PURPOSE Choroidal detachment is a known complication of topical hypotensive agents when used to treat eyes sensitized by prior surgery. We document the abrupt development of an extensive choroidal detachment after initiation of dorzolamide therapy in a surgically untreated eye with primary open-angle glaucoma. DESIGN Observational case report. METHODS A 76-year-old woman with primary open-a...

Prior studies have shown that intravitreal daunorubicin (9-15 nmol) and triamcinolone acetonide (2 mg) are effective individually in preventing retinal detachment in experimental proliferative vitreoretinopathy. This report compares the efficacy of the combination of daunorubicin (15 nmol) and triamcinolone acetonide (2 mg) with that of daunorubicin alone in a refined experimental model of prol...

VITREOUS detachment is a constant accompaniment and thus a cardinal symptom of retinal detachment, the importance of which is being increasingly stressed by modern authors. It has been indicted as one of the causes of retinal detachment, its action being enhanced by vitreo-retinal adhesions, congenital or acquired. It is less known that all aphakic eyes show some degree of vitreous detachment, ...

A three-dimensional computer model was used to evaluate the effect of chemically mediated detachment on biofilm development in a negligible-shear environment. The model, BacLAB, combines conventional diffusion-reaction equations for chemicals with a cellular automata algorithm to simulate bacterial growth, movement and detachment. BacLAB simulates the life cycle of a bacterial biofilm from its ...

to review the available data regarding the current management of non-complex rhegmatogenous retinal detachment and to propose a new decision-making algorithm aimed to improve the single surgery success rate for mid-severity rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, this study performed. an online review of pubmed database was performed, searching for all available manuscripts regarding anatomical and ...
