BACKGROUND The objective of the study is to examine the effect of trabeculectomy on intraocular lens power calculations in patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG) undergoing cataract surgery. DESIGN The design is retrospective data analysis. PARTICIPANTS There are a total of 55 eyes of 55 patients with OAG who had a cataract surgery alone or in combination with trabeculectomy. METHODS We ...

PURPOSE To evaluate the visual and refractive outcomes, lens power calculation accuracy, and safety of negative power intraocular lenses (IOLs) implanted in highly myopic eyes at the time of cataract surgery. DESIGN Interventional case series. METHODS Sixteen consecutive highly myopic eyes implanted with IOLs from -1 D to -6 D were identified. IOL power; preoperative and postoperative best-...

The self-incompatibility system of the plant species Brassica is controlled by the S-locus, which contains S-RECEPTOR KINASE (SRK) and S-LOCUS PROTEIN11 (SP11). SP11 binding to SRK induces SRK autophosphorylation and initiates a signaling cascade leading to the rejection of self pollen. However, the mechanism controlling hydration and germination arrest during self-pollination is unclear. In th...

PURPOSE To evaluate the agreement in axial length (AL), keratometry (K), anterior chamber depth (ACD) measurements; intraocular lens (IOL) power calculations; and predictability using a new partial coherence interferometry (PCI) optical biometer (AL-Scan) and a reference (gold standard) PCI optical biometer (IOLMaster 500). SETTING Service d'Ophtalmologie, Hopital Bicêtre, APHP Université, Pa...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Sporophytic self-incompatibility (SI) prevents inbreeding in many members of the Brassicaceae, and has been well documented in a variety of high-profile species. Arabis alpina is currently being developed as a model system for studying the ecological genetics of arctic-alpine environments, and is the focus of numerous studies on population structure and alpine phylogeography...

most reservoir fluids contain heavy paraffinic compounds that may precipitate as a solid or solid like material called wax if the fluid is cooled down. wax precipitation is a phenomenon of considerable importance in oil industry. an increase in aggregation results in enhanced oil viscosity. this however causes significant negative effects on production, transportation and processing of crude oi...

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of axial length (AL) and the average preoperative keratometry (K) on the A constant in the SRK/T formula. Methods: The retrospective, comparative case series includes 635 eyes from 407 cataract patients from Columbia University Medical Center from January 2006 to August 2010, operated by a single surgeon using a temporal incision and the Acrysof SN60WF IOL (Alcon...

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) frameworks of supercritical cryogenic fluids need to employ Real models such as cubic Equations State (EoS) account for thermal and inertial driven mechanisms fluid evolution disintegration. Accurate estimation the non-linear variation in density, thermodynamic transport properties is required computationally replicate relevant thermo dynamics involved. This a...
