PURPOSE To report the results of managing dislocated posterior chamber intraocular lenses (PC IOLs) by externalizing the haptics through a clear corneal incision. SETTING The Retina Center at Pali Momi, Aiea, Hawaii, USA. METHODS This retrospective consecutive series comprised cases in which a dislocated PC IOL was managed with pars plana vitrectomy. With this method, the dislocated PC IOL ...

The prediction of aerodynamic characteristics and smart flap of airfoil under the ground effect are carried out by the integration of computational fluid dynamics. Considering different types of beams, a parametric bending profile of a smart flap is designed. Cantilever beam with uniformly varying load with roller support at the free end is considered in here. A pressure-based implicit procedur...

BACKGROUND Reconstruction of upper extremity deformities continues to be a challenge to the reconstructive surgeon. Various loco regional, distant and free flaps are available for reconstruction. However, each has its own set of advantages and disadvantages. Of the commonly performed local flaps, radial artery forearm flap, and the posterior interosseus artery flap stand out prominently. Rec...

background: the standard methods for reconstruction of soft tissue defects in the leg include gastrocnemius flap for proximal third defects, soleus flap for middle third and free flap in the distal third. however, there are problems with the use of free flap, like increased operative time, damage of major vessels and the need for experienced microsurgeon. mathods: this prospective study was und...

abstract background: the transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous (tram) flap remains the gold standard for postmastectomy reconstruction either immediate or delayed. however, transfer of tram flap can be associated with donor site morbidities and complications in flap. a successful reconstruction consists of careful patient selection, surgical technique and meticulous preoperative planning...

OBJECTIVE To summarize the clinical results of femoral head fracture-dislocation treated according to Pipkin classification. METHODS Atotal of 19 patients with femoral head fracture-dislocation were retrospectively analyzed from Mar. 2008 to Mar. 2015. According to the classification of Pipkin criteria, there were 4 cases in Type-I, 6 cases in Type-II, 6 cases in Type-IIIand 3 cases in Type-I...

Residual refractive error often complicates penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) and can be treated surgically in patients who are contact lens intolerant. Both photorefractive keratectomy and laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) have been used to reduce postoperative myopia and astigmatism following PKP. Reported complications of LASIK following PKP include irregular astigmatism, photoablation decen...

  Background: Electrical injury is daily compromise of our life and upper and lower extremities   are common sites of injury .   Case Presentation: A 23 years old man who had suffered high voltage electrical injury referred   to our center. He had severe left upper extremity burn and suffered from head and thoracic   injuries due to falling down from high altitude.   Treatment: Fasciotomy of th...
