purpose: to demonstrate an approach to the problems of cataract surgery in extensive iridoschisis methods: four eyes of 2 patients with extensive iridoschisis had cataract surgery by the same surgeon using the techniques that resembled techniques for phacoemulsification in intraoperative floppy iris syndrome (ifis). we used low flow parameters on phacoemulsification, used super-cohesive ophthal...

iris recognition is one of the most reliable methods for identification. in general, itconsists of image acquisition, iris segmentation, feature extraction and matching. among them, iris segmentation has an important role on the performance of any iris recognition system. eyes nonlinear movement, occlusion, and specular reflection are main challenges for any iris segmentation method. in this pa...

The objective of this work was to screen the EU-regulated lipophilic and cyclic imine toxins in four bivalve species (Atrina vexillum, Pinctada imbricata, Anadara antiquata, Saccostrea Cucculata) from Mozambican coast Indian Ocean. Toxins were extracted analyzed according EU reference method for determination shellfish via LC–MS/MS, but no regulated found species. However, pinnatoxins (PnTX G, ...

Segregation analysis on 228 family pedigrees collected from a Papua New Guinean population provided data that strongly supported a previous report of an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance of a susceptibility to tinea imbricata. The frequency of the susceptibility gene within the population studied was found to be 0.49 +/- 0.04, calculated on the assumption of an autosomal recessive mode...

BACKGROUND Several studies have shown that the corpus luteum is the principal source of progesterone during the gravidity period in reptiles; however, its participation in the maintenance of gestation in the viviparous squamata is in dispute. The effects of ovariectomy or luteectomy vary according to the species and the time at which the procedure is performed. In this paper, we describe the ef...
