purpose: to report the outcomes of manual lamellar keratoplasty (lkp) in patients with delayed-onset mustard gas keratitis (mgk) and compare visual outcomes between subgroups with simultaneous or sequential klal and lkp. methods: in this retrospective, interventional study, 52 eyes of 37 male survivors of chemical warfare with mgk who underwent lkp were included. the results were evaluated with...

Objective Compare the thickness of conjunctival autografts in pterygium surgery using Moscovici dissection technique with manual and assess difficulty techniques. Methods In this randomized clinical trial, 30 eyes patients undergoing were divided into Dissection Technique Group Manual Group. The treated at Hospital Oftalmológico Visão Laser (Santos, São Paulo, Brazil). Optical coherence tomogra...

of growth and development as the chief features which distinguish infants and children from adults. This section includes somewhat diverse subdivisions on disturbances of growth, constitutional signs and symptoms such as fever and edema, symptoms referable to particular systems such as the urinary tract, and symptoms related to sexual development and to intellectual retardation. Within each sub...

BACKGROUND Dissection of specific Areas Of Interest (AOIs) of slide-mounted tumor samples is often used to enrich for cancer cells in order to generate better signal to noise ratios in subsequent biochemical characterization. Most clinical laboratories utilize manual dissection for practical reasons and to avoid the expense and difficulties of laser microdissection systems. Unfortunately, manua...

The grading of farmed animal carcasses depends on the content of lean meat, fat and bone. Current imaging technologies are able to detect and represent carcass composition in images. To extract information from these images, specialized image processing techniques are required. In this paper, we propose a new segmentation method to accurately separate lean meat, fat and bone from a set of image...

PURPOSE To compare the predictability of intrastromal tunnel depth creation for intrastromal corneal ring segments (ICRS) implantation between manual dissection and femtosecond laser using a high-resolution anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT). METHODS This multicenter study included patients with keratoconus who had Ferrara-type ICRS implantation at Hospital de Braga using ...

PURPOSE To compare the visual outcomes of deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) for keratoconus with and without successful big-bubble formation. METHODS In this retrospective comparative study, a total of 289 consecutive eyes from 257 patients underwent DALK using the big-bubble technique. In cases where the big bubble could not be accomplished, manual stromal dissection down to Desceme...
