PURPOSE To elucidate risk potentiality of frontline radiotherapy associated cataracts in primary ocular adnexal mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma (OAML). METHODS Data from eight consecutive patients of 41 total OAML patients who had undergone cataract surgery after frontline radiotherapy were analyzed. RESULTS The median patient age was 46 years (range, 36 to 69 years). The median ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Although drowning is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in young children, the neuropathologic consequences have not been fully determined. The purpose of this article was to quantitatively characterize white matter microstructural abnormalities in pediatric anoxic brain injury from nonfatal drowning and investigate the correlation with motor function. MATERIALS...

Introduction: Chorioretinal coloboma (CRC) results from abnormal closure of the embryonic fissure. Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is a rare complication that associated with choroid. VEGF an important factor in development CNV.
 Case Report: A 52-year-old woman gradual blurred vision left eye since 4 months ago. Right was already she child uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) 0.5/60. Her r...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the topography of the saphenous nerve branches and of the popliteal neurovascular bundle of knee and to establish a low risk placement position of the posteromedial knee portal (PmKP). A slice anatomy study, by using plastinated transparent knee cross-sections was performed on 12 intact right male cadaver lower limbs. The measurements were performed at ...

PURPOSE To evaluate posterior capsule opacification (PCO) in humans after cataract surgery with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation, by using optical coherence tomography (OCT-1). METHODS Sixty-six eyes with PCO and 20 eyes with a normal posterior capsule were analyzed. A 3-mm-long horizontal scan of the posterior capsule was obtained. Measurements at three points and their average were recor...

A MODIFICATION of the original Ridley acrylic implant suggested in a previous communication (Epstein, 1957) comprised a biconvex lens of larger diameter (9.4 mm.) and thinner central thickness (1 5 mm.), and with a naturally tapering edge instead of a relatively thick square edge. It was found that such a lens facilitates centration, and adjusts itself almost automatically after insertion, litt...

PURPOSE The ocular humors are relatively low in protein, yet cell growth in the human capsular bag still occurs after extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) surgery. This resilient growth gives rise to posterior capsule opacification (PCO) in a significant proportion (30%) of patients. This study compared the ability of human lens cells to proliferate in serum-supplemented and protein-free me...

A lacunar infarction occurred in the posterior limb of the internal capsule in a 33-years-old Colombian woman, showed an antero-posterior (A-P) course of the corticospinal pathway. Anatomical and histological studies had suggested this course, but to the author's knowledge, this could be the first reported case of a living patient with such features, confirming those previous reports about them.

Fresh surgical explants of human carcinomas were implanted as first transplant generation xenografts under the kidney capsule of mice. Immunocompetent and immune-deficient mice were compared for their ability to support the persistence and growth of these xenografts. Consistent growth of tumor xenografts could not be demonstrated following implantation under the kidney capsule of immunocompeten...
