Résumé. Using a high speed camera, we study the peeling dynamics of an adhesive tape under a constant load with a special focus on the so-called stick-slip regime of the peeling. It is the first time that the very fast motion of the peeling point is imaged. The speed of the camera, up to 16000 fps, allows us to observe and quantify the details of the peeling point motion during the stick and sl...

Observations: Peeling skin syndrome is a very rare autosomal recessive disease characterized by widespread painless peeling of the skin in superficial sheets. We present a 31-year-old man with a lifelong history of continuous, spontaneous, asymptomatic generalized peeling skin. Histologically, there was epidermal separation at the level of stratum corneum, just above the stratum granulosum. The...

We conducted a meta-analysis of published retrospective studies and compared the effectiveness of pars plana vitrectomy with and without internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling for idiopathic epiretinal membrane (IERM). The results revealed that patients in the IERM+ILM peeling group had better BCVA after surgery within 12 months than those in IERM peeling group. But patients in the IERM peeli...

OBJECTIVE To compare the anatomical and visual outcomes of primary idiopathic macular hole surgery using indocyanine green-assisted internal limiting membrane peeling versus no internal limiting membrane peeling. DESIGN Prospective randomised controlled clinical trial. SETTING University teaching hospital, Hong Kong. PATIENTS Fifty-one eyes of 49 Chinese patients with primary idiopathic m...

Background: Benign pigmented lesions, including freckles, are common and various treatment modalities including lasers and peeling have been evaluated for their effectiveness in their treatment.Objective: To compare the clinical effects of focal peeling with Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) and Nd:YAG (532 nm) laser on freckles.Methods: Twenty patients with freckles were treated with foca...

This paper describes a method for modeling the natural peeling phenomenon over any 3D surface. Using crack input data—precomputed with a semi-physical solution—this method allows simulating peeling on any type of triangulated 3D object. Our model’s main advantage is that it proposes an method that is intuitive enough to make it easy to understand and convenient to apply, user controllable, and ...

Epiretinal membranes are commonly encountered in retinal practice, and they result in decreased vision. The present work addresses whether peeling of the internal limiting membrane is necessary during vitrectomy for macular pucker. We performed a retrospective analysis to investigate the effects of "single peeling," in which only the epiretinal membrane was peeled, and "double peeling," in whic...

AIMS To compare the retinal sensitivity and frequency of microscotomas found by spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) combined with scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (SLO) microperimetry after idiopathic macular hole closure, in eyes that underwent internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling and eyes that did not. METHODS This was a retrospective, non-randomised, comparative study. C...

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...

Peeling skin syndrome is a very rare autosomal recessive disease characterized by widespread painless peeling of the skin in superficial sheets. Etiology is still unknown with an autosomal recessive inheritance. Less than 100 cases have been reported in the medical literature. We present a 32-year-old man having asymptomatic peeling of skin since birth. Sheets of skin were peeling from his neck...
