PURPOSE The present study aims to investigate the number and characteristics of retinal detachment with atopic dermatitis (AD) in these 20 years, and the number of the first visit AD outpatients in almost the same period. METHODS A retrospective review of 101 consecutive surgically treated retinal detachments with AD patients from 1992 to 2011 was conducted. Retinal detachments were divided i...

PURPOSE To evaluate the impact of intravitreal bevacizumab combined with laser vascular ablation in the management of advanced Coats' disease presenting with exudative retinal detachment. METHODS This was a retrospective review of 24 children that presented with exudative retinal detachments associated with advanced Coats' disease. Mean patient age was 62 months (range 9-160 months). Presenti...

We evaluated the use of a heavier-than-water fluorinated silicone oil in the treatment of 30 selected cases of complicated retinal detachment from January 1988 to July 1989. Proliferative vitreoretinopathy grade C-2 or greater accounted for 19 cases, proliferative diabetic retinopathy with traction detachment for two cases, giant retinal tears five, ruptured globe with retinal detachment two, m...

The detachment of vertex is the inverse operation of merging vertices s1, . . . , st into s. We speak about {d1, . . . , dt}-detachment if for the detached graph G′ the new degrees are specified as dG′(s1) = d1, . . . , dG′(st) = dt. We call a detachment k-feasible if dG′(X) ≥ k whenever X separates two vertices of V (G)−s. In our main theorem, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for t...

The differential diagnosis of serous retinal detachment (RD) includes Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome, severe hypertensive choroidopathy, posterior scleritis, multifocal choroiditis, metastatic tumor, and uveal effusion. Some cases of serous retinal detachment occur as a result of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR). Typical CSCR generally affects healthy middle-aged males and is characterize...

PURPOSE To examine the correlation, if any, between fibrinogen plasma levels (FPL) and the clinical features of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). METHODS FPL were measured preoperatively in 33 patients with primary RRD. Patient characteristics and detachment features such as the numbers of breaks and the extent of the detachment were recorded; RESULTS No statistically significant cor...

CASE REPORT A 34- year- old man affected by Klinefelter syndrome, with loss of vision in his left eye, ocular hypertension with increased cupping in both eyes, and optic disc pit with serous macular detachment in the left eye. Optical coherence tomography showed a macular detachment with a double-layer detachment, consisting of both an inner layer separation and an outer layer detachment. The o...

The patient-physician relationship has many dimensions––technical, psychological, moral and legal. At its essence, however, it is a professional relationship. As in all such relationships, there exists a set of boundaries between the parties that allow each to act according to his particular role and responsibilities, in a safe environment. The existence of such boundaries implies that the noti...

An experiment was initiated on Sharpsburg silty clay loam (fine, montmorillonitic, mesic Typic Argiudoll) in 1981 to compare the effects of fertility management and crop practices on splash detachment of soil. Experimental treatments included comparisons of crop rotations of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.| after corn (Zea mays L.) (SB), corn after soybean (C), and oat/red and yellow sweetclove...
