purpose: to examine the relationship between retinal nerve fiber layer (rnfl) measurements obtained using scanning laser polarimetry with variable corneal compensation (vcc) and central corneal thickness (cct) measurements using pentacam in myopic patients methods: the study included 45 eyes from 45 myopic patients with intraocular pressure (iop) measurements≤21 mmhg. all participants had norma...

BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to evaluate usefulness of ultrasonography in assessment of rabbit common calcanean tendon, to describe its ultrasonographic anatomy and to perform morphometric analysis of this structure. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifteen skeletally-matured New Zealand rabbits were used in the study. Ultrasonographic examinations of common calcanean tendon (CCT) were pe...

PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES To examine differences in opportunity and eligibility for cancer clinical trial (CCT) participation based on sociodemographic and disease characteristics.
. DESIGN A matched cross-sectional study including a prospective oral questionnaire and retrospective electronic medical record (EMR) review.
. SETTING A single hospital in a large academic National Cancer Institute-des...

PURPOSE To determine if early post-treatment central choroidal thickness (CCT) changes can predict sunset glow fundus (SGF) development in patients with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease treated using systemic corticosteroids. METHODS This retrospective case series included 39 eyes of 21 treatment-naïve patients with acute VKH disease who could be followed up for more than 12 months after sy...

To reach a functional and energetically stable conformation, many proteins need molecular helpers called chaperonins. Among the group II chaperonins, CCT proteins provide crucial machinery for the stabilization and proper folding of several proteins in the cytosol of eukaryotic cells through interactions that are subunit-specific and geometry-dependent. CCT proteins are made up of eight differe...

PURPOSE To compare Orbscan II and ultrasonic pachymetry for measurement of central corneal thickness (CCT) in eyes scheduled for keratorefractive surgery. METHODS CCT was measured using Orbscan II (Bausch & Lomb, USA) and then by ultrasonic pachymetry (Tomey SP-3000, Tomey Ltd, Japan) in 100 eyes of 100 patients with no history of ocular surgery scheduled for excimer laser refractive surgery....

Phosphatidylcholine (PC) synthesis in animal cells is generally controlled by cytidine 5'-triphosphate (CTP):phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase (CCT). This enzyme is amphitropic, that is, it can interconvert between a soluble inactive form and a membrane-bound active form. The membrane-binding domain of CCT is a long amphipathic alpha helix that responds to changes in the physical properties o...

purpose: to compare orbscan ii and ultrasonic pachymetry for measurement of central corneal thick-ness (cct) in eyes scheduled for keratorefractive surgery. methods: cct was measured using orbscan ii and then by ultrasonic pachymetry in 100 eyes of 100 patients who were scheduled for excimer laser refractive surgery. paired t-test was used for comparing the results. results: using an acoustic f...

Cardiac CT (CCT) is rapidly evolving as a noninvasive imaging modality. Newer technologic developments in CCT allow the comprehensive assessment of cardiovascular anatomy, including the coronary arteries. There are special considerations regarding obtaining and accurately interpreting CCT studies. On completion of this article, the reader should be able to describe the issues related to adequat...

This white paper discusses the role of root-cause analysis (RCA) in managing infrastructure availability and performance. By comparing two approaches – rules-based analysis and the EMC IonixTM Codebook Correlation TechnologyTM (CCT) – this paper illustrates the unique advantages of CCT and explains why CCT is the only viable method for automating the analysis of any type of problem in any netwo...
