streptococcus iniae is a major cause of serious bacterial infections in both fish and human beings. capsular polysaccharide (cps) of s. iniae is vital to evade phagocytic clearance of the host and serves as an important protective antigen of s. iniae infection in aquatic animals. the cpsdgene was determined to be highly conservative in capsule polysaccharide operon. prokaryotic expression of th...

Anterior megalophthalmos is characterized by megalocornea associated with a very broad anterior chamber and ciliary ring elongation. It is also called X-linked megalocornea. It is accompanied by early development of cataracts, zonular anomalies, and, rarely, vitreoretinal disorders. Subluxation of a cataract can occur in cataract surgery because of zonular weakness. In addition, in most patient...

In this study, to increase information about the relationship between caprine and ovine isolates of Pasteurella multocida, 16S rRNA gene sequencing of 9 goats (5) and sheep (4) isolates were investigated. Also, capsular type and toxAgene presentation was studied in this paper. All isolates, except one, belong to capsular type A, and toxA+ strain distributed among strains were isolated from both...

OBJECTIVE To present a clinical understanding of the role the scapula plays in the mechanics of shoulder function and specialized techniques for the rehabilitation of injuries around the shoulder girdle. BACKGROUND The scapular musculature is often neglected in the evaluation and treatment of shoulder injuries. This lack of attention often degenerates into the incomplete evaluation and rehabi...

purpose: to report a case of capsular bag distension syndrome (cbds) with solid material presenting eight years after cataract surgery. case report: a 58-years-old female who underwent an uneventful clear-cornea phacoemulsification with in-the-bag intraocular lens (iol) implantation in the right eye, presented with a chief complaint of blurred vision (va: 20/200) and cobweb like matter appearin...

The aim is to present the phacoemulsification phaco-chop technique in a patient with pseudoexfoliation (PEX) syndrome without the use of additional pupil dilatation methods. Phacoemulsification surgery and posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation in patients with PEX syndrome is associated with a higher rate of intraoperative complications such as zonular dehiscence, capsular rupture, vi...

Originally the main idea was to obtain a stable patella, i.e., to stabilize the "slipping patella". In the past many conditions like patella alta, ligamentous laxity, PF bone hypoplasia, weakness of the quadriceps muscle, genu valgum or genu recurvatum were thought to predispose to patellar instability. For a long period muscle exercises were instituted to strengthen the weak m.vastus medialis ...

INTRODUCTION Retinitis pigmentosa is clinically characterized by loss of predominantly rod photoreceptor function as well as loss of peripheral vision. The classic clinical triad is considered to be the presence of bone spicule pigmentation in the peripheral retina, arteriolar attenuation, and waxy disc pallor. Cataracts, most commonly of the posterior subcapsular type, are often found in all f...

the aim of this study was to report a new cause of cataract, namely snake bite induced cataract in a dog. a 3-year-old male mongrel dog was referred to our clinic for the assessment of cataract in both eyes. the dog was bitten by a snake nearly 4 months ago. a 40 dioptre acrylic lens with 13 mm haptics was implanted into the lens capsule. in the left eye, posterior synechia was detected in the ...
