purpose: to evaluate the anatomical and functional outcomes of surgical management of retinal detachments associated with choroidal colobomas methods: in this retrospective study, 31 eyes of 31 patients with coloboma-related retinal detachments enrolled. all the eyes underwent standard three-port pars plana vitrectomy with internal tamponade with nonheavy silicon oil in 24 (77.4%) or 20% sulfur...

purpose: to compare the anatomical results of scleral buckling surgery with and without retinopexy in the management of phakic rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (rd). methods: in this retrospective, nonrandomized, interventional, comparative case series, data of 71 phakic eyes of 71 patients with rhegmatogenous rd that had undergone scleral buckling were evaluated. the procedure in 41 consecuti...

the purpose of this study was to compare the anatomic and visual outcome of primary vitrectomy with scleral buckling in patients with retinal detachment following cataract surgery. fifty-six consecutive patients with retinal detachment after cataract surgery were randomly assigned to two treatment groups: standard scleral buckling and standard three-port deep vitrectomy. successful treatment wa...

Structural and thermochronological data from the Sulu terrane of eastern China document the exhumation of high-pressure and ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) metamorphic rocks to upper-crustal depths by ca. 206 Ma. 40Ar/39Ar ages from K-bearing phases record recrystallization and cooling through amphiboliteand upper greenschist– facies conditions during top-to-the-NW noncoaxial shear and suggest cooling...

Abstract Carbonation of mantle rocks during exhumation is reported in present-day oceanic settings, both at mid-ocean ridges and ocean-continent transitions (OCTs). However, the hydrothermal conditions carbonation (i.e., fluid sources, thermal regimes) remain poorly constrained. We focus on an exceptionally well-preserved fossil OCT where have been exhumed carbonated along a detachment fault fr...

the aim of this study was to determine the most suitable shaking frequency and amplitude for shake harvesting esfahan's edible fig (ficus carica cv. sabz). a hand held limb shaker with adjustable shaking frequency and amplitude was used for this study. a 3x3 factorial experiment with three levels of oscillating frequency (10, 12 and 14 hz) and three levels of shaking amplitude (20, 32.5 and 45 ...
