purpose : to report an unusual presentation of chandler syndrome case report : a 22-year-old female came to our clinic with complaint of progressive visual loss in her left eye since three days ago. she had a history of trauma with finger-nail to her left eye eight days ago and had been managed with topical antibiotic. in her examination, the left eye had visual acuity (va) of counting finger a...

Background Accurate prevalence figures are not available, but it has been estimated that 1-2% of women have recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), defined as three or more consecutive losses of intrauterine pregnancy in the first trimester. Half of whom have no identifiable cause. Recent studies of early pregnancy loss, preeclampsia, pregnancy complications such a hydatidiform mole suggests that these...

OBJECTIVE Similarities between rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and atherosclerosis include endothelial dysfunction (an antecedent of plaque formation) and depletion of circulating bone marrow-derived endothelial progenitor cells. This study was undertaken to test the hypothesis that endothelial progenitor cell depletion and subclinical atherosclerosis in RA may be related to accumulation of an endoge...

background: radiation-induced molecular changes on the endothelial surface of brain arteriovenous malformations (avm) may be used as markers for specific vascular targeting agents. in this study, we examined the level of expression of platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (pecam-1) on brain endothelial cell surface after radiation treatment, with the aim of targeting the radiation-induc...

conclusions when evaluating flank pain in patients, it is important to remember that cbc parameters may support urinary stone disease, and considering cbc results may be useful in the diagnosis of urinary stone disease. patients and methods this study was a retrospective observational study of 3,099 patients who were admitted to the urology outpatient clinic or diagnosed with urinary stone dise...

objective: endothelium is a selective and permeable membrane for transferring nutrients and vital components to arterial wall. endothelial damage might lead to altered biological function of endothelium and clinical consequences such as atherosclerosis. blood pressure pulse always exerts circumferential tension to the arterial wall. hence, such tension together with other loads, play important ...

Endothelial cell loss is a key indicator of the quality anterior segment surgery like cataract surgery. The amount and integrity corneal endothelial cells are two most essential factors determining transparency. Aim this study was to compare between superior scleral tunnel incision temporal clear for phacoemulsification. Prospective observational study. This prospective included 50 patients wit...

abstract background and aims. reliable immunohistochemical assays to evaluate the definitive role of mast cells and angiogenesis in the pathogenesis of oral reactive lesions are generally not available. the purpose of the present study was to compare mast cell count (mcc) and microvessel density (mvd) between oral reactive lesions and evaluation of the correlation between mcc and mvd in these l...

BACKGROUND Our aim was to determine if there is a correlation between corneal biomechanical properties, endothelial cell count, and corneal pachymetry in healthy corneas. MATERIAL/METHODS Ninety-two eyes of all subjects underwent complete ocular examination, including intraocular pressure measurement by Goldmann applanation tonometer, objective refraction, and slit-lamp biomicroscopy. Topogra...
