We interpreted the clinical data from 16 eyes with a 3M multifocal implant and compared them with data from 16 monofocal implants with the same follow-up period. The multifocal implant has several disadvantages: a lower initial visual acuity, a higher frequency of posterior synechiae, and slightly more difficult ophthalmoscopy than with conventional lenses. The great advantage of the multifocal...

In multifocal findings, the possibility of multifocal osteoid osteomas should be considered and this case helps us to be attentive for the unusual radiographical presentation of osteoid osteoma.

AIMS To compare tritan colour contrast sensitivity (CCS), without and with glare, in patients with refractive multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) and with monofocal intraocular lenses. METHODS Tritan CCS was determined (Moorfields Vision System, CH Electronics) in 15 eyes (14 patients, 75.7 (+/-6.6) years) with a refractive multifocal IOL (Allergan SA 40N) and in 11 eyes (10 patients, 73.7 (...

a 10-year-old boy was referred to us for evaluation of fuo accompanied with bone pain in both calves. three hours after intravenous injection of 13 mci of 99mtc-mdp, whole body scan in multiple spot views was performed. the scan showed symmetrical areas of diffusely increased tracer uptake in multiple long bones. histopathologic evaluation confirmed osteosclrosis and fibrotic changes without an...

purpose : to evaluate the effect of intraviteral bevacizumab (ivb) in diabetic macular edema (dme), using multifocal electroretinography (mferg) methods : sixty-four eyes of 32 patients with bilateral symmetric clinically significant macular edema (csme) were included in the study. after taking a baseline mferg, macular photocoagulation (mpc) was done in all eyes. after 7 days, 1.25 mg of bevac...

AIMS To calculate the diameter of halos perceived by patients with multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) and to stimulate halos in patients with refractive multifocal IOLs in a clinical experiment. METHODS Calculations were done to show the diameter of halos in the case of the bifocal intraocular lens. 24 patients with a refractive multifocal IOLs and five patients with a monofocal IOL were as...

Neuroendocrine tumors of the enteropancreatic axis are often multifocal. We have investigated whether multifocal intestinal carcinoid tumors and multifocal pancreatic endocrine tumors arise independently or whether they originate from a single clone with subsequent intramural or intrapancreatic spread. Twenty-four cases, including 16 multifocal intestinal carcinoid tumors and eight multifocal p...

A 34-year-old female with a 14-year history of multifocal fibrosclerosis developed the nephrotic syndrome due to renal amyloidosis. Although the association between chronic inflammatory processes and amyloidosis is well known, this is the first report of amyloidosis occurring in a patient with multifocal fibrosclerosis. Other interesting features of this case are the involvement of subcutaneous...

BACKGROUND Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy is a severe demyelinating disease caused by the polyoma JC virus in patients with reduced immunocompetence. A few cases of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy have been reported in patients treated with fumaric acid esters. CASE PRESENTATION A 53-year-old Caucasian woman reported to our clinic with a first focal epileptic seizure an...
