optical rehabilitation of the patient with aphakia who cannot tolerate contact lenses present a therapeutic challenge. in the absence of capsular support, anterior chamber lenses have been widely used. on the other hand intraocular lens implantation of scleral sutured posterior chamber intraocular lens during penterating keratoplasty or insufficient iris support is recommended. the purpose of t...

reed warbler here and never an icterine, a bird whose notes are firmly fixed in my head. The Norfolk coast, in addition to furnishing breeding grounds for some large colonies of terns, is a good place to see migrants, many of which find temporary shelter in the low growth on the saltings and sandhills. Sometimes, especially in foggy weather, a hold-up of migrants occurs. This autumn, for instan...

In this letter, we investigate the ergodic capacity of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based free space optics (FSO) links over random foggy channel. More specifically, derive composite probability density function (PDF) and close approximation for moments PDF using statistical model a UAV-based 3D pointing error With it, obtain upper bound asymptotic two possible detection techniques intensity m...

Background: Epidemiological studies show that computed tomography (CT) is one of the main sources of ionizing radiations. Shielding of radiosensitive organs is one of the dose reduction methods. This study aimed to assess the eye lens dose reduction and image quality resulting from the use of radio-protective bismuth shield in brain CT imaging. Methods: Bismut...

acanthamoeba keratitis is a vision-threatening infection caused by pathogenic species of the genus acanthamoeba. in this study, 13 acanthamoeba keratitis cases were diagnosed among 52 keratitis patients. to confirm the identity of acanthamoeba at the genus level, a pcr-based method was used, and their pathogenic potential was determined using in vitro cytotoxicity assays on human corneal epithe...

purpose : acanthamoeba keratitis (ak) is a sight-threatening corneal infection with a rapidly increased incidence since 1990s along with the growing popularity of contact lenses. in this study we aimed to study patients with ak and its associated risk factors in farabi eye hospital of tehran, focusing on those with more severe corneal involvement. methods : patients with clinical or laboratory ...

purpose : to report clinical and pathological features of three cases of opacification with hydrophilic acrylic intraocular lenses (iols) case reports : in this interventional case report, we introduce the surgical and laboratory information about three hydrophilic acrylic iols which calcified after implantation for these patients with cataract. these lenses were explanted and analyzed with opt...
