AIM To report on the effectiveness of systemic steroid-pulse therapy in treating idiopathic choroidal detachment. CASE PRESENTATION Our patient developed idiopathic choroidal detachment after cataract surgery for pseudoexfoliation glaucoma and glaucoma filtration surgery. Systemic steroid-pulse therapy was performed, and the choroidal detachment resolved completely. CONCLUSION We suggest sy...

PURPOSE To describe iris atrophy, serous detachment of the ciliary body, and ocular hypotony in a patient with chronic phase of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease. METHODS Ocular examination and follow-up including digital infrared transillumination imaging of the iris was done in a 52-year-old woman with chronic phase of VKH disease. RESULTS Infrared transillumination imaging showed extens...

This study aims to explore the relation between job demands and counterproductive work behaviors (CWBs). A cross-sectional sample of 439 coal miners completed a self-report questionnaire that assessed their job demands, psychological detachment, job anxiety, and CWBs in a Chinese context. The conceptual model, based on the stressor-detachment model, was examined using structural equation modeli...

The fluid dynamic interaction of cavitation bubbles with adherent cells on a substrate is experimentally investigated. We find that the nonspherical collapse of bubbles near to the boundary is responsible for cell detachment. High-speed photography reveals that a wall bounded flow leads to the detachment of cells. Cells at the edge of the circular area of detachment are found to be permanently ...

We present evidence of cellular responses to increased sedimentation and temperature in Montastraea cavernosa collected off Broward County, Florida. We sampled corals from six different sites approximately, 500-1000 m off shore, 10-15m depth. Six samples were collected from four sites adjacent to areas of underwater marine dredging (project sites), while the remaining two samples were obtained ...
