purpose: to evaluate the underlying causes of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (rrd) in eyes operated for this reasion. methods: out of 1473 patients who underwent retinal detachment surgery, records of 369 patients were randomly selected and evaluated for the types of retinal breaks, the underlying disorders, and location of breaks. results: fifty-two percents of patients were less than 50 ye...

PURPOSE To evaluate the causes of retinal detachment after silicone oil removal, to define possible risk factors and the anatomical and functional prognosis of this complication. METHODS 112 eyes that underwent silicone oil removal were included. The group of eyes with retinal detachment after oil removal (18/112 eyes, 16.1%) was compared with the group with no postoperative retinal detachmen...

A series of 54 non-myopic aphakic eyes with no signs of posterior vitreous detachment and 63 non-myopic aphakic eyes with various stages of posterior vitreous detachment was followed-up for a period of 6 months to 6 years. Over half of the eyes with no vitreous detachment when first examined developed various stages of posterior vitreous detachment during the follow-up period; in 10 eyes this w...

Cell therapies require the in vitro expansion of adherent cells such as mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs) in bioreactor systems or other culture environments, followed by cell harvest. As hMSCs are strictly adherent cells, cell harvest requires cell detachment. The use of hMSCs for cell therapy requires GMP production in accordance with the guidelines for advanced therapeutic medical products. ...

PURPOSE To determine the risk of new retinal tear or detachment following cataract surgery in eyes that had undergone successful repair of phakic retinal tear or detachment. METHODS A computerized search of records of patients evaluated at the Barnes Retina Institute from 1990 to 2000 for a diagnosis of phakic retinal tear or detachment was accomplished. The records of successfully treated pa...

soil detachment is known as an important process in soil erosion and its quantification is necessary to establish a basic understanding of erosion. this study was carried out to find the best flow erosivity indicator(s) for predicting detachment rate at low slopes. for this purpose, 12 experiments including 6 flow discharges (75, 100, 125, 150, 175 and 200 ml/s) and 2 slope gradients (1.5 and 2...

PURPOSE To determine the retinal features seen on enhanced spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) associated with foveal retinal detachment in eyes with myopic macular retinoschisis. DESIGN Retrospective case series. METHODS We reviewed fundus photographs and conventional and enhanced SD-OCT images of 21 eyes of 19 patients with myopic macular retinoschisis. Features seen on ...
