The terms "alternative medicine," "complementary medicine," or "unconventional medicine" refer to diagnostic methods, treatments and therapies that appear not to conform to standard medical practice, or are not generally taught at accredited medical schools. The scope of alternative medicine is broad, with widespread use among the American public of a long list of treatments and practices, such...

Aims: To study the refractive outcome of cataract surgery employing IOLMaster biometry data and to compare it with that of applanation ultrasonography in a prospective study of 100 eyes that underwent phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation. Methods: The Holladay formula using IOLMaster data was employed for the prediction of implanted intraocular lenses (IOLs). One month after c...

Background: Pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PXS) is regarded as rare in people of Chinese ethnicity but the prevalence of this condition is not known. This epidemiology study was conducted to assess the prevalence of PXS in cataract patients and to report the clinical features present. Methods: Prospective descriptive study conducted in the period from March 1999 to May 2001 in ophthalmology depart...

Charge transfer underlies the function of many devices ranging from transistors to light-emitting diodes, and from solar to biofuel cells. It is often the limiting factor for the performance of these devices. As such it is absolutely vital to understand the mechanism, thermodynamics and kinetics of this important physical process on a molecular level. Although the time and length scales of the ...

REBCO coated conductors (CCs) have the potential to widen considerably the application areas of superconductivity. Quench protection of REBCO-based devices represents one of the major obstacles to this expansion. Thermal conductivity data are mandatory ingredients for quench simulation studies. In particular, the transverse thermal conductivity (kT) of the CC plays a key role in case of quenche...

Annually the Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF) organizes a scientific retreat to assemble the premier prostate cancer researchers from around the world to share and review the latest progress made in the field and to evaluate future directions. This report highlights some of the most significant advances made in prostate cancer research in 2010 that were presented at the 17th Annual PCF Scientif...

Aims: To determine the effect of hypoglycaemia on ischaemic retinal injury. Methods: Rat retinal cultures were incubated in varying concentrations of glucose while placed under standardised anoxic conditions, and the number of surviving GABA immunoreactive neurons was assessed using immunocytochemistry. Hypoglycaemia was induced in age and sex matched Wistar rats by an injection of rapid acting...

Aims: To determine the indications for penetrating keratoplasty (PK) at the Corneoplastic Unit and Eye Bank, UK, a tertiary referral centre, over a 10 year period. Methods: Records of all patients who underwent PK at our institution between 1990 and 1999 were reviewed retrospectively. Of the 1096 procedures performed in this period, 784 records were available for evaluation (72%). Results: Regr...
