One of the most intriguing aspects of hypnosis has been its ability to produce, ia the best Ss, very unusual subjective experiences. In the past decade these phenomena have been largely overlooked, as the emphasis in hypnosis research has been on the development of objective measures of suggestibility (Shor & Orne, 1962; Weitzenhoffer & Hilgard, 1959; 1962; 1963), the nature of hypnotic suggest...

PURPOSE To compare methods of calculating intraocular lens (IOL) power for cataract surgery in eyes that have undergone myopic laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK). METHODS Eleven eyes of eight patients who had previously undergone myopic LASIK (amount of LASIK correction, -5.50 +/- 2.61 D (SD); range, -8.78 to -2.38 D) and subsequently phacoemulsification with implantation of the SA...

purpose: in the present study we have tried to find the most reliable intraocular lens (iol) power calculation formula in patients with keratoconus (kcn) and cataract. methods: in a prospective case series between october 2010 and march 2012, eligible patients with cataract and kcn underwent phacoemulsification with iol implantation. preoperatively, based on iol master keratometric data iol pow...

BACKGROUND Encyrtid secondary parasitoids of Delphacidae have not been recorded in Japan. However, they may play an important role in the rice ecosystem because they can reduce the number of Dryinidae, the natural enemies of rice planthoppers. NEW INFORMATION We found two encyrtid species, Cheiloneurus exitiosus (Perkins, 1906) and Helegonatopus dimorphus (Hoffer, 1954), from rice paddies and...

Background Spina bifida (SB) is the most common abnormalities in neural tube defects in Iran. The aim of this study was to assess health-related quality of life in mothers of children with spina bifida and to compare their quality of life with mothers of children with cerebral palsy (CP). Materials and Methods Two-hundred and three mothers were recruited using the convenience sampling strategy...
