Purpose To compare the intermodality and interreader agreement for geographic atrophy (GA) lesion size quantification in green-light fundus autofluorescence (GAF; excitation = 518 nm) versus combined blue-light fundus autofluorescence (BAF; excitation = 488 nm) and near-infrared reflectance (NIR; 820 nm) -based grading. Methods Confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (cSLO) GAF, BAF, and NIR i...

aim: to report a patient with fundus flavimaculatus or macular dystrophy with flecks, who came to medical attention due to deteriorated vision in one eye and combined hamartoma of the retina and retinal pigment epithelium. case presentation: a 26 year old lady was referred with history of progressive decreased vision in both eyes since childhood with recently deteriorated vision in her right ey...

BACKGROUND We present a case of a combined hamartoma of the retina and retinal pigment epithelium associated with a subfoveal acquired vitelliform lesion induced by vitreomacular traction. The purpose of this report is to present a unifying hypothesis of these concurrent findings, as aided by multimodal imaging. CASE PRESENTATION A 25-year-old white man presented with a 6-month history of a v...

The chronic changes in sleep-wakefulness (S-W), body temperature (Tb), locomotor activity (LMA) and thermal preference were studied in male Wistar rats after the destruction of neurons in both the medial preoptic area (mPOA) and the medial septum (MS) by intracerebral injection of N-methyl-D-aspartic acid. An increase in the Tb, and a preference for higher ambient temperature (Tamb) of 30 degre...

abstract   squamous cell carcinoma (scc) is the most common malignant tumors of oral cavity. the ratio of men to women is about 2: 1. generally, it   is admitted that 60% of carcinoma of the mandibular gingival are located in the posterior of premolars. gingiva is one of the less common sites of oral squamous cell carcinoma (oscc). due to the variable clinical and behavioral presentations, it c...

background: the optimal strategy in percutaneous coronary intervention (pci) for coronary artery bifurcation lesions has yet to be agreed upon. we compared a strategy for stenting the main vessel to provide a complete perfusion flow in the side branch, namely thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (timi) - iii, with a strategy for intervention in both the main vessel and the side branch (mv + sb...
