PURPOSE To compare various biometric parameters between fellow eyes of acute primary angle closure (glaucoma) [APAC(G)] and fellow eyes of chronic primary angle closure (glaucoma) [CPAC(G)]. METHODS Ultrasound biomicroscopy examinations were performed on 47 patients with unilateral APAC(G) and 41 patients with asymmetric CPAC(G) before laser peripheral iridotomy and pilocarpine treatment. Ant...

The genus Dolomedes Latreille, 1804 present a very wide range of distribution on every continent except Antarctica (Platnick 2013) However, only one species has been reported from Madagascar, Dolomedes saccalavus Strand, 1907, which is unfortunately based on a juvenile specimen and was destroyed in wartime. We consider this a nomen dubium. In this work, one new species of Dolomedes Latreille, 1...

purpose : to evaluate the near visual performance of an accommodative intraocular lens (iol) tetraflex, in comparison to a standard monofocal foldable iol in cataract surgery. setting: eye research center , farabi eye hospital , department of ophthalmology, tehran university of medical sciences, iran . methods : forty six eyes of 23 patients with cataract underwent phacoemulsification and accom...

PURPOSE To investigate, through ultrasound biomicroscopy images, the presence of plateau iris configuration in eyes with narrow-angle from patients with open-angle glaucoma and in eyes with previous acute primary angle-closure and compare the biometric features of eyes with plateau iris configuration with those of normal eyes. METHODS Ultrasound biomicroscopic images from 196 patients with op...

PURPOSE To investigate the correlation between peripheral anterior synechia (PAS) and the quantitative anterior chamber angle parameters measured by ultrasound microscopy (UBM) in angle-closure glaucoma suspect (ACGS) eyes. METHODS Eyes were defined ACGS as having occludable angles and intraocular pressure less than 21 mm Hg without glaucomatous optic nerve head. The gonioscopic criteria for ...

PURPOSE To compare morphometric features between fellow acute primary angle-closure (APAC) eyes and glaucomatous or suspect eyes with narrow angle (NA). METHODS Fellow eyes of 30 patients with unilateral APAC and 30 with NA were evaluated by ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) under light and dark conditions. UBM parameters such as anterior chamber depth (ACD), angle opening distance at 250 microm...

We prove that the range of exponents in Mockenhaupt’s restriction theorem for Salem sets (Geom Funct Anal 10:1579–1587, 2000), with the endpoint estimate due to Bak and Seeger (Math Res Lett 18:767–781, 2011), is optimal.

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to determine whether obesity is associated with less postural stability in young adults, and whether it is influenced by anterior pelvic tilt angle and sensory dysfunction. METHODS Center of gravity (COG) velocity and total sway distance with eyes open or eyes closed on firm or foam floors were determined in 12 obese individuals and 12 individuals with...

PURPOSE To compare the morphology of the anterior chamber angle (ACA) and iris in eyes with pseudoexfoliation (PEX) syndrome to that of their clinically unaffected fellow eyes and normal control eyes. METHODS Forty-two patients with unilateral PEX syndrome and 42 normal subjects were studied. Eyes were separated into those with PEX, their clinically unaffected fellow eyes, and normal eyes. Th...

The spider genus Dendrolycosa Doleschall, 1859 was recently revised by Jäger (2011), who described four new species and now comprises 15 known species found from Tanzania to Phillipines and south to New Caledonia (Platnick 2012). Ten of the 15 Dendrolycosa species are known only from females and two only from males. In the present paper, the male of Dendrolycosa cruciata (Roewer, 1955) is descr...
