We thank Jonas for their interest in our article. They raised a question about whether the shortening of the papillofoveal distance after inner limiting membrane (ILM) peeling for diabetic macular edema (DME) depends on the shift of the neural retina on the RPE sheet or the sliding of Bruch’s membrane on the spongy choroid. Several forces or membranes might contribute to the globe morphologies ...

PURPOSE To assess the selectivity of brilliant blue G (BBG) staining by analysing the morphological components of unstained and stained tissue obtained during epiretinal membrane (ERM) removal with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling in BBG-assisted macular surgery. METHODS Twenty-six surgical specimens were removed from 13 eyes with epiretinal gliosis during vitrectomy using BBG for ERM...

This research aimed to increase functional value of broiler-chicken meat containing high antioxidant and low cholesterol through substitution of soybean meal (SBM) with Indigofera zollingeriana top leaf meal (ILM). The experiment used 160 day old broiler chicken (Cobb strain). The experimental chicken were provided dietary treatments when they were 15-days old (initial body weight of 460.5±1.56...

In response to student feedback and in line with the concept of ‘guided discovery learning’, we designed an independent learning manual (ILM) to support students over the course of their first major clinical placement. In particular, the ILM was introduced to facilitate the development of clinical reasoning skills, and encourage independent learning and self-reflection. The manual was issued to...

purpose : to study optical coherence tomography (oct) findings in high myopic patients with the history of uncomplicated cataract surgery methods : the sample included 34 eyes of 24 highly myopic patients with an axial length (al) of 26 mm or more and a spherical equivalent (se) of 8.0 diopter (d) or more who had uncomplicated phacoemulsification cataract surgery. octs were done in multiple sec...

PURPOSE To compare vascular displacement in the macula after surgical closure of idiopathic macular hole (MH) after single-layered inverted internal limiting membrane (ILM) flap technique and conventional ILM removal. METHODS This retrospective study included patients who underwent either vitrectomy and ILM removal only or vitrectomy with single-layered inverted ILM flap for idiopathic MH lar...

La llegada de menores migrantes al sur España lleva en crecimiento desde hace años. Asimismo, ya algunas décadas, se recurre a la mediación intercultural (MI) para dar respuesta las necesidades comunicación sociedad. Sin embargo, precariedad y falta reconocimiento esta profesión conllevan aparición formas no profesionales, como es el caso intermediación lingüística por parte (ILM). Este estudio...

The inner limiting membrane (ILM) is the basement membrane of the Müller cells and can act as a scaffold for cellular proliferation in the pathophysiology of disorders affecting the vitreomacular interface. The atraumatic removal of the macular ILM has been proposed for treating various forms of tractional maculopathy in particular for macular pucker. In the last decade, the removal of ILM has ...
