Exfoliation syndrome (XFS) is an age-related disorder of the extracellular matrix that leads the production of abnormal fibrillar material that leads to elevated intraocular pressure and a relatively severe glaucoma. Exfoliation material is deposited in numerous ocular tissues and extraocular organs. XFS is associated with ocular ischemia, cerebrovascular disease, neurodegenerative disease and ...

Graphene has attracted intense interest due to its exceptional physical and chemical properties as well as its wide potential applications. For applications of two-dimensional graphene, commercially viable sources are necessary. Liquid-phase exfoliation graphite is one of the most promising economical mothed for the mass production of graphene. A number of methods have been developed to achieve...

Understanding and exploiting the remarkable optical and electronic properties of phosphorene require mass production methods that avoid chemical degradation. Although solution-based strategies have been developed for scalable exfoliation of black phosphorus, these techniques have thus far used anhydrous organic solvents in an effort to minimize exposure to known oxidants, but at the cost of lim...

AIM To study the course of exfoliation and simplex glaucoma with respect to intraocular pressure (IOP) regulation and visual field survival after primary trabeculectomy. METHODS Postoperative IOP regulation and complications were analysed prospectively in 95 patients. Mean follow up was 46 months. Visual field survival was studied by high pass resolution perimetry (HRP) in a subsample of 28 p...

purpose: to compare body mass index (bmi) in patients with exfoliation syndrome (xfs) and a matched control group. methods: in a cross-sectional study, 84 patients with xfs (xfs group) and 84 persons without xfs (control group) were matched for sex and age and selected sequentially. bmi was compared in the two groups. patients with xfs with or without glaucoma and other complications were inclu...

polymer/clay nanocomposites are considered as a new subject of research in iran and the world. addition of a minimum amount of clay (2-5wt%) can improve the mechanical properties, enhance barrier properties and reduce flammability dramatically. polystyrene (ps) exhibits high strength, high modulus and excellent dimensional stability, but it has poor ductility, elongation, and flexural modulus. ...

Previous studies have shown that the exfoliation of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) is essential to obtain materials with good photocatalytic properties. However, in most works influence exfoliation...

A synthesis route is presented for the subsequent intercalation, exfoliation and surface modification of kaolinite (Kln) by an imidization reaction of high-molecular weight poly(styrene-co-maleic anhydride) or SMA in the presence of ammonium hydroxide. In a first step, the intercalation of ammonolyzed SMA by guest displacement of intercalated dimethylsulfoxide has been proven. In a second step,...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Exfoliation syndrome is characterized by the production and accumulation of abnormal extracellular material in many ocular and extraocular tissues. The aim of the present prospective case-control clinical study was to evaluate the effect of exfoliation syndrome on prevalence and severity of sensorineural hearing loss. MATERIALS AND METHODS In the study participated 9...

PURPOSE Previous studies have described a possible association between exfoliation syndrome (EX) and various ocular and systemic vascular disorders; however, the association between EX and branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) remains unclear. Because slit-lamp examination may overlook latent deposits of exfoliation materials, an ocular biopsy is usually needed for a precise diagnosis. We evalua...
