Purpose This study was designed to develop and characterize a laser-induced model of acute intraocular hypertension that permits the study of the anterior segment of the eye. Methods CD1 mice aged 5 and 8 weeks were examined for elevation of IOP induced by laser photocoagulation. We compared between occlusion of episcleral veins alone and when combined with 270° limbal vessel occlusion. Anter...

Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has been widely used, but surgical resections of superior sulcus tumours remain challenging because of their anatomical location. For such cases, less-invasive procedures, such as the anterior transcervical-thoracic and transmanubrial approaches, have been widely performed because of their excellent visualization of the subclavian vessels. Recently, a...

purpose: to compare anterior segment and ocular biometric parameters of unaffected fellow eyes of patients with a previous attack of acute angle closure (aac), primary angle closure suspect (pacs) eyes, and normal eyes; and to assess the risk of developing aac in pacs. methods: in this prospective comparative observational case series, 16 unaffected fellow eyes of patients with a previous attac...

STUDY DESIGN A systematic quantitative review of the literature. OBJECTIVE To compare combined anterior-posterior surgery versus posterior surgery for thoracolumbar fractures in order to identify better treatments. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Axial load of the anterior and middle column of the spine can lead to a burst fracture in the vertebral body. The management of thoracolumbar burst fra...

Objective: The study aims to explore the clinical effect of open reduction surgery for anterior dislocation of the shoulder combined with surgical neck fracture of humerus of badminton athletes. Methods: Clinical data of 2000 patients with anterior dislocation of the shoulder combined with surgical neck fracture of humerus admitted in our hospital from June 2012 to June 2014 were analyzed retro...

BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate the validity of modified laminoplasty in treating close-base OPLL with an occupying ratio of more than 60%. MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty-seven close-base OPLL patients with an occupying ratio of more than 60% were treated through modified laminoplasty (N=22) and combined anterior-posterior approach (N=25) in the study, including 17 females and 30 males, wit...
