PURPOSE Presently, no instrument or method exists that is generally accepted for routine clinical assessment of (functional) retinal straylight. Yet retinal straylight is the cause of major patient complaints, such as hindrance from glare and loss of contrast. It results from disturbances in the optical media that increase light-scattering over angles of 1 degrees to 90 degrees . Its assessment...

Sarcoidosis is a granulomatous, multisystemic disorder of unknown origin usually affecting young Black-American adults. Bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy and skin or eyelid lesions are the most common symptoms noted. Except for lacrimal gland enlargement, orbital involvement with sarcoidosis is rare and is usually unilateral when it occurs. The aim of this article is to report an isolated case of...

purpose: to present a case of orbital abscess secondary to mandibular odontogenic infection. case report: a 30 year old man presented with ocular pain and exophthalmos of the left eye following a dental infection since a few days ago. a localized abscess was detected in the left orbital ct but the paranasal sinuses were clear. involvement of the left third mandibular molar was evident on facial...

Inflammatory demyelinating pseudotumor (IDP) is a rare inflammatory lesion of unknown etiology, which presents as a space-occupying lesion but responds dramatically to steroid therapy. The objective of this report is to document 2 cases of IDP seen in Kuwait. Two female patients, aged 35 and 27 years presented with the clinical and radiological features of a space-occupying lesion. Radiological...

A binding mechanism between human matrix metalloproteinase-12 (MMP-12) and eight arylsulfone analogs having two types of carboxylic and hydroxamic acids as the most representative zinc binding group is investigated using a quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) analysis based on a linear expression by representative energy terms (LERE). The LERE-QSAR analysis quantitatively reveals...

this research has been carried out to study and find a rather general description for a lone pairorbital in molecules. since the orbital parameters must be manageable in advance, and correctgeometry of the molecule (bond lengths) is depend on the appropriate lone pair description; thefsgo method including optimization has been used to obtain orbital parameters and energy. theproposed models for...

Optical absorption and ESR spectra of reduced vanadium centres in Ca2NaMg2VjOlz are reported. The spectra are interpreted as arising from tetrahedrally coordinated V" and octahedrally coordinated V". The ESR and optical data are correlated using molecular orbital (MO) theory. The composition of the flux-grown single crystals is analysed and discussed.

In this article, the optimized geometry, IR and UV spectra, frontier orbital analysis, natural bond orbital (NBO) analyses, and thermodynamic parameters of pomalidomide were investigated. The calculated structural parameters and stretching frequencies values are compared with experimentalvalues of the investigated compound. Also, the relations of the thermodynamic functions vs.temperatures were...
