among 14,102 patients admitted in teaching hospitals of the isfahan medical school, whose records were studied, 2,122 or 15.4% of patients had high blood pressure. the most common reason for blood pressure in this group was diseases of the kidney and for those, glomerolonephritis and pilonephrititis were important causes. among patients under 30 years old, high blood pressure was twice as commo...

The relationship between membrane permeability, changes in ultrastructure, and inactivation in Escherichia coli strain K-12TG1 cells subjected to high hydrostatic pressure treatment at room and subzero temperatures was studied. Propidium iodide staining performed before and after pressure treatment made it possible to distinguish between reversible and irreversible pressure-mediated cell membra...

PURPOSE To evaluate the technique, safety, and efficacy of the retropupillary implantation of iris-claw intraocular lenses in a long-term follow-up study. PATIENTS AND METHODS This retrospective study included 31 eyes of 31 patients who underwent an Artisan aphakic intraocular lens implantation between January 2006 and February 2011 at the University Hospital Essen, Essen, Germany and at the ...

Not only did diffuse loss mean deviation appear, but abnormal areas appeared with high intraocular pressure in the present patient. If corneal edema affected visual field, only diffuse loss would occur. Refractive error was corrected at examination of FDT. Good visual acuity was maintained under high intraocular pressure. In conclusion, FDT perimetry may show intraocular pressure–dependent, rev...
