BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate the effects of injection site on the reflux after intravitreal injection. METHODS One hundred and eighty eyes undergoing intravitreal injection including 0.1 ml of triamcinolone acetonide or bevacizumab or pegaptanib were divided to six groups (30 patients in each group) to compare the vitreal reflux after injection using superotemporal versus infero...

conclusions although postoperative intra-articular meperidine is a better alternative for bupivacaine, their combination could improve their analgesic effects compared with each other alone. results the bupivacaine-meperidine group had better duration of postoperative analgesia (p = 0.001), latter first analgesic request (p ≤ 0.001), lower total fentanyl consumption in first 24 hours after the ...

In order to determine whether a possible barrier exists to diffusion of tracer into the optic nerve during development and to provide a basis for later studies of retrograde axonal transport in embryonic nerves, we studied the diffusion of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) into the nerve after vitreal injections in chicks ranging in age from embryonic day 6 to 3 days after hatching. We found that HR...

It was previously reported that injection of whole blood or hemoglobin into the rabbit vitreous is followed by two periods of immigration of phagocytic cells. The first period occurs within the first few days, and the second at round 3 weeks after experimental injury. In this report, invasive cells from these two periods after intravitreal hemoglobin injection were tested for their ability to r...

PURPOSE To compare intravitreal concentration (VC) of commercially available carboplatin (CAC) and the novel nanomolecule carboplatin (NMC), after periocular injection. METHODS The study was a comparative animal study involving 24 white Sprague-Dawley rats, aged between 6 weeks and 3 months. CAC was bound with a nanoparticulate carrier by co-acervation with a biocompatible and biodegradable p...

diastolic phase of cardiac function is associated with lower arterial flow and hence higher concentration of intra arterially injected drug is achieved at the site of injection. it is herein postulated that drugs show higher efficacy when injected during the diastolic phase of cardiac function. it is also postulated that this benefit cannot be achieved when the drug is injected with higher rate...

background: gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists or antagonists are used in assisted reproductive technique cycles as premature luteinizing hormone secretion inhibition. studies have been reported different and contradictory results on the serum progesterone effect on intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection. objective: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of serum progesterone leve...
