purpose: to evaluate the effect of phacoemulsification and posterior chamber intraocular lens (pciol) implantation on intraocular pressure (iop) in eyes with chronic angle-closure glaucoma. methods: twenty-two patients with chronic angle-closure glaucoma (cacg) and visually significant cataract were included in our study. all were underwent phacoemulsification and pciol implantation. iop, depth...

introduction: nowadays,  considerable developments  in  the field  of  radiotherapy have  been  achieved.  they  include  the  advances  made  in  the  equipments  and  treatment  planning  techniques  which  require  highly complex calculations. such achievements have made it possible to treat cancer patients not only  with  higher  radiation  dose  but  also  with  higher  precision  and  con...

purpose: to evaluate all cases of drug induced angle closure glaucoma cases who presented to feiz hospital, isfahan during 2008-2010. case report: in this retrospective case series, we present 7 cases of drug induced angle closure glaucoma after administration of topiramate. all patients were female. the average age of patients was 33.28 years old (ranging from 19 to 44). with sufficient cornea...

background: linear and angular measurements such as a point, nasion, b point (anb) angle and wits appraisal index are not accurate enough to evaluate sagittal relationship of the jaws. the aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the range of ì and â angles in 6-17-year-old children of isfahan, having normal occlusion. materials and methods: this was an analytical descriptive study. for th...

measurements of the tilt angle of potential fields can be a useful aid to their interpretation. there are several varieties of the methods in use, such as tilt angle, and the derivative of tilt angle. tilt angle filters are used for exact edge detection of the rectangular bodies artificially by writing a matlab code. the gravity effects of these models are computed by standard algorithms. the e...

abstract   background: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the significance of the q angle with respect to the patella position. we assess the correlation between the q angles (calculated by clinical exam) in different positions and ct indices (with more impression on tttg).   method: atotal number of 68 knee joints of 50 cases entered the study. clinical examination was used to measure q...
