purpose : to report a patient with urrets-zavalia (u-z) syndrome after penetrating keratoplasty (pkp) in both eyes case report : a 22-year-old woman with keratoconus associated with a central full thickness scar in both eyes underwent pkp in her right eye that was postoperatively associated with a fixed dilated pupil and severe fibrin reaction, posterior synechiae and mild anterior sub capsular...

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...

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 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 ...

BACKGROUND 28-43% of the patients develop posterior capsular thickening after extra capsular cataract surgery. Nd-YAG laser capsulatomy is a method of choice to treat this complication. METHOD We conducted a prospective clinical, randomized comparative study to evaluate the post YAG laser IOP rise in 54 patients at Ayub Teaching Hospital Complex. RESULT There were 43% male and 57% female pa...

BACKGROUND MRI analysis of subtalar ligaments in the tarsal sinus has not been well performed. We retrospectively investigated the appearance of subtalar ligaments using 3D isotropic MRI and compared imaging findings of subtalar ligaments between patients with subtalar instability (STI) and controls. METHODS Preoperative MRIs of 23 STI patients treated with arthroscopic subtalar reconstructio...

The first demonstration of transformation (Griffith, 1928) was concerned with type-specific capsular polysaccharides of pneumococci. Such transformations of capsular types usually are accompanied by a change in colony type since most investigators have studied transformation of R cells which produce little or no capsular material. Coiacomitant transformation of capsular and colony type has been...

Capsular contracture is the most common complication following implant based breast surgery and is one of the most common reasons for reoperation. Therefore, it is important to try and understand why this happens, and what can be done to reduce its incidence. A literature search using the MEDLINE database was conducted including search terms 'capsular contracture breast augmentation', 'capsular...
