Background and Importance: Our learning curve during two decades of neurosurgical practice has been changed from an abstractive to a more meaningful and conductive state. In cases of fifth nerve neurinoma, pre-operative anatomopathologic diagnosis could lead us to a pre-planned program during and after the surgery to get the safe surgical result. Case Presentation: Representation of two comp...

PURPOSE To investigate the efficacy and safety of Genipin and UV-riboflavin crosslinking (UV-CLX) in corneal crosslinking. METHODS Porcine eyes were separated in groups for each crosslinker, genipin 0.25% UV-CLX (clinical crosslinking procedure), glutaraldehyde 0.1% (gold standard crosslinker), and control eyes. Intraocular pressure (IOP) was continuously monitored by a pressure sensor cannul...

background/objective: hyperphosphatemia is the consequence of end stage renal failure. inadequate control of serum phosphorus results in elevated ca × p product with subsequent soft tissue deposition in the form of conjunctival and corneal calcification.  in this study, we evaluated the relationship of conjunctival and corneal calcification with secondary hyperparathyroidism in hemodialysis pat...
