BACKGROUND Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment is one of the commonly encountered retinal problems where timely treatment could prevent irreversible vision loss. Pneumatic retinopexy (PR) is a simple and minimally invasive procedure for retinal reattachment. AIM This study aimed to assess the outcome of pneumatic retinopexy in primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment at our facility. STUDY D...

OBJECTIVES To review characteristics and outcomes of patients who underwent primary pneumatic retinopexy (PR) for repair of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in a multioffice retina practice and to determine what preoperative characteristics were associated with success or failure of PR. METHODS A retrospective medical record review was conducted of patients who underwent primary PR from Sept...

For a graph G, a detachment operation at a vertex transforms the graph into a new graph by splitting the vertex into several vertices in such a way that the original graph can be obtained by contracting all the split vertices into a single vertex. A graph obtained from a given graph G by applying detachment operations at several vertices is called a detachment of graph G. We consider a detachme...

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE The evolution of present surgical techniques for reattaching a primary retinal detachment will be reviewed starting from 1929, and the present techniques analyzed in regard to their morbidity, reoperation, and long-term visual function. METHODS Literature of retinal detachment operations during the past 80 years is reviewed, of which the author has first-hand experience dur...

Abstract Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X), the largest advanced stellarator, is built to demonstrate high power, performance quasi-continuous operation. Therefore, in recent campaign, experiments were performed prepare for long pulse operation, addressing three critical issues: development of stable detachment, control heat and particle exhaust, impact leading edges on plasma performance. The exhaust W7-...

The relationship between retinal detachment and posterior lens capsule rupture in pseudophakic patients was studied. Records of patients with pseudophakic retinal detachment who were admitted to Siriraj Hospital from 1992 to 2004 were reviewed. The patients were divided into 2 main groups: 1) The study group (pseudophakic retinal detachment) 79 eyes (78 cases) which was subdivided into group 1a...

The rate of transfer of intravitreally injected tritiated water from the mid vitreous to the choroid is significantly increased after depolymerization of vitreous hyaluronic acid by injected hyaluronidase. The significance of this finding is discussed in relation to such conditions as retinal detachment and reattachment.

purpose : evaluating the effects of memantine on visual function after scleral buckling for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (rrd) methods : in a double blind prospective randomized clinical trial, 61 patients with clinical diagnosis of less than 4 weeks macula-off rrd who had successful scleral buckle surgery had been selected and divided into two randomized groups. thirty of them received 5 ...
