We report a combination of surgical techniques during Descemet-stripping automated endoithelial keratoplasty and intraocular lens (IOL) exchange in patients with pseudophakic bullous keratopathy and angle-supported anterior chamber IOLs. During this procedure, the anterior chamber IOL is exchanged for a posterior chamber iris-claw IOL enclavated to the posterior iris; the anterior chamber is ke...

DeepVein Thrombosis FollowingDescemet Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty Venous thromboembolism is the secondmost commonmedical complication after surgery.1 The risk factors for development of deepvein thrombosis (DVT) include age, obesity, and diabetesmellitus.1Deepvein thrombosis associatedwithophthalmic surgery, specifically vitreoretinal surgery, has been reported.2 Descemet strip...

Speciation modeling is an essential tool to estimate the chemical composition of an aqueous sample and to assess the bioavailability and potential risks associated with metal contamination. It is also an indispensable alternative for quantifying the metal speciation when analytical techniques are not available. In this study, we tested the effectiveness of two models, WinHumicV and the Non-Idea...

Organic compounds, including MTBE, have been treated in drinking water using AOPs at several sites across the United States over the past five years. The largest system (3,000 gpm) is a medium pressure H 2 O 2 /MP-UV system installed in Salt Lake City, Utah to remove up to 10 µg/L PCE from drinking water (Crawford, 1999). Other systems are installed in Canada for the removal of N-nitroso dimeth...

air cooled blast furnace slag is a by product made of gradually air cooled molten blast furnace slag, and is often stored in stockpiles near the iron mills and usually occupy a wide area around the iron mills. from this perspective the further use of these materials can have its own merits. air cooled blast furnace slag can be used in asphalt mixtures because of their proper frictional properti...

DR. SHERIDAN Prior to ARS, there was ab solutely nothing in the literature pertaining to stripping the proximal surfaces of buccal teeth, because for decades we banded them and these surfaces were covered with metal. That changed abruptly when bonding became the standard. All proximal surfaces became approachable and, therefore, strippable during any stage of treatment. Also, traditional stripp...

The influence of the ligand/metal ion concentration ratio on the shape, peak current and peak potential of curves obtained by anodic stripping voltammetry (a.s.v.) at the hanging mercury drop electrode is described, particularly with respect to the use of a.s.v. for speciation of metal ions at very low concentrations as is often found in natural waters. The lead(II)/triethylenetetramine system ...
