This study was to evaluate the post operative astigmatism and visual acuity of patients after extra capsular extraction (ECCE) and phacoemulsification (PE) for the purpose of recommending the appropriate referral time for cataract extraction. Subject's hospital file data comprising 30 ECCE and 48 PE were collected and recorded according to gender and the technique employed in the surgical proce...

Capsular contraction is a frequent complication following breast augmentation. On the other hand, capsular weakness, a not widely recognized complication, may occur around the implant. A weak capsule allows the migration of the prosthesis to the lateral region of the thoracic region or inferiorly, towards the abdomen, due to gravitational forces. The cause of capsular weakness remains unresolve...

pasteurella multocida is known as one of the main organisms causing pneumonia in sheep. as immunity in pasteurellosis is serogroup specific, identification of prevalent capsular group among endemic areas is essential. the aim of this study was to molecular identification and determine of the capsular type of the p. multocida strains isolated from sheep pneumonia in iran. bacteriological and bio...

Lens capsules become fibrotic after cataract extraction. A variety of extracellular matrix (ECM) components accumulate on these capsules in association with the proliferation of lens epithelial cells. To provide a better understanding of the process of capsular fibrosis, we assessed the types of proteoglycans (PG) in human lens capsules with intraocular lenses (IOL). Lens capsules containing IO...

EHUD I. ASSIA, MD The combination of advanced glaucoma and phacodonesis with lens subluxation suggests pseudoexfoliation (PXF) syndrome, which needs to be ruled out. Another potential cause is high myopia, in which significant phacodonesis is not uncommon. Cataract extraction is certainly indicated, not only to remove the opaque media but also because of the patient’s glaucoma. Anterior displac...

BACKGROUND Non Phaco suture less cataract extraction through temporal approach retains most of the advantages of phacoemulsification but can be delivered at lower cost with better visual out come. METHODS Extra capsular cataract extraction followed by posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation was performed, on 300 eyes of 250 patients. The technique involved was posterior limbal corneal...

BACKGROUND Cataract extraction is the most common intraocular surgery taught to residents. AIM This study aims to review the complications of trainee-performed extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) so as to identify the steps in which the trainee can benefit from closer supervision and practice. SUBJECTS AND METHODS This was a descriptive retrospective study of complications in the initi...

the role of vi-capsular polysaccharide (vi-cps) in human immunity against infection caused by salmonella typhi is well known. the downstream process of purification generally causes depolymerization of vi-cps to a nonimmunogenic low molecular weight form. in the present study, a standard strain of sal. typhi ty6s was grown under submerge cultural conditions in a pilot-plant scale of 90 liter fe...
