case report by Dr. Rishworth so this note is confined to the description of the parasites. Specimen 1.?This was removed from an eye by Sir J. N. Duggan of Bombay and was found to comprise two fragments of a female worm. One portion about 6.5 cm. in length was the anterior end and it was 0.54 to 0.58 mm, in diameter. The head is bluntly rounded and the mouth is an inconspicuous opening in the an...

Background and Objectives. A new two-step hysteroscopic myomectomy carried out in the office setting and without anesthesia was feasible for the excision of submucous myomas. The objective of this study was to assess whether removal of submucous myomas from the uterine cavity after hysteroscopic laser enucleation is necessary. Methods. Between June 2009 and April 2013, all outpatients with symp...

Introduction: Lipomas are among the most common tumors of the human body. However, they are uncommon in the oral cavity and are observed as slow growing, painless, and asymptomatic yellowish submucosal masses. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice and recurrence is not expected.    Case Report: The case of a 30-year-old woman with a huge lipoma on the tip of her tongue since 3 years, is ...

The near-field gap effects are investigated in planar dielectric microdisc and waveguide coupling structures, emphasizing miniaturization of integrated sensor systems. The simulation results show that the resonance frequency is not obviously affected by the gap dimension when the gap between a microcavity and its coupler is larger than 300 nm. However, the resonance frequency shifts observably ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the impact of anatomical dimensions as measured using preoperative magnetic resonance imaging on the outcomes of robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 100 consecutive robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy procedures that were carried out by a single surgeon at the Division of Urology, Department of Surgery, Tottori University ...

Comprehensive studies were carried out to investigate the light extraction efficiency of thin-film flip-chip (TFFC) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with anatase TiO(2) microsphere arrays by employing the finite-difference time-domain method. The quantum well position and the resonant cavity effect were studied to obtain optimum light extraction for the planar TFFC LED. Further enhancement in light...

In a prospective survey, 200 cases of operated chronic dacryocystitis were divided into three groups according to the kind of operation, and the respective results are as follows: Group I includes 100 cases in whom the lacrimal bone was removed (8mm x 8mm) and a 6mm diameter catheter was used (as a duct between the lacrimal sac and nasal cavity). The recurrence rate within one year was 24 ...
