BACKGROUND To describe the prevalence and associations of posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) in a rural adult Chinese population. METHODS All eligible subjects were requested to carry out a comprehensive eye examination; PVD was a pre-specified outcome variable and was determined via biomicroscopical examination (slit-lamp biomicroscopy) with a +90-D preset lens after mydriasis. Prevalence w...

Transl Androl Urol, 2015;4(S1) www.amepc.org/tau because no proper tool to evaluate PVD even though many patients with benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) complained the PVD clinically. This study is to assess the correlation between PVD & ED in men with LUTS. Methods: From October 2014 to February 2015, one hundred twelve patients were ...

OBJECTIVE The epidemiology of peripheral vascular disease has rarely been studied in non-European populations. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence and risk factors of peripheral vascular disease (PVD) among South Indians. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The Chennai Urban Population Study is an epidemiological study involving 2 residential areas in Chennai in South India. Of ...

Many chronic diseases are associated with dizziness or vertigo, as is peripheral vestibular disorder (PVD). Although carotid plaque development is linked to atherosclerosis, it is unclear whether such plaques can lead to the development of PVD. We therefore conducted this study to investigate the presence of an association between carotid plaque and new PVD events.In this retrospective study, w...

Background. The role of lipoprotein disturbances in the development of peripheral vascular disease (PVD) has not been sufficiently clarified. Methods and Results. The relations among concentrations of intermediate density lipoproteins (IDL), apoprotein (apo) B, apo E, and other lipoproteins were studied in 102 men with PVD and 100 healthy men who formed the control group. Patients with PVD had ...

OBJECTIVES In patients with familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH), the prevalence of haemodynamically significant peripheral vascular disease (PVD) was measured in relation to lipoproteins, general risk factors and the presence of coronary artery disease (CAD). DESIGN A case control study. SETTING The outpatient lipid clinic of a university hospital (tertiary referral centre). SUBJECTS Pati...

Ceramic Thermal Barrier Coatings (TBCs) on superalloy components are being used successfully in land-based gas turbine and aircraft engines. These coatings are generally made by either air plasma spraying (APS) or electron beam physical vapour deposition (EB-PVD). In general, EB-PVD TBCs have superior durability due to the columnar structure, but they are very expensive compared to APS TBCs. EB...

This report reviews current knowledge of the ultrastructural features of the vitreoretinal juncture in its normal state, in eyes with posterior vitreous detachment (PVD), and in eyes with epiretinal membranes (ERM's) and then presents new concepts concerning the interrelationship of ERM's and the vitreous. Results show no vitreous residues on retinal surface following uncomplicated rhegmatogeno...

PURPOSE To report the incidence of posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) after uneventful state-of-the-art small-incision phacoemulsification with implantation of a posterior chamber intraocular lens (PC IOL). SETTING Department of Ophthalmology, Ludwigshafen Hospital, Ludwigshafen, Germany. METHODS This prospective study evaluated the vitreous status of eyes by biomicroscopic examination, in...

PURPOSE To assess optical coherence tomography (OCT) for diagnosing posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) at the macular region compared to kinetic B-scan ultrasonography. METHODS In the present study, the authors prospectively investigated the frequency of PVD at the posterior pole utilizing ocular kinetic B-mode sonography in 315 eyes of 188 patients (113 female, 75 male; mean age, 72.8 years...
