PURPOSE Phacoemulsification is the surgical procedure of choice for cataract, providing excellent visual and safety outcomes. Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) is an addition to the surgical armamentarium. The study aims to compare the outcomes of FLACS using LenSx™ (Alcon Inc., USA) to standard 2.2 mm clear corneal phacoemulsification. Prospective case-control, comparative, i...

Abstract In this first chapter of the Book “Regenerative Territories. Dimensions Circularity for Healthy Metabolisms”, relation between circularity and space is explored. The main focus development over time, in particular way how spatial planning strategies respond to new unpredictable urgencies opportunities related with territorial metabolisms. 5 grand rules are explored as necessary impleme...

HBV genome is of approximately 3,200 base pairs having partially circular duplex DNA molecule. The circularity of HBV DNA is maintained by 5’ cohesive ends. The mRNA is synthesized by negative DNA strand of HBV. Four overlapping open reading frames are present *Corresponding author: Javed Iqbal, School of Life Sciences, Shaanxi Normal University, Xian, P.R China, Tel: (+52) 477-2674900; E-mail:...

Take as a premise that listening (and its circularities) becomes an essential practice for making a difference in the world and represents a critical concept in the design of a participative-dialogic society. The speaker-respondent circularity turns listening into a conversation. Participants set aside their habitual or socially prescribed ways of interacting and explore other ways to be presen...

It is always risky to pronounce a verdict of death on ideas, even after an extended period of apparent lifelessness, but I predict that we have seen the last of the "sociologists" in political science. . . . What has happened is that others too have penetrated the characteristically sloppy logic and flabby prose to discover the deeper problems of circularity and vacuousness inherent in the appr...

Chloroplast DNA of the duckweed Spirodela oligorrhiza, isolated by CsCl gradient centrifugation, was characterized by its buoyant density, guanine + cytosine content, melting behavior, circularity, and contour length. In all these characteristics, chloroplast DNA of S. oligorrhiza is similar to the chloroplast genomes of other higher plants, except that it has a significantly larger size.

AIMS In implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) patients, predictors of ICD shocks and mortality are needed to improve patient selection. Electrocardiographic (ECG) markers are simple to obtain and have been demonstrated to predict mortality. We aimed to assess the association of T-wave loop area and circularity with ICD shocks. METHODS The study investigated patients with ICDs implanted...
