Progression in phacoemulsification techniques for cataract surgery[1-4] has also led to inevitable changes in the delivery of accompanying anesthesia from general to local modalities [5-7] i.e. retrobulbar, peribulbar, Sub-Tenon and topical anesthesia. General anesthesia is preferred for complicated intracapsular cataract extraction (ICCE) surgery as this technique involves significant manipula...

CASE REPORT A woman was operated on for strabismus under topical anesthesia. An exudative conjunctivitis was diagnosed immediately after the surgery, and a uveal effusion syndrome diagnosed 15 days later. Surgery exploration, vycril suture removal and therapy with systemic, sub-tenon, and topical corticosteroid and antibiotics was initiated. Intraoperative culture revealed evidence of Staphyloc...

Cataract surgery is the most common elective operation performed worldwide (1, 2). The development of new technologies and new surgical techniques and materials lead to less invasive and day care procedures. This in turn encouraged an evolution on the ophthalmic anesthetic strategies, rendering general anesthesia largely unnecessary, so that local techniques have become preferred for cataract s...

to study genetic diversity and drought tolerance in sesame genotypes, an experiment in a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2010-2011 was conducted at the agricultural research field, university of birjand under stress and non-stress conditions. the aim of this study was the testing of yield, tolerance index and bi-plot analysis. materials included genotypes birjand, kh...

The polysaccharide capsule of Streptococcus pneumoniae defines over ninety serotypes, which differ in their carriage prevalence and invasiveness for poorly understood reasons. Recently, an inverse correlation between carriage prevalence and oligosaccharide structure of a given capsule has been described. Our previous work suggested a link between serotype and growth in vitro. Here we investigat...

Exposure of Cryptococcus neoformans cells to gamma radiation results in a gradual release of capsular polysaccharide, in a dose-dependent manner. This method allows the systematic exploration of different capsular regions. Using this methodology, capsule density was determined to change according to the radial distribution of glucuronoxylomannan and total polysaccharide, becoming denser at the ...

INTRODUCTION Capsule endoscopy has, over the last few years, become a first-line test to visualize the mucosa of the small intestine. This technique is generally considered safe and does not cause discomfort for patients. However, although patients may have difficulty in swallowing the capsule, bronchial aspiration of a capsule endoscope is a very rare complication. We report the case of an 82-...
