Efficacy of intraocular lens power calculation formulas in a subset of Indian myopic population. Retrospectively reviewed 43 patients who underwent phacoemulsification with high axial length (AL) (>24.5 mm, range 24.75-32.35 mm). The power of the implanted intraocular lens (IOL) was used to calculate the predicted post-operative refractive error by four formulas: Sanders-Retzlaff-Kraff (SRK II)...

PURPOSE To compare accuracy of intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation formulae in infantile eyes with primary IOL implantation. DESIGN Comparative case series. METHODS The Hoffer Q, Holladay 1, Holladay 2, Sanders-Retzlaff-Kraff (SRK) II, and Sanders-Retzlaff-Kraff theoretic (SRK/T) formulae were used to calculate predicted postoperative refraction for eyes that received primary IOL impla...

This is a brief introduction to string re-writing kernel (SRK) proposed by Bu, Li, & Zhu in [1, 2]. SRK measures the similarity between two re-writings of strings. SRK can capture the lexical and structural similarity between two pairs of sentences for paraphrasing, question answering, and short text conversation. It might be intractable to compute a generic SRK; Bu et al. further propose a sub...

In Brassica self-incompatibility, the recognition of self/nonself pollen grains, is controlled by the S-locus, which encodes three highly polymorphic proteins: S-locus receptor kinase (SRK), S-locus protein 11 (SP11; also designated S-locus Cys-rich protein), and S-locus glycoprotein (SLG). SP11, located in the pollen coat, determines pollen S-haplotype specificity, whereas SRK, located on the ...

PURPOSE Cataract development is common following retinal detachment surgery that necessitates silicone oil injection. Intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation in the presence of silicone oil is challenging for many reasons. The authors evaluated the accuracy of intraoperative biometry during cataract surgery in silicone-filled eyes. METHODS Twelve cases of cataract in eyes filled with silicon...

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease primarily affecting synovial joints and is characterized by persistent high-grade systemic inflammation. Proinflammatory cytokines, particularly interleukin-6 (IL-6), are of crucial importance in the pathogenesis of the disease, driving both joint inflammation and extra-articular comorbidities. Tocilizumab, a humanized IL-6 ...

To gain further insight into the mode of action of S-locus receptor kinase (SRK), a receptor-like kinase involved in the self-incompatibility response in Brassica, different recombinant SRK proteins have been expressed in a membranous environment using the insect cell/baculovirus system. Recombinant SRK proteins exhibited properties close to those of the endogenous stigmatic SRK protein and wer...
