Objective- Assessment of the lens anterior – posterior (AP) diameter as compared with the eye globe by ultrasonography in rabbit.   Design- Descriptive study.   Animals- 120 male and female rabbits, two months to four years old, and weighting between 300 to 1500gr.   Procedures- 2D ultrasonography of the eyes was performed and AP diameter of the eyes and lens were measured using Sonosite Tit...

Horn antennas can result in good impedance matching between the waveguide and free space due to the gradual increase in the aperture size. In this paper, a novel plasmonic sectoral horn nanoantenna based on using lens in the aperture is proposed. It is investigated that in addition to improvement of the directivity, the reflection coefficient is also reduced using the proper lens structure. The...

purpose: to evaluate the prevalence of contat lens wear among highschool girls and their general knowledge about contact lenses and also to evaluate the specific knowledge of contact lens wearers about the lens. methods: in a cross-sectional study, 1664 students of 22 randomly selected girl highschools were enrolled. a questionaire including questions about wearing contact lens, age of first us...

The purpose of this investigation was to study and compare the electrophoretic patterns of optic lensproteins of different species of domestic animals at pre- and post-natal ages. Optic lenses were removed from the embryo or adult sheep, cattle, goat, camel and chicken at the slaughter-house then homogenized and subjected to sodium dodecylsulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). I...

results the electrophysiology laboratory staff received higher doses of ionizing radiation (17.2 ± 11.9 msv; p < 0.001). there was a significant positive correlation between the years of working experience and effective dose in the lens (p < 0.001). in general, our findings showed that the incidence of lens opacity was 79% (95% ci, 69.9-88.1) in participants with exposure (the case group) and o...

abstract in order to investigate the effect of crop row spacing and cocklebur (xanthium strumarium) densities on yield and its components of two sesame cultivars, a field experiment was conducted in 2009-2010 growing season at research farm of university of agricultural sciences and natural resources of gorgan, iran. the experiment was established as factorial arrangement using a randomized com...

purpose : to compare visual outcome of aspheric and spheric intraocular lenses (iols) implantation in patients with age-related cataract in terms of visual acuity (va), contrast sensitivity (cs) and spherical aberration methods : in this prospective randomized interventional study, 59 consecutive cases of senile cataract who had been admitted for cataract surgery to farabi eye hospital, tehran,...
