Mentally distancing oneself from work during nonwork time can help restore resources lost because of work demands. In this study, we examined possible outcomes of such psychological detachment from work, specifically well-being and job performance. Although employees may need to mentally detach from work to restore their well-being, high levels of detachment may require a longer time to get bac...

OBJECTIVE To report three cases of delayed choroidal detachment after treatment with topical prostaglandin analogs. MATERIAL AND METHOD Intervention three case reports. Four eyes of three patients with chronic angle closure glaucoma developed choroidal detachment after using topical prostaglandin analogs. RESULTS Three patients with chronic angle closure glaucoma developed chroidal detachme...

Purpose To report a case of a Descemet membrane's (DM) detachment after radial keratotomy (RK). Methods A patient (male) underwent RK (16 cuts) 20 years before referring to the Eye Center of Humanitas (Milan) for a progressive visual loss. The slit-lamp examination showed severe corneal stromal edema and a large DM detachment in the lower half of the cornea. Anterior segment optical coherence...

RATIONALE To report a case of late spontaneous reattachment of Descemet membrane (DM) detachment after deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK). PATIENT CONCERNS A 50-year-old woman with stromal corneal scarring underwent a DALK with the big bubble technique. The DM detachment and double anterior chamber were observed on the first day after operation. DIAGNOSES Descemet membrane detachmen...

PURPOSE Choroidal detachment is a known complication of topical hypotensive agents when used to treat eyes sensitized by prior surgery. We document the abrupt development of an extensive choroidal detachment after initiation of dorzolamide therapy in a surgically untreated eye with primary open-angle glaucoma. DESIGN Observational case report. METHODS A 76-year-old woman with primary open-a...

Prior studies have shown that intravitreal daunorubicin (9-15 nmol) and triamcinolone acetonide (2 mg) are effective individually in preventing retinal detachment in experimental proliferative vitreoretinopathy. This report compares the efficacy of the combination of daunorubicin (15 nmol) and triamcinolone acetonide (2 mg) with that of daunorubicin alone in a refined experimental model of prol...

VITREOUS detachment is a constant accompaniment and thus a cardinal symptom of retinal detachment, the importance of which is being increasingly stressed by modern authors. It has been indicted as one of the causes of retinal detachment, its action being enhanced by vitreo-retinal adhesions, congenital or acquired. It is less known that all aphakic eyes show some degree of vitreous detachment, ...

A three-dimensional computer model was used to evaluate the effect of chemically mediated detachment on biofilm development in a negligible-shear environment. The model, BacLAB, combines conventional diffusion-reaction equations for chemicals with a cellular automata algorithm to simulate bacterial growth, movement and detachment. BacLAB simulates the life cycle of a bacterial biofilm from its ...
