corneal ulcer is a major cause of blindness throughout the world. when the cornea is injured by foreign particles, there are chances of infection by the organism and development of ulcer. bacterial infection in the cornea is invariably an alteration of the defense mechanism of the outer eye. it is essential to determine the local etiology within a given region when planning a corneal ulcer mana...

purpose: to compare clear corneal incision and scleral tunnel incision in terms of intraocular pressure (iop), post-operative inflammation, induced astigmatism, and corneal edema in phacoemulcification. methods: this non-controlled clinical trial was conducted on 78 eyes with senile cataract. a clear corneal incision was made in 40 eyes and a scleral tunnel incision was made in 38 eyes. all eye...

clinical studies suggest that essential oil of eugenia caryophyllata (clove) buds (eoec) is efficacious in the treatment of dental pain. in the present study, we investigated the analgesic and local anesthetic effects of eoec and its possible mechanisms of action in acute corneal pain in rats. eoec was extracted by hydro-distillation in a clevenger type apparatus from clove buds. the acute corn...

Case  Description- A  3-month-old  female  intact  Boxer  dog  was  presented  to  the  Veterinary  Hospital  of  Shahid Bahonar  University  of  Kerman  with  a  complaint  epiphora,  photophobia  and  corneal  opacity  of  both  eyes.  Clinical Findings-  Ophthalmic  examination  revealed  mild  blepharospasm  and  mucoid  discharge  of  both  eyes,  with  severe  bilateral  chemosis  and  c...

Background and Importance: Our learning curve during two decades of neurosurgical practice has been changed from an abstractive to a more meaningful and conductive state. In cases of fifth nerve neurinoma, pre-operative anatomopathologic diagnosis could lead us to a pre-planned program during and after the surgery to get the safe surgical result. Case Presentation: Representation of two comp...

Recent molecular dynamics simulation results have increased conceptual understanding of the grazing and the ploughing friction at elevated temperatures, particularly near the substrate's melting point. In this commentary we address a major constraint concerning its experimental verification.

We show that there exists an Efimov-like three strand DNA bound state at the duplex melting point and it is described by a renormalization group limit cycle. A nonperturbative renormalization group is used to obtain this result in a model involving short range pairing only. Our results suggest that Efimov physics can be tested in polymeric systems.
