Unilateral nevoid telangiectasia syndrome (UNTS) can be classified into two major categories: congenital and acquired. There have been reports showing an increase in skin estrogen and progesterone receptors in patients with this syndrome. We report a male patient with acquired unilateral nevoid telangiectasia syndrome without any associated physiological or pathological conditions.<...

BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2013201536 DESCRIPTION A 64-year-old man presented with a 12-month history of angina. Following coronary angiography he underwent percutaneous coronary intervention with deployment of drug-eluting stents to the left anterior descending and main diagonal branch. He was discharg...

PURPOSE To determine whether internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling is effective and cost effective compared with no peeling in patients with idiopathic stage 2 or 3 full-thickness maculay hole (FTMH). METHODS This was a pragmatic multicenter randomized controlled trial. Eligible participants from nine centers were randomized to ILM peeling or no peeling (1:1 ratio) in addition to phacovitr...

To study the effect of individual genes by segregation or linkage analyses, the likelihood of the model needs to be evaluated. The likelihood can be computed efficiently using the Elston-Stewart algorithm. This algorithm involves summing over the unobserved genotypes in the pedigree, which is called peeling. An important aspect of this algorithm is to determine the order of peeling to maximize ...

An ELMy ASDEX Upgrade plasma equilibrium is reconstructed taking into account the bootstrap current. The peeling mode stability of the equilibrium is numerically analysed using the GATO [1] code, and it is found that the bootstrap current can drive the plasma peeling mode unstable. A high-n ballooning mode stability analysis of the equilibria revealed that, while destabilizing the peeling modes...

For skin contact medical devices, realizing a strong with is essential to precisely detect human biological information and enable human-machine interaction. In this study, we aimed fabricate characterize an inclusion complex film (ICF) for adhesion using α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) nonanyl group-modified PVA (C9-PVA) under wet conditions. Based on the water insolubility of C9-PVA ability α-CD alkyl ...

The aim of the present study was to compare the effectiveness and the safety of different topical agents (glycolic acid, mandelic acid, and grape juice acid mixture) in skin exfoliation by objective instrumental methods. To evaluate the exfoliating effects of these substances, a new experimental in vivo protocol based on DHA (dihydroxyacetone)-induced skin pigmentation was used. Skin acceptabil...

PURPOSE To investigate the difference in the occurrence of postoperative epiretinal membranes (ERMs) in vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with and without peeling of the internal limiting membrane (ILM). METHODS The medical records of the 135 patients, who underwent vitrectomy for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment from November 2007 to August 2011, were analyzed retrosp...

Adhesion of spider web anchorages has been studied in recent years, including the specific functionalities achieved through different architectures. To better understand the delamination mechanisms of these and other biological or artificial fibrillar adhesives, and how their adhesion can be optimized, we develop a novel numerical model to simulate the multiple peeling of structures with arbitr...
