PURPOSE Little is known about the choroidal circulation in human eyes with ocular hypotony. Recently, indocyanine green angiography (IA) became a useful method for examining choroidal circulation. The present study using IA was designed to determine choroidal circulatory disturbances in patients with traumatic hypotony maculopathy. METHODS Indocyanine green angiography was performed on 3 cons...

High unsteady (acceleration) performance of rainbow trout (L = 14-3 cm) and green sunfish (L = 8-o cm) was studied in response to electric shock stimulus. Acceleration movements were divisible into a preparatory stage 1 and a main propulsive stage 2. Locomotory behaviour varied between faststarts and turning manoeuvres. Taking the centre of mass for the stretched straight body as the reference ...

A 55-year-old man with end-stage renal disease had severe left ventricular dysfunction and a history of deep vein thrombosis. He underwent renal transplantation, during which a central venous catheter was inserted into the right jugular vein. The central venous pressure (CVP) exceeded 20 mmHg throughout the operation but there was no other adverse event. After surgery, although the left ventric...

This paper describes the ultrastructural modifications that cockroach campaniform sensilla undergo at three major stages in the molting cycle and finds that the sensilla are physiological functional at all developmental stages leading to ecdysis. Late stage animals on the verge of ecdysis have two completely separate cuticles. The campaniform sensillum sends a 220-mum extension of the sensory p...

Oxide line patterns were fabricated on the surface of titanium (Ti) film using atomic force microscopy (AFM) tip induced local oxidation technique. The growth behavior of the oxide under static voltages was studied. It was found the lateral growth of the oxide experienced two stages and the growth rate at the initial stage was very high. Pulsed voltages were employed and their effects on the co...

A study concerned with the effects of iron on chlorophyll, acidity, ascorbic acid, and carbohydrate fractions of Ananas comosus was reported in a previous publication (35). Also, the effects of different amounts of potassium on growth and ash constituents of the same plants were reported in a former paper of this series (36). This study is concerned with the effects of potassium on chlorophyll,...

This current study was conducted at Qaha Vegetable Research Farm (Qalubia Governorate), Horticulture Institute, Agriculture Center (A. R. C.), Egypt, during the two winter seasons of 2020/2021 and 2021/2022 on broad bean (Vicia faba L.) plants Weaam cv. The aim this work to investigate influence foliar application paclobutrazol (PBZ) three different doses i.e. 25, 50 75 mg/ L times; vegetative ...
