In primates, females typically drive the evolution of the social system and present a wide diversity of social structures. To understand this diversity, it is necessary to document the consistency and/or flexibility of female social structures across and within species, contexts, and environments. Macaques (Macaca sp.) are an ideal taxon for such comparative study, showing both consistency and ...

We report a combination of surgical techniques during Descemet-stripping automated endoithelial keratoplasty and intraocular lens (IOL) exchange in patients with pseudophakic bullous keratopathy and angle-supported anterior chamber IOLs. During this procedure, the anterior chamber IOL is exchanged for a posterior chamber iris-claw IOL enclavated to the posterior iris; the anterior chamber is ke...

CASE REPORT The first case is described on a patient with Urrets-Zavalía syndrome after Descemet Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSAEK) in whom an ExPRESS implant was used. DISCUSSION The ExPRESS implant is a useful tool for complex cases of post-surgical glaucoma where patients need to avoid post-operative inflammation and risks (corneal transplant patients). It is also very us...

PURPOSE To describe a simple technique that uses posterior chandelier illumination during Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty in cases of severe bullous keratopathy (BK). METHODS Five eyes of 4 patients with advanced BK undergoing Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty were retrospectively analyzed. The pupil of the host eye was not treated with mydriatic or miotic agents. The chan...
