eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (emdr) process encompasses several nervous system components such as medulla, pons, midbrain, cerebellum, basal ganglia, parietal, frontal and occipital lobes. the role of eye movement (em) has been documented previously in relation with cognitive processing mechanisms. by emdr we can reach some parts of memory which were inaccessible before and als...

introduction microbial plaque is the main etiologic factor which causes disease in soft tissue around dental implants. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of plaque on health indicies of soft tissue around dental implants. methods and materials 45 patients with 211 dental implants were examined clinically for four years after prosthodontic treatment. plaque index and health ind...

introduction pterygium is a wing-shaped, vascular, fleshy growth that originates from the conjunctiva and can spread into the corneal limbus and beyond. beta irradiation after bare sclera surgery of primary pterygium is a simple, effective, and safe treatment, which reduces the risk of local recurrence. materials and methods dosimetric components of strontium-90 (90sr), phosphorous-32 (32p), an...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to identify the site(s) of MCMV latency and reactivation in the eye. METHODS Three months after supraciliary inoculation of 5 x 10(2) PFU of MCMV, BALB/c mice underwent immunosuppression with methylprednisolone and antibodies specific for CD4 T cells, CD8 T cells, and NK cells or with methylprednisolone alone. Control mice were infected but did not receiv...

Case 1 (II, 5), James W., aged 72, is bed-ridden with cardiac disease, and does not give a reliable history. Two years ago his Wassermann reaction was negative. Right eye divergent, no perception of light, no red reflex, presumably because of a total detachment of the retina. Immature amber cataract, no signs of iritis. Left eye immature central cataract, good projection of light. Fundus visibl...

PURPOSE Anterior chamber (AC) inoculation of the KOS strain of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) results in morphologic sparing of the ipsilateral retina, whereas the retina of the uninoculated contralateral eye becomes infected and undergoes acute retinal necrosis. Natural killer (NK) cells are an important component of the primary immune response to most virus infections. The purpose of thi...

Purpose: To study peripapillary retinal capillary circulation in eyes treated with iodine 125 (I) plaque brachytherapy for uveal melanoma using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). Design: Cross-sectional study of 10 participants imaged with OCTA before uveal melanoma treatment and 15 participants imaged after development of radiation retinopathy, optic neuropathy, or both. Particip...
