Purpose: To evaluate the short-term efficacy of intravitreal anti-VEGF (Lucentis) and sub-tenon injection of triamcinolone acetonide for choroidal neovascularization (CNV) associated with multifocal choroiditis (MC). Methods: Eight eyes of 8 patients treated with intravitreal anti-VEGF and posterior sub-tenon injection of Triamcinolone Acetonide (TA) for subfoveal or juxtafoveal CNV associated ...

AIM To investigate the visual impact of sub-Tenon anesthesia during combined phacoemulsification and vitrectomy surgery. METHODS In this prospective case series, consecutive patients who underwent combined phacoemulsification and pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) under sub-Tenon anesthesia between October 2008 and September 2009 were enrolled. The patients were asked whether they could see the ligh...

PURPOSE Macular edema is one of the serious side effects associated with panretinal photocoagulation (PRP). The inhibitory effect of triamcinolone acetonide (TA) on leukocyte-endothelial cell interactions in vivo after PRP was evaluated. METHODS Argon laser photocoagulation was performed in one half of the retinas in male Brown Norway rats. Experimental rats were injected with 2 mg TA (50-mic...

Abstract The objective of this case series was to report the outcome a new technique for surgical treatment phalangeal fractures in cats and dogs. Medical records dogs presented with treated dowel pinning were retrospectively reviewed. Cases included when clinical examination radiographic follow‐up evaluation at least 6 months available. Complications during healing period final functional anal...

The vibration dissipation mechanism of the rotating blade with a dovetail joint is studied in this paper. Dry friction damping plays an indispensable role direction reduction. level reduced by consuming total energy turbine dry device on blade-root reduction revealed variation force and ratio friction. In paper, flexible interface feature discretized using spatial beam element based finite theo...

PURPOSE Filtration failure due to excessive postoperative scarring remains a major problem after glaucoma surgery. The authors have investigated whether glaucoma and filtration surgery are associated with increased levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and whether a humanized monoclonal antibody against VEGF, bevacizumab, can reduce postoperative scar formation and improve surgic...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate the complications of a sub-Tenon injection of triamcinolone acetonide in patients with uveitis. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the records of uveitis cases treated from 1999 to 2003 in Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital. Thirty patients (45 eyes), who received a sub-Tenon injection of 0.5 ml of a triamcinolone acetonide suspension ...

fracture mapping of late permian-early triassic flat-lying sedimentary rocks in the sydney basin,new south wales, australia, shows that joints developed originally in extension were faulted in subsequentevents. joints with a regional distribution fall into two (early and late) formed groups. group i joints propagatedhorizontally and never interfered with each other. these joints were subsequent...
