PURPOSE To evaluate the efficiency of triamcinolone (TRI) in limiting the postoperative inflammatory response and scarring after strabismus surgery. METHODS A prospective, two-stage, masked, controlled trial was conducted. In the first stage, the inflammatory response at the extraocular muscle reattachment site was analyzed after superior rectus recession in ten rabbits. In the second stage, ...

High-incidence lift generation via flow reattachment is studied. Different reattachment mechanisms are distinguished, with dynamic manoeuvres and tip vortex downwash being separate mechanisms. We focus on the latter mechanism, which is strictly available to finite wings, and isolate it by considering steadily translating wings. The tip vortex downwash provides a smoother merging of the flow at ...

PURPOSE To determine the long term outcome of secondary glaucoma following retinal reattachment surgery. METHOD A longitudinal retrospective study was undertaken of the medical records of patients referred to the Glaucoma Service at Moorfields Eye Hospital following retinal reattachment surgery. The main outcome measures were final intraocular pressure (IOP), progression in cup:disc ratio, an...

The aims of this study were to analyze the preliminary clinical outcome of limb salvage using Ligament Advanced Reinforcement System (LARS). It is hypothesized that LARS ligament is a safe and effective choice to enhance prosthetic reconstructions, providing good muscles reattachment and improving joint stability. From March 2009 to March 2010, 7 patients received megaprosthesis reconstruction ...

This paper presents the experimental design and subsequent findings from a series of experiments in a large boundary layer wind tunnel to investigate the variation of surface pressures with increasing upwind terrain roughness on low-rise buildings. Geometrically scaled models of the Wind Engineering Research Field Laboratory experimental building were subjected to a wide range of turbulent boun...

Fracture of tooth after trauma is distressing to a person because of the discomfort and pain due to pulpal injury. Crown root fractures of anterior teeth cause concomitant periodontal injury and there will be concern about appearance, and aesthetics. Management of pulpal and periodontal tissue relieves pain and restoration of tooth form regains patients confidence. Restoration of fractured toot...

Acute lead dislodgment is a complication that should be managed immediately. Spontaneous reattachment of a dislodged atrial pacing lead has never been reported before. This case report describes a lucky patient whose atrial lead spontaneously gained a new functioning position after dislodgment from its initial implantation site.

BACKGROUND We hypothesize that an anatomic repair of the distal biceps tendon would recreate native tendon moment arm and forearm rotation, while a nonanatomic insertion would compromise moment arm and forearm rotation. METHODS Isometric supination torque was measured at 60° of pronation, neutral, and 60° of supination for the native distal biceps tendon and 4 repair points in 6 cadaveric spe...

Abstract---The steady flow of a second order fluid through constricted tube with slip velocity at wall is modeled and analyzed theoretically. The governing equations are simplified by implying no slip in radial direction. Based on Karman Pohlhausen procedure polynomial solution for axial velocity profile is presented. Expressions for pressure gradient, shear stress, separation and reattachment ...

PURPOSE This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of fluid-gas exchange for the treatment of postvitrectomy retinal detachment. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the records of 33 consecutive patients (35 eyes) who underwent fluid-gas exchange treatment for postvitrectomy retinal detachment using the two-needle pars plana approach technique. RESULTS The retinal reattachment rate wa...
