AIM To describe the clinical characters of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) associated with massive spontaneous suprachoroidal hemorrhage (SSCH). To evaluate optimal timing and prognosis of pars plana vitrectomy. METHODS A retrospective review of 6 cases (6 eyes) of RRD and massive SSCH among 3772 cases of RRD was conducted. All of 6 patients were treated with twenty-gauge vitrectomy, ...

purpose: to evaluate the anatomical and functional outcomes of using heavy silicone oil as an internal tamponade for complicated cases of retinal detachment associated with proliferative vitreoretinopathy involving inferior retinal quadrants methods: 55 eyes from 55 patients with complicated retinal detachments enrolled in this interventional case series study. all eyes underwent standard three...

A 30-year-old male, who underwent previous pars plana vitrectomy and silicone oil tamponade due to endogenous endophthalmitis originated from Klebsiella liver abscess, was referred for evisceration. At 2 months after vitrectomy with silicon oil tamponade, conjunctival chemosis and ocular pain were aggravated. Diffuse eyelid swelling and large subconjunctival mass with lipid droplets were noted....

in this study, the effect of drought and different concentrations of silicon was examined on seed yield, essential oil percentage and physio-chemicals properties in fennel plant. the experimental design was a split plot with three irrigation regimes: irrigation at 100, 70 and 40 percent of fc comprising the main treatments, and five levels of silicon foliar sprays (0, 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10 mm) as ...

The housing of zinc oxide lightning arresters are playing major role for discharging the lightning surges. Previously porcelain and silicon rubber housings were mainly used depending on the atmospheric conditions but in practice a lot of problems are faced with these housing. Hence this paper presenting the ZnO blocks performance characterizes with different dielectrics such as air, transformer...

INTRODUCTION To report a case in which intraocular silicone oil migrated into the upper eyelid and caused ptosis. METHODS A 65-year-old woman presented with proliferative vitreoretinopathy in the right eye. Vitrectomies, injection of silicone oil and encircling were performed. Two months after the last operation, swelling of her right eyelid occurred. RESULT Magnetic resonance imaging revea...

The development of improved anti-wear additives would enable the use of lower viscosity oils that would lead to improved efficiency. Ionic liquids have the potential to be this type of new anti-wear additive. However, currently the best performing ionic liquids that are miscible in non-polar base oils, the phosphonium phosphates, contain phosphorus on both the cation and anion. Manufacturers ar...

Large areas of tropical rainforest are being converted to agricultural and plantation land uses, but little is known of biodiversity and ecological functioning under these replacement land uses. We investigated the effects of conversion of rainforest into jungle rubber, intensive rubber and oil palm plantations on testate amoebae, diverse and functionally important protists in litter and soil. ...

It is important to reduce the seismic response of houses in order to prevent from collapse of houses. Some control methods for seismic response of houses are developed. The oil dampers using the flow resistance of the silicon oil have been developed. In this paper, a Magnet Oil Damper (MOD) in which permanent magnets are added to the oil damper is proposed in order to improve the performance of...

Metal emulsions have been studied for several decades as a method of increasing the efficiency steelmaking process. This study was performed using water model, observable at room temperature, to compensate disadvantages high-temperature experiment, results which are difficult observe visually. As substitute metal-in-slag emulsions, experiments were conducted by dropping distilled into silicone ...
