purpose : to compare visual outcome of aspheric and spheric intraocular lenses (iols) implantation in patients with age-related cataract in terms of visual acuity (va), contrast sensitivity (cs) and spherical aberration methods : in this prospective randomized interventional study, 59 consecutive cases of senile cataract who had been admitted for cataract surgery to farabi eye hospital, tehran,...

Purpose: To evaluate the results of combined chemotherapy and periocular carboplatin injection to control advanced intraocular retinoblastoma (Rb). Methods: In this prospective interventional case-series, we included 8 eyes of 8 patients with advanced intraocular Rb (group C or D in International Intraocular Retinoblastoma Classification, IIRC). In these patients, periocular carboplatin was inj...

a case of pleomorphic adenoma in sweat gland is reported here. the histopathologic report confirmed the diagnosis. pleomorphic adenoma is most common in salivary glands but very rare in sweat glands. pleomorphic adenoma in sweat gland and the similar tumors of eccring sweat gland are described that bear a striking resemblance to pleomorphic adenomas of salivary gland. upon closer examination, t...

absract a case of 69- year-old woman with large pelvic mass and ascites is reported in this paper. with the exception of mild pelvic pain and a pelvic mass in pelvic , she had no symptom or sign . all routine and hormonal lab tests and tumor marker's were normal. the mri revealed a large mass in anterosuperior of uterus, and left ovary was situated in neighborhood of pelvic mass.her uterus norm...

purpose: to evaluate the effect of trans-scleral cyclophotocoagulation (tscpc) in reducing intraocular pressure in eyes with history of pars plana vitrectomy with or without intraocular silicone oil and refractory to medical treatment. methods: medical records of 35 eyes of 35 patients who underwent tscpc for medically uncontrolled glaucoma after pars plana vitrectomy for retinal pathology were...

PURPOSE Because signal-to-noise performance improves with increased magnetic field strength, the quality of magnetic resonance images is greater at 3.0 tesla (T) than at 1.5 T. Because of the longer T1 values at higher field strength, intravenously administered magnetic resonance contrast agents provide improved T1 enhancement at 3.0 T. We have used these factors to obtain high-quality contrast...

OBJECTIVE To review the effectiveness and toxicity of periocular topotecan hydrochloride in fibrin sealant (Tisseel) for the control of intraocular retinoblastoma. METHODS Retrospective medical record review of visually threatening or recurrent intraocular retinoblastoma treated with periocular topotecan. RESULTS Eight children (10 eyes) received 1 to 4 injections of periocular topotecan in...

purpose : to evaluate the accuracy of ocular sonography in measurement of size of intraocular foreign bodies (iofb) methods : in a case series study, 58 consecutive patients with intraocular foreign body were included. ocular sonography was performed to detect intraocular foreign body and the results were compared with the same intraoperative findings. results : metallic material was found to b...

Retinoblastoma, an intraocular pediatric cancer, develops in the embryonic retina following biallelic loss of RB1. However, there is a wide range of genetic and epigenetic changes that can affect RB1 resulting in different clinical outcomes. In addition, other transformations, such as MYCN amplification, generate particularly aggressive tumors, which may or may not be RB1 independent. Recognizi...

Adrenal cortical carcinomas may be induced by early castration of male or female CE (~ , ~8) or BALB/c (6) mice. Such tumors are often hormonally dependent, i.e., they show faster growth as transplants in castrated than in intact hosts (8, 18). These dependent tumors enter a dormant, or latent, period of 1 or more months after intraocular transplantation, followed by a shorter one during which ...
