PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of pupillary dilation on the Haigis formula-calculated intraocular lens (IOL) power and ocular biometry measurements by using IOLMaster(®). METHODS A prospective study was performed for biometry measurements of 373 eyes of 192 healthy subjects using the IOLMaster at the outpatient department of King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital f...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Posterior fossa malformations are a common finding in prenatal diagnosis. The objectives of this study are to re-evaluate existing normal MR imaging biometric data of the fetal posterior fossa, suggest and evaluate new parameters, and demonstrate the possible clinical applications of these data. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a retrospective review of 215 fetal MR imagi...

OBJECTIVE To develop a model based on maternal characteristics and medical history (maternal factors) for the prediction of delivery of large-for-gestational-age (LGA) neonates, and to examine the potential value of first-, second- and third-trimester fetal biometry and biomarkers in improving such a model. METHODS This was a screening study in 76 300, 54 999, 25 727 and 6181 singleton pregna...

OBJECTIVES To assess the value of single and serial fetal biometry for the prediction of small- (SGA) and large-for-gestational-age (LGA) neonates delivered preterm or at term. METHODS A cohort study of 3,971 women with singleton pregnancies was conducted from the first trimester until delivery with 3,440 pregnancies (17,334 scans) meeting the following inclusion criteria: 1) delivery of a li...

In this research, the nutritional effects of Sargassum ilicifolium Chabahar Bay, Oman Sea, on cholesterol levels of white-leg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) were studied. The seaweed was collected from coastal areas, rinsed, dried, powdered and the nutritional values were measured in the laboratory. A part of protein resources of shrimp feed replaced with seaweed powder in four treatments (D: as...
