BACKGROUND The purpose of this study is to report the prevalence, etiology, treatment and outcomes of neovascular glaucoma (NVG) in a tertiary care ophthalmic center in China. METHODS Medical records of patients diagnosed as NVG at the Wenzhou Medical University between 2003 and 2014 were reviewed. Success was defined as IOP between 6 and 21 mmHg without topical or systemic glaucoma medicatio...

We have studied the effects of gas density inhomogeneities on the escape of ionising Lyman continuum (Lyc) photons from Milky Way-type galaxies via 3D numerical simulations using the Monte Carlo radiative transfer code CRASH (Ciardi et al. 2001). To this aim a comparison between a smooth Gaussian distribution (GDD) and an inhomogeneous, fractal one (FDD) has been made with realistic assumptions...

BACKGROUND To protect from erosion of the tube in glaucoma drainage device (GDD), the tube is covered by a biologic tissue which is roofed by the conjunctiva. Sclera, pericardium, dura mater and cornea are available as a patch graft. Drawbacks of some of these materials may include high cost and poor appearance. The purpose of this study is to report the long-term outcomes of partial thickness ...

Identifying the growth stages on oilseed rape accurately is essential for effective crop management. Two commonly used methods identifying are growing degree days (GDD) and BBCH scale, by measuring heat accumulation daily temperatures describes of plants. The main goal this research using a combination these methods, where can identify in production period. three-year field experiments 2015/16 ...

BACKGROUND Accurate data on dietary habits are crucial for understanding impacts on disease and informing policy priorities. Nation-specific food balance sheets from the United Nations FAO provided the only available global dietary estimates but with uncertain validity. OBJECTIVES We investigated how FAO estimates compared with nationally representative, individual-based dietary surveys from ...

AIM This study examines the changes in axial length (AL) after trabeculectomy and glaucoma drainage device (GDD) surgery and enabled an equation to be derived allowing prediction of AL change after filtering surgery. METHODS This was a prospective, interventional case series from the Glaucoma Service of the Doheny Eye Institute. PATIENT POPULATION One eye of 39 patients undergoing trabecule...
