A case of severe endophthalmitis after cataract extraction followed by posterior chamber lens implantation is reported. Microbiological cultures from a tap of the patient's aqueous humour prior to lens explantation as well as from the explanted lens and aqueous and vitreous humour during operation yielded Staphylococcus epidermidis sensu stricto. Scanning electron microscopy showed massive colo...

1. The concentrations of vitreous humour and plasma glucose were closely correlated in both healthy and fatty liver and kidney syndrome-affected chicks at time of death. 2. The values of vitreous humour glucose and lactate decreased rapidly after death, such that they were not reliable indicators of the presence of hypoglycaemia immediately ante mortem. 3. Hepatic glycogen was extremely low in ...

We built an automated dialogue system whose style of interaction can be varied along the three dimensions of Humour, Relationship Maintenance and Personality Matching. We then ran a longitudinal experiment which investigated manipulations of these three dimensions. We explored the interaction of these separate dimensions on user perception of the system using a controlled study design. We showe...

Patients undergoing cataract surgery may develop an infective endophthalmitis postoperatively which may result in the loss of an eye. This study was carried out to measure aqueous humour levels and to assess patients' tolerance of ceftazidime, a potent antipseudomonal cephalosporin, given subconjunctivally. Eighteen patients received 125 mg ceftazidime subconjunctivally before they underwent ro...

Exogenous corticosteroids (dexamethasone, cortisol) inhibit the adrenal secretion of corticosterone in the rabbit and decrease the concentration of corticosterone in aqueous humour, increase glycaemia and cause a rise in glucose concentration in the aqueous. Except for a slight rise 16 h after the corticosteroid administration no effect on plasma or aqueous content of total protein was observed...

Computer model of a " sense of humour " suggested previously [1 – 3] is raised to the level of a realistic algorithm.

This paper considers the application of a micro-analytic approach to critically explore how Muslim women’s Sister’s Circle (SC), based at British university, interactionally resists discourses Islamophobia and othering through humour. I reflect on navigated methodological tensions during my PhD, specifically around context in Conversation Analysis (CA; Schegloff, 1997), benefits synthesising CA...
