Iris varix as a cause of late-onset inflammation after implantation of a phakic iris claw lens Iris varix as a cause of late-onset inflammation after implantation of a phakic iris claw lens.

purpose: to evaluate the predictability, efficacy, and safety of iris-claw artisanô phakic intraocular lenses ­for myopia. methods: through a prospective clinical study, 35 eyes of 21 patients with myopia from -5 to 26.5 diopters underwent implantation of the artisan lens. patients were examined 1, 3, and 7 days (all eyes); 1 month (28 eyes), 3 months (29 eyes), and 6 months (32 eyes) after the...

Objective(s): Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) can effectively promote axonal regeneration，limit axonal retraction，and produce a statistically significant improvement in motor recovery after spinal cord injury (SCI). However, the role in primate animals with SCI is not fully cognized. Materials and Methods:18 healthy juvenile rhesuses were divided randomly into six groups, obs...

Careful antemortem examination and interpretation of findings, assisted by good clinical records, do much to throw light on the nature of vertical fissure in cattle. During an eight month period of investigation, 13 (3.2%) lame cows with vertical fissure out of 52 Holstein cows with different claw fissures were selected for clinical and gross pathological purposes in a commercial dairy farm wit...

Laminitis has been described in many species, but is most common in the equine and bovine. Although bovine laminitis is most common in lactating dairy cows, it has been reported in all ages and sexes. Laminitis is an inflammation of the laminar corium of the hoof wall, and also includes the sole corium in the bovine definition. In general, the term laminitis is used to describe a systemic disea...

A claw-free graph G(V,E) is said to be basic if there exists a matching M ⊆ E whose edges are strongly bisimplicial and such that each connected component C of G − M is either a clique or a {claw, net}-free graph or satisfies α(G[C \ V (M)]) ≤ 3. The Maximum Weight Stable Set (MWSS) Problem in a basic claw-free graph can be easily solved by first solving at most four MWSS problems in each conne...

BACKGROUND In order to facilitate normal gait, toes require to be in a rectus position during the propulsive phase. This requires a correct balance and sequence of activity of the intrinsic musculature of the feet. Alteration of this balance and sequence may lead to the development of claw toes. Atrophy of the lumbricals occurs in the development of claw toes, but it is not known if changes occ...

Let G be a graph with |V (G)| ≥ 10. We prove that if both G and G are claw-free, then min{∆(G), ∆(G)} ≤ 2. As a generalization of this result in the case where |V (G)| is sufficiently large, we also prove that if both G and G are K1,t-free, then min{∆(G), ∆(G)} ≤ r(t− 1, t)− 1 where r(t− 1, t) is the Ramsey number.

We prove that every claw-free graph G that does not contain a clique on ∆(G) ≥ 9 vertices can be ∆(G)− 1 colored.

A graph is called t-perfect if its stable set polytope is defined by nonnegativity, edge and odd-cycle inequalities. We show that it can be decided in polynomial time whether a given claw-free graph is t-perfect.
