OBJECTIVE To compare the anatomical and visual outcomes of primary idiopathic macular hole surgery using indocyanine green-assisted internal limiting membrane peeling versus no internal limiting membrane peeling. DESIGN Prospective randomised controlled clinical trial. SETTING University teaching hospital, Hong Kong. PATIENTS Fifty-one eyes of 49 Chinese patients with primary idiopathic m...

Background: Benign pigmented lesions, including freckles, are common and various treatment modalities including lasers and peeling have been evaluated for their effectiveness in their treatment.Objective: To compare the clinical effects of focal peeling with Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) and Nd:YAG (532 nm) laser on freckles.Methods: Twenty patients with freckles were treated with foca...

This paper describes a method for modeling the natural peeling phenomenon over any 3D surface. Using crack input data—precomputed with a semi-physical solution—this method allows simulating peeling on any type of triangulated 3D object. Our model’s main advantage is that it proposes an method that is intuitive enough to make it easy to understand and convenient to apply, user controllable, and ...

Epiretinal membranes are commonly encountered in retinal practice, and they result in decreased vision. The present work addresses whether peeling of the internal limiting membrane is necessary during vitrectomy for macular pucker. We performed a retrospective analysis to investigate the effects of "single peeling," in which only the epiretinal membrane was peeled, and "double peeling," in whic...

AIMS To compare the retinal sensitivity and frequency of microscotomas found by spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) combined with scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (SLO) microperimetry after idiopathic macular hole closure, in eyes that underwent internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling and eyes that did not. METHODS This was a retrospective, non-randomised, comparative study. C...

We study the simple random walk on Uniform Infinite Half-Plane Map, which is local limit of critical Boltzmann planar maps with a large and boundary. prove that recurrent, resistance between root boundary hull radius r at least order logr. This bound expected to be sharp, better than those following from previous proofs recurrence for nonbounded-degree models. Our main tools are self-duality un...

The horizontal and vertical distributions of selected taxa that dcminate the pelagic zooplankton com· munity (> 0.2 mm) within the Palmer Loog-Tenn Ecological Research (LTFR) ItUdy region are described. In addition to a synthesis of existing published descriptions for euphawiids, saIps, and copepods, two newly available datasets are analyud . Recent observations (1991-1994) obtained as part of ...
