Optical coherence tomography

disease has only been described once by Wong et al in 2012 (5). We are reporting a unique case, of macular hole in adult onset Coats’ disease (6)(7), which was successfully managed with pars plana vitrectomy(PPV) and microscope integrated Optical Coherence Tomography (MI-OCT) assisted internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling to ensure hole closure. Though Wong et al reported on closure of macular hole, they reported delayed hole closure and poor results with conventional management. This case report

In my essay, I’m going to look into how blood spatter analysis is used in processing a crime scene and how useful it is in finding and convicting a suspect. I will look into how important blood spatter analysis is and what it can show within a crime scene. I believe that first I should give a clear definition of blood spatter analysis. It is the examination of shapes, distribution patterns of bloodstains in order to show an interpretation of the physical events that created them. First I’m going

Despite advancements in prevention, diagnosis and treatment, cardiovascular disease (CVD) still remains the leading cause of death in industrialized countries and creates an immense economic burden (Mendis et al., 2011). Of all CVD deaths, coronary heart disease (CHD) and stoke account for more than 80% of deaths (Mendis et al., 2011) with atherosclerosis as a key mechanism of disease (Libby, 2006). There are many known risk factors in the development of atherosclerosis such as age, gender, smoking

MATERIAL AND METHODS This prospective randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted from September 2012 to November 2013 and included patients who underwent microincision cataract surgery (MICS) at the Hospital Virgen de los Lirios. The study recruited 60 eyes of 41 patients. Eligible patients were those aged 65 to 80 with senile cataract and no other concomitant disease that would prevent a postoperative best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 20/40 or better. Exclusion criteria included history

Introduction Multiple Sclerosis is a chronic autoimmune disease that attacks a person Central Nervous System which includes the spinal cord, brain and optic nerves. MS is a very difficult condition to diagnose due to its exacerbations. It also is difficult to treat because no one person has the same signs and symptoms. In MS the myelin sheath that protects the CNS becomes inflamed and scarred that end up causing lesions.. The lesions cause interruption in the messages to the nerves. MS can happen

2. LITERATURE REVIEW 2.1 Glaucoma Glaucoma is not a specific disease but rather a group of diseases characterised by a large variety of clinical and histopathologic signs (Allingham et al., 2012). If left untreated, there is a high chance of becoming blind and loss of vision. The two main types of glaucoma include open angle and angle closure glaucoma. Most of the research done is on primary open angle glaucoma as it is an age-related and can remain undetected until it becomes serious (Weinreb &

The Visian Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL, STAAR Surgical, Nidau, Switzerland), a posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens (IOL), has been widely used and accepted for the correction of high myopia [1]. It has been reported to be safe, effective and reversible approach, but patients must be aware of possible complications, such as lens opacification, endothelial cell loss, increased intraocular pressure (IOP), inflammation and others[2, 3]. The anterior segment parameters are vital to choose

Settings: Faculty of Medicine, Alexandria University, Egypt. Purpose: To assess the influence of axial length (AL) and refractive status of the eye on retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness in myopic eyes measured by spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT). Methods: This study included 60 eyes of 60 healthy myopic individuals. Patients with a history of glaucoma or any other concurrent ocular disease were excluded. The peripapillary RNFL thickness was measured using a Spectralis OCT

CLINICAL APPLICATION OF VEP: Clinically, VEPs are deemed highly useful as it allows an easy detection with objective and reproducible tests and is comparatively cheaper than MRI tests (Leslie et al 2002). FRAGILE X-SYNDROME: Farzin et al (2008) examined low-level cortical visual processing in infants diagnosed with FXS in order to explore the developmental origin of this putative deficit and found that infants with FXS display significantly higher detection thresholds only for the second-order.

Testing The CATANIA™ Coronary Stent System with Polyzene®-F is indicated for patients with coronary heart disease in coronary vessels, this stent can be applied to coronary vessels which diameter range from 2.0 mm to 4.0 mm. The CATANIA™ stent with Polyzene®-F is intended to: 1) in both native coronary arteries and vein bypass grafts, ameliorate the vessel lumen when treating lesions (de novo and restenotic). 2) treat patients with acute & threatened occlusions, whose PTCA interventional treatment
