly selected. Ethion and imidacloprid as the most widely used pesticides were m...

When we try to solve a system of linear equations, we can consider a simple iterative algorithm in which an equation including only one variable is chosen at each step, and the variable is fixed to the value satisfying the equation. The dynamics of this algorithm is captured by the peeling algorithm. Analyses of the peeling algorithm on random hypergraphs are required for many problems, e.g., t...

Objective To establish efficacy and safety of medium depth spot peeling with 35% TCA in atrophic and rolled acne scars, in Asian skin (Fitzpatrick skin type III to IV). Patients and methods The study was carried out in the Department of Dermatology Sheikh Zayed Hospital form September 2009 to April 2010. Patients with rolled or atrophic acne scars who presented to skin or plastic surgery outdoo...

The peeling-ballooning model for edge localized modes (ELMs) and pedestal constraints, based upon ideal MHD instabilities driven by pressure gradients and current in the edge barrier region, has been broadly applied toward understanding ELM and pedestal behavior in a number of tokamak experiments. Due in part to multiple driving terms, multiple wavelengths and second stability access physics, t...
