exudative retinal detachment (erd) may be seen with many ocular pathologies including malignancies. among malignant causes, metastases of breast and lung carcinoma are most common. a 50-year-old woman referred to our clinic with history of decreased visual acuity in her right eye since 3 months before referral. the visual acuity was counting fingers at 2 meters and 6/10 in the right and left ey...

 Abstract Background: Transpupillary thermotherapy is a new treatment for subfoveal choroidal neovascularization which needs further evaluation. This study was aimed to evaluate the efficacy of transpupillary thermotherapy on regression of occult subfoveal choroidal neovascularization with or without pigment epithelial detachment in patients with age-related macular degeneration. Methods: In a ...

a dog was presented with history of progressive generalized subcutaneous emphysema and exercise intolerance secondary to dog fight. radiographic evaluation confirmed extensive subcutaneous emphysema, pneumomediastinum and pneumoretroperitoneum. surgical exploration revealed cricoid cartilage longitudinal fracture and cricotracheal detachment. the fractured cartilage was sutured and the cricoid ...

purpose: to compare the anatomical results of scleral buckling with or without retinopexy and to assess the effect of retinopexy on outcomes of the operation.  methods: this interventional case series was performed on 22 patients undergoing scleral buckling (segmental or encircling) with or without subretinal fluid drainage and without any type of retinopexy and 33 patients who received transsc...

objective: to determine the sensivity and specifity of ocular ultrasonography in detecting vitreoretinal lesion prior to deep vitrectomy in patients with opaque media. method: the hospital records of patients undergoing deep vitrectomy in a defined period at shiraz khalili hospital were reviewed. sonographic reports given by a sonologist and operation reports given by a vitreoretinal fellowship...

In this research, the effect of bubble surface area flux, Sb, and particle size on flotation rate constant, k, of pyrite (FeS2) particles was studied using bubble-particle interactions. The bubble-particle collision, attachment and detachment efficiencies were calculated under different flow regimes. The k increased with increase in the collision efficiency and decreas...

Soil detachment is known as an important process in soil erosion and its quantification is necessary to establish a basic understanding of erosion. This study was carried out to find the best flow erosivity indicator(s) for predicting detachment rate at low slopes. For this purpose, 12 experiments including 6 flow discharges (75, 100, 125, 150, 175 and 200 ml/s) and 2 slope gradients (1.5 and 2...
