Incadendron esseri K.Wurdack & Farfan, gen. & sp. nov., from the wet sub-Andean cordilleras of Ecuador (Cordillera del Cóndor) and Peru (Cusco, Oxapampa) is described and illustrated. This recently discovered large canopy tree with a narrow elevational range presents an unusual combination of rare morphological characters in Hippomaneae including mucilage-secreting sheathing stipules, conduplic...

CASE REPORT We describe a patient diagnosed with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, with a 4 months history of bilateral decreased visual acuity and floaters. On examination, he had severe bilateral vitreous opacity and sectoral diffuse vascular sheathing. It could not be linked to some underlying aetiology and did not respond to oral steroids. CONCLUSIONS Publications relating to ocular findings i...

PURPOSE To report a case of frosted branch angiitis (FBA) secondary to neuro-Behçet. METHODS Description, diagnosis, angiogram imaging and follow-up of a 28-year-old female with FBA. RESULTS 'Frosted branch angiitis' is a clinical term applied to three conditions: infiltration of vessels by malignant cells, and sheathing of vessels either secondary to an active disorder or subsequently to a...

INTRODUCTION Frosted branch angiitis(FBA) is a panuveitis with sheating of all retinal vesssels. CASE PRESENTATION Herein we report an immunocompetent person who presented with fever, headache, atypical rash, and hazy vision. Ophthalmoscopy of both eyes revealed perivascular sheathing with frosted branch angiitis pattern in veins, patchy retinal hemorrhages. Aqueous PCR analysis turned positi...

Severe, white sheathing of the retinal vessels and yellowish-white placoid lesions, suggesting frosted-branch angiitis, were found in both fundi of a 24-year-old woman. Fluorescein angiography showed hypofluorescence of the placoid lesions in the early phase and hyperfluorescence in the late phase. Indocyanine green angiography showed hypofluorescence during all phases. These findings imply an ...

The electtical conductivity existing in electrified clouds is computed under the assumption that a primary positive dipole charge distribution exists within the cloud and that the small ion concentrations are controlled by the rate of ion production from cosmic ray ionization, and by the rates of ion loss from the separate processes of ion recombination, diffusion, and conduction. The results s...
