AIM To test the short term efficacy and safety of an infrared warm compression device (IWCD, Eye Hot, Cept Co, Tokyo, Japan) as treatment for non-inflamed meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). METHODS 37 subjects with non-inflamed obstructive MGD, with and without aqueous tear deficiency (ATD) dry eye, participated in a prospective non-comparative interventional case series. Symptom scores, face...

Background/purpose: This work describes a new skin disease for the first time, Adams disease, and the management of the disease. Methods: Adams disease is caused by chafing and irritations, causes the skin to form rashes or thickening, crack and bleed. The skin is also sensitive to temperature and moisture changes and responds with itching and pain. Other symptoms include a swollen lower leg an...

Two important factors affecting hot tearing – semi-solid constitutive behaviour and grain percolation – have been simulated through the use of microstructure models based on granular structures. The semi-solid model geometry is based on a modified Voronoi tessellation, and includes rounded corners to approximate an equiaxed-globular grain structure with liquid surrounding the grains. The percol...

Abstract Despite numerous observational and geodynamic modeling studies, the presence of northwest Pacific slab tear its influence on mantle dynamics remain controversial. By imaging transition zone (MTZ) discontinuities beneath Japan Sea adjacent areas, we demonstrate an ESE-WNW elongated with significant MTZ thinning extending from central Honshu, Japan, to Korean Peninsula, which provides ad...

  Tears of the subscapularis tendon have been significantly recognized as a source of shoulder pain and dysfunction in the past decade, thanks to arthroscopic evaluation of the shoulder and biomechanical and anatomical studies of the tendon. Current classification of subscapularis tendon tear is based on insertion site of the tendon. Recently, a classification for non-insertional types of subsc...
