purpose: to evaluate the anatomical and functional outcomes of using heavy silicone oil as an internal tamponade for complicated cases of retinal detachment associated with proliferative vitreoretinopathy involving inferior retinal quadrants methods: 55 eyes from 55 patients with complicated retinal detachments enrolled in this interventional case series study. all eyes underwent standard three...

purpose : to evaluate the efficacy of autologous plasmin in pediatric vitrectomy and to report the anatomic outcomes of autologous plasmin assisted pediatric vitrectomy methods : in an interventional prospective study, thirty-four pediatric patients with vitreoretinal disorders who needed vitrectomy during 2008 to 2010, included in the study. the patients were divided into two groups: the retin...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study is to confirm that ANO1 correlates with occurrence and metastasis of OSCC. STUDY DESIGN Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of ANO1 in 160 specimens of OSCC and normal tissues. Lentiviral silencing ANO1 was used in SCC-25 cell line to study the cell migration and cell detachment. RESULTS Immunohistochemical staining revealed that ANO1 ...

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a complex disease characterized by an aberrant developmental retinal angiogenesis in preterm infants and can carry significant visual morbidity, including retinal detachment and blindness. Though large scale, randomized clinical trials have improved our understanding of the pathophysiology and progression of the disease, the management of ROP remains a challe...

Experiments were conducted in 10 isolated rabbit hearts at 25°C to test the hypothesis that vibration-induced depression of myocardial contractile function was the result of increased cross-bridge breakage. Small-amplitude sinusoidal changes in left ventricular volume were administered at frequencies of 25, 50, and 76.9 Hz. The resulting pressure response consisted of a depressive response [ΔPd...

Bacterial transport through cores of intact, glacial-outwash aquifer sediment was investigated with the overall goal of better understanding bacterial transport and developing a predictive capability based on the sediment characteristics. Variability was great among the cores. Normalized maximum bacterial-effluent concentrations ranged from 5.4x10(-7) to 0.36 and effluent recovery ranged from 2...

Objective: This study evaluated the quality, reliability and effectiveness of YouTube videos addressing retinal detachment.
 Material Methods:An online search was performed using keyword detachment first 100 were included in study. All numbers likes, dislikes, comments, view, daily viewing rate, uploaded source (physicians, public/private institution, or health channel), country origin, vi...

This study examined whether a higher level of psychological detachment during non-work time is associated with better employee mental health (Hypothesis 1), and examined whether psychological detachment has a curvilinear relation (inverted U-shaped pattern) with work engagement (Hypothesis 2). A large cross-sectional Internet survey was conducted among registered monitors of an Internet survey ...

PURPOSE To determine the long-term risk of retinal detachment following pediatric cataract surgery and to identify risk factors for retinal detachment. METHODS We included all children (aged 0 to 17 years) who during the time period of 1977 to 2005 underwent pediatric cataract surgery in Denmark, excluding cataract cases caused by trauma, or acquired systemic or acquired ocular pathology, and...

Aim: To determine the frequency of ciliary body or retinal breaks and retinal detachment in eyes with atopic cataract. Methods: The records of 106 eyes (74 patients) with atopic cataract that underwent cataract extraction were reviewed. The frequency of ciliary body or retinal breaks and retinal detachment was classified by their presence preoperatively and postoperatively, and by cataract type...
