Purpose. Cyclectomy/trabeculectomy and Ahmed glaucoma valve implant are operations suggested for refractory glaucomas. In this study, we have evaluated the outcomes that we observed with these two techniques in neovascular glaucoma patients. Material and Methods. Thirty-five eyes with neovascular glaucomas were included in this study. Ahmed Glaucoma valve (group A) was applied to ten eyes, whil...

Background High thrombotic burden, subsequent distal embolization and myocardial no-refl ow remain a big obstacle which may negate the benefi ts of urgent coronary revascularization in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). We aimed at assessing the predictors of (1) thrombus grade in patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI), and (2) infarct size,...

The Inter feeder Power Flow Regulator (IFPFR) proposed in this paper consists of several voltage source inverters with common dc bus; each inverter is connected in series with one of different independent distribution feeders in the power system. This paper is concerned with how to transfer power between the feeders for load sharing purpose. The power controller of each inverter injects the pow...
