PURPOSE To report the case of a patient who developed late capsular block syndrome and to review the current literature regarding this complication of phacoemulsification procedures. METHODS The literature was reviewed to summarize the diagnosis, classification, use of diagnostic aids, and the current treatments for this complication. RESULTS A 69-year-old patient complained of decreased vi...

Control of food ingestion related to proximal gastric distension has never been demonstrated in pigs. The aim of this study was to demonstrate its existence. Meal duration, food intake rate and characteristics of non-ingestion periods were evaluated during the ingestion of a 500 g meal with simultaneous balloon distension of the proximal stomach. Distensions were performed either at fixed press...

ABSTRACT: Spontaneous and experimental poisoning by Tephrosia cinerea in the northeastern semiarid region of Brazil has only been described sheep. Pathologically, such leads to ascites centrilobular liver fibrosis. However, these effects require an study goats. This aimed determine goats’ susceptibility ingestion T. minimum toxic dose, describing main clinical anatomopathological findings. Pois...

AIM To determine whether anterior capsule polishing during cataract surgery done by phacoemulsification has any effect on the rate of posterior capsule opacification. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a 3 year retrospective analytical study at our hospital. The medical records of patients who underwent cataract extraction by phacoemulsification with foldable square edge hydrophilic PCIOL bet...

Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) is a common, painful and disabling condition which is typically slow to resolve. Patients with this condition will be seen in every musculoskeletal practitioner's clinic on a regular basis. There is a wide variety of treatment modalities available, some more effective than others. This article reviews the literature on the aetiology and natural history of t...

Laser enucleation and morcellation of the prostate is an increasingly used surgical management of benign prostatic hyperplasia. However, it can cause several complications including capsular perforation, ureteral orifice injury, and bladder mucosal morcellation injury. Herein, we report a case of severe postoperative dyspnea caused by neglected massive intraperitoneal fluid collection during la...

Recordings were obtained from slowly adapting mechanoreceptors innervating the posterior aspect of the cat knee joint capsule. It was observed that, with rising intra-articular volume, initially both intra-articular pressure and the neural discharge increased. This increase was dependent on the rate of fluid accumulation within the joint. However, the joint nerve discharge invariably levelled o...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of aldose reductase (AR) inhibition on posterior capsular opacification (PCO) with the use of a pig eye capsular bag model. METHODS Pig eye capsular bags were prepared by capsulorhexis and cultured in medium without or with AR inhibitors for 7 days. Immunostaining was performed in paraformaldehyde-fixed capsular bags to determine th...
