The presence of harmful pesticide residues in food has caused a great concern among the consumers. Hence, world over ...

PURPOSE To evaluate a spectral imaging technique to detect the area of internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling after vitrectomy for idiopathic macular hole. MATERIALS AND METHODS In a prospective study, 15 eyes of 15 patients with idiopathic macular holes were tested. After vitrectomy with ILM peeling, retinal images were taken with color fundus photography, red-free fundus photography, and ...

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 focal peeling ...

background: acne vulgaris is a chronic inflammatory disease of the pilosebaceous follicles and one of the most common skin diseases.the peeling method has been recently found to be effective for acne treatment. this study aimed to compare the efficacy of pyruvic acid 50% and salicylic acid 30% peeling in the treatment of mild to moderate acne. materials and methods: in a prospective single?blin...

Purpose. To assess functional and morphological alterations following video-documented surgery for epiretinal membranes. Methods. Forty-two patients underwent video-documented 23-gauge vitrectomy with peeling of epiretinal (ERM) and inner limiting membrane (ILM). Patient assessment was performed before and 3 and 6 months including best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), slit lamp biomicroscopy, SD...

BACKGROUND To evaluate the anatomical and visual outcomes by par plana vitrectomy with or without internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling in highly myopic eyes with macular hole retinal detachment (MHRD). METHODS MEDLINE (Ovid, PubMed) and EMBASE were used for data collection up to September 30, 2015. The parameters of anatomical success, macular hole closure and improved best corrected visu...

The modelling of the adherence energy during peeling of Pressure Sensitive Adhesives (PSA) has received much attention since the 1950's, uncovering several factors that aim at explaining their high adherence on most substrates, such as the softness and strong viscoelastic behaviour of the adhesive, the low thickness of the adhesive layer and its confinement by a rigid backing. The more recent i...

We measured the pH, water-vapor permeability, adhesive force, peeling-force, elongation rate, support flexibility, and peeling time of medicinal and over-the-counter (OTC) tape preparations containing felbinac. When measuring the pH of each preparation, Felnabion (pH 4.5) was weakly acidic, and EMEC and Tokuon (pH 7.0) were neutral. When measuring the water-vapor permeability of each preparatio...

OBJECTIVE To study the efficacy of epiretinal membrane (ERM) peeling in eyes with dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD). METHODS We retrospectively analyzed patient charts on 17 eyes (16 patients) that underwent ERM peeling with a concurrent diagnosis of dry AMD. RESULTS Eyes with concurrent dry AMD and with a good preoperative best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) (better than or equal ...
