Introduction: In orthodontic treatment, adequate anchorage is necessary to move the intended teeth. In some cases, just anterior teeth are malaligned, while posterior occlusion is acceptable. Therefore, the posterior teeth could be integrated by fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) to provide a rigid anchorage. This method proved advantageous since brackets are bonded just to anter...

Introduction. Uterine rupture is a potentially catastrophic complication of vaginal birth after caesarean section. We describe the sixth case of posterior uterine rupture, with intact lower segment scar, and the first neonatal survival after expulsion into the abdominal cavity with posterior rupture. Case Presentation. A multiparous woman underwent prostaglandin induction of labour for postmatu...

BACKGROUND Corticosteroids play a major role in the treatment of many diseases of the posterior ocular segment. Systemically or topically administered steroids usually do not attain therapeutic concentrations in the retina, as they must first cross the blood-retina barrier. Intravitreal application is a useful alternative means of achieving therapeutic concentrations in the posterior segment bu...

Axenfeld Rieger Syndrome is anterior segment dysgenesis characterized by posterior embryotoxon and of the chamber. Developmental abnormalities angle cause increased resistance to outflow. Ocular hypertension a complication in almost 50% cases. It an autosomal dominant disease its prevalence between 50,000 100,000 newborns per year. The main associated affected genes are FOXC1 PITX2, occurring 4...

Purpose. To describe our technique, clear corneal phacovitrectomy with posterior capsulorhexis (CCPV), for the management of selected posterior segment intraocular foreign body (IOFB), posteriorly dislocated lens fragments (PDLF), and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) cases. Methods. This was a single-center retrospective interventional case series. In 21 patients (21 eyes) we performed ...

During the first half of the 20th century there was a strong controversy over the route for removal of an intraocular foreign body (IOFB) lying in the posterior segment of the eye. In the early years the anterior route was substantially the method of choice (Barkan and Barkan, 1927; Verhoeff, 1932; Duggan, I933; Trevor-Roper, i944; and others). The posterior route had been advocated by Stieren ...

BACKGROUND Segment-oriented liver resections can be performed effective by posterior intrahepatic approach. A significance of such resection - is that they are oncologically radical as well as parenchyma-sparing. METHODOLOGY Segmental liver resections were performed in 102 patients with liver tumors. Suprahilar control of the appropriate glissonean pedicle was achieved by the posterior intrah...
