Aim: The aim of this study is to introduced the efficacy, longevity and safety of this new ‘T’shaped limbal based sclera flap with fornix based conjunctival flap trabeculectomy leading to better result like controlling intra ocular pressure satisfactory ,and no shallow anterior chamber after the surgery. Method: As it is a clinical research which was done on 26 patients and all the patient went...

When cell populations are incubated with the DNA-binding dye Hoechst 33342 and subjected to flow cytometry analysis for Hoechst 33342 emissions, active efflux of the dye by the ABCG2/BCRP1 transporter causes certain cells to appear as a segregated cohort, known as a side population (SP). Stem cells from several tissues have been shown to possess the SP phenotype. As the lack of specific surface...

This paper describes an improvement in the technique of limbal incision of the conjunctiva in squint operations. The limbal incision was first described by Zugsmith (I959) as a peritomy incision, but Massin and Hudelo (I962) were the first to show its full advantage in squint surgery, and von Noorden (i 968, i 969) improved the technique. The limbal incision has the merits of providing a scarle...

THE relation of corneal vascularisation and of conjunctival transparency to nutritional deficiency have already been described (Lyle, Macrae and Gardiner, 1944; Gardiner, 1944). The former communication showed that a high limbal score indicating increased corneal vascularisation occurred in groups of people who were living on inadequate or unbalanced diets. The latter investigation showed that ...

CLINICAL CASE A fair-skinned woman presented marked striate melanokeratosis in her left eye related to recurrent corneal erosion. The source of pigmentation was a conjunctival melanosis. The conjunctival melanosis responded to treatment with topical mitomycin, while the corneal pigmentation persisted. DISCUSSION Striate melanokeratosis is a condition described in dark-skinned patients who sho...
