TRAUMATIC retinal detachment may or may not be associated with hypotony. In some cases iridocyclitis precedes the detachment, which is then termed secondary (Duke-Elder, 1940), and in these circumstances there is frequently a marked hypotension. Rarely, however, the reverse may occur and a detachment may be associated with a secondary iridocycitis giving rise to secondary glaucoma. This is thou...

PURPOSE To investigate the possibility that cell death in retinal detachment may occur by reactivation of apoptotic programmed cell death mechanisms. METHODS Unilateral retinal detachments were created in adult cats using 0.25% sodium hyaluronate; detached and control retinas were studied at different intervals. Internucleosomal DNA fragmentation (one of the landmarks of apoptosis) was invest...

Scholars already demonstrated that psychologically detaching from work after workhours can diminish or avoid the negative effects of job demands on employees' well-being. In this study, we examined a curvilinear relationship between workload and psychological detachment. Moreover, we investigated the moderating influence of an employee's work-home segmentation preference on the relation between...

OBJECTIVE Unexpected Solitaire stent detachment can occur during mechanical Solitaire thrombectomy. The purpose of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the influencing factors causing unexpected Solitaire stent detachment and the clinical outcomes. METHODS Between October 2011 to December 2013, 232 cases of mechanical Solitaire thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke were performed in 3 ...

Aim of Study: To assess the preoperative risk factors implicated in increasing the risk of surgical failure in primary retinal detachment surgery using the 23-G vitrectomy platform. Methods: Eighty eyes suffering from primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment were treated with 23-gauge transconjunctival vitrectomy. A comprehensive ophthalmological examination including the duration of the detac...

During meiotic prophase, telomeres cluster, forming the bouquet chromosome arrangement, and facilitate homologous chromosome pairing. In fission yeast, bouquet formation requires switching of telomere and centromere positions. Centromeres are located at the spindle pole body (SPB) during mitotic interphase, and upon entering meiosis, telomeres cluster at the SPB, followed by centromere detachme...

Motivated by the discrepancies in recent experimental and theoretical studies of photodetachment from isolated model chromophores of the green fluorescent protein (GFP), this study reports calculations of the electron detachment energies and photoelectron spectra of the phenolate and deprotonated p-hydroxybenzylidene-2,3-dimethylimidazolinone (HBDI) anions. The spectra were computed using doubl...

The authors of this study examined the relation between job demands and psychological detachment from work during off-job time (i.e., mentally switching off) with psychological well-being and work engagement. They hypothesized that high job demands and low levels of psychological detachment predict poor well-being and low work engagement. They proposed that psychological detachment buffers the ...

Thermoresponsive polymer coatings allow the control of adhesion of cells on synthetic substrates. In particular, decreasing the temperature below the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of the polymer triggers the non-invasive detachment of cells from their cultivation substrate. Widening the range of applications of these coatings in cellular biotechnology requires a better understandin...

Psychological detachment from work, an off-job experience of "switching off" mentally, seems to be crucial for promoting employee's well-being. Previous studies on predictors of psychological detachment mainly focused on job-related factors, and only a few studies focused on family-related and personal factors. This study focuses not only on job-related factors (job demands, job control, workpl...
