Microsurgical trabeculectomy in Ghana.

Microsurgical Training Curriculum for Neurosurgery Residents in Southern Iran

Training of microvascular anastomosis techniques comprise the major part of surgical skills, necessary for revascularization surgeries. Training can be performed in several stages based on the experience of trainees. This should mainly start with various models of artificial materials that simulate tissues. In the next stage, trainee should practice microsurgical skill on a non-living tissue mo...

Combined Phaco Trabeculectomy Vs Combined ECCE Trabeculectomy with IOL Implantation

Results: Postoperative IOP in both groups fell significantly (P=<0.05) below the preoperative medically controlled IOP. At initial 2 months postoperative IOP was almost similar in bothgroups (mean IOP in phacotrab group was 11 mm Hg vs mean IOP in ECCE trab group as 13 mm Hg i.e P= >.050). At 12 months, the IOP in phacotrab group was lower than ECCE trab group. Postoperative visual recovery was...

Quantitative trabeculectomy.

The technique and results of a trabeculectomy are presented where the desired final intraocular pressure (IOP) is obtained by means of adjusting the thickness of sclerocorneal tissue removed to the initial pressure. The procedure was used in 35 eyes with all types of glaucoma and pre-operative pressures of up to 50 mmHg. In 78.3% of cases one operation was sufficient to control the IOP without ...

Natural radioactivity and heavy metal distribution in reservoirs in Ghana

The present paper has determined the radioactivity concentrations, which are due to natural occurrence of radionuclides along with heavy metal concentration in water, sediment, and fish from 2 reservoirs in Ghana. Heavy metal concentrations in all samples were generally within the WHO safe limits with the average activity concentrations of 238U, 232Th, and 40K in water being respectively 0.42±0...
