A new preservative-free fixed-dose combination of 0.0015% tafluprost, a prostaglandin F2α analog, and 0.5% timolol (TAF/TIM; Santen Oy, Tampere, Finland), a beta-adrenergic antagonist has recently been developed. The intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction with TAF/TIM in open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension is similar to that of other prostaglandin-timolol fixed-combination products. Patie...

W e develop a new model for studying the phenomenon of congestion in a transient environment, focusing on the problem of aircraft landings at a busy "hub" airport. Our model is based on a Markov / semi-Markov treatment of changes in the weather, the principal source of uncertainty governing service times, together with a treatment of the arrival stream as time-varying but deterministic. The mod...

OBJECTIVE To outline two cases of congenital tracheocutaneous fistula and discuss the potential pathogenesis of this previously unreported developmental abnormality. METHODS Two cases of tracheocutaneous fistula evaluated at John Peter Smith Hospital (Fort Worth, TX) from May to October 2001 were reviewed. The surgical treatment of one infant is described. RESULTS Two infants were evaluated...

PURPOSE To report and document a case of successful rainbow glare correction using undersurface ablation of the LASIK flap. METHODS A 33-year-old woman was treated bilaterally for myopia using femtosecond laser-assisted LASIK with the FS200 femtosecond laser (Alcon Laboratories, Inc., Fort Worth, TX). Postoperatively, she complained of rainbow glare in her right eye, and presented some residu...

This paper studies the relationship between the hub-and-spoke design in air transportation and the phenomenon of landing congestion in a transient environment. We model the weather, the principal source of uncertainty, as a Markov or semi-Markov process, and we treat arrivals as time-varying but deterministic. We develop a recursive algorithm for predicting transient queueing delays. To test ou...

Satellite observations of formaldehyde (HCHO) columns provide top-down constraints on emissions of highly reactive volatile organic compounds (HRVOCs). This approach has been used previously in the US to estimate isoprene emissions from vegetation, but application to anthropogenic emissions has been stymied by lack of a discernable HCHO signal. Here we show that temporal oversampling of HCHO da...

/ Fort Worth (DFW) is one of for Terminal Weather One of the primary the ITWS is a suite of algorithms that utilize data from the Temlinal Doppler Weather Radar (lDWR) to generate wind shear alerts. DFW also benefits from a Network Expansion of the Low-Level Wind Shear Advisory System (LL W AS-NE). The LL W AS-NE generated alerts are integrated with the radar-based alerts in ITWS to provide Air...

BACKGROUND We report 2 patients who have undergone radial keratotomy (RK) preceding ReSTOR(®) multifocal intraocular lens (IOL; Alcon, Fort Worth, Tex., USA) implantation in their nondominant eyes and TECNIS(®) monofocal IOL (Abbott Medical Optics, Abbott Park, Ill., USA) in their dominant eyes. METHODS Retrospective review of 2 patients who underwent hybrid monovision with ReSTOR(®) multifoc...
