Purpose To test the hypothesis that macular choroidal thickness is lower in patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PXS) as compared to healthy control subjects. Methods In this cross-sectional, observational study, 38 non-glaucomatous PXS subjects and 37 healthy volunteers were enrolled in a tertiary care Glaucoma Clinic. The macular region was scanned with the enhanced depth imaging (EDI)...

introduction: nowadays the necessity of the existence of a certain width of keratinized gingiva is emphasized upon to maintain periodontal health and prevent soft tissue recession around teeth and dental implants. this study was carried out to compare two gingival graft procedures including connective tissue graft and graft with a combination of collagen sponge with platelet-rich plasma and pla...

Purpose: To compare central corneal thickness (CCT), corneal endothelial cell density, and lens capsule thickness in normotensive patients with and without pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PXS) Methods: This was a prospective, comparative, descriptive study. Normotensive candidates for cataract surgery with (study group) and without (control group) PXS were enrolled in the study. CCT and corneal end...

The electric thickness of the semi-finished radome may not meet the requirement for the electromagnetic performance because it varies with both the geometry thickness and the electric inductivity of the radome. One way to obtain the required value of the electric thickness is to compensate the electric thickness error by modifying the wall thickness of the radome. To this end, a grinding machin...

Background The metabolic enhancement resulted from hyperglycemia in gestational diabetes leads to macrosomia, which can affect the placenta. In gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) pregnant women, the thickness of placenta and cord diameter can change at ages prior to treatment initiation. Therefore, this study was conducted to examine the thickness of placenta an...

Background Pre-eclampsia is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality among pregnant women. This study was done with the objective of measuring abdominal aorta intima-media thickness, serum level of leptin, and lipid profile in neonates of pre-eclampsia mothers and comparing them with neonates of mothers without pre-eclampsia (control group). Materials and Methods Ninety neonates of pre...

PURPOSE To investigate epithelial thickness-distribution characteristics in a large group of keratoconic patients and their correlation to normal eyes employing anterior-segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT). MATERIALS AND METHODS The study group (n=160 eyes) consisted of clinically diagnosed keratoconus eyes; the control group (n=160) consisted of nonkeratoconic eyes. Three separate,...

objective(s) to determine the potential toxic effects of manual soldering flux cored solder wire on lung of the rat as an experimental model. materials and methods a total number of 48 adult male rats were divided into experimental (n= 30) and control (n= 18) groups. based on exposure time to solder fume, each group was further subdivided into 2, 4 and 6 week subgroups. rats of experimental gro...
