BACKGROUND The therapeutic effects of Meriva®, a curcumin-phospholipid (lecithin) delivery system (formulated as Norflo® tablets), on visual acuity and retinal thickness in patients with acute and chronic central serous chorioretinopathy was previously investigated in a six-month open-label study. METHODS In this follow-up study, visual acuity was again assessed by ophthalmologic evaluation a...

BACKGROUND Hydrolysed protein diets are used to diagnose and treat dogs with cutaneous adverse food reactions (CAFR). Little is known about what proportion of dogs hypersensitive to the native protein would react to its hydrolysed form. OBJECTIVES To determine the clinical allergenicity of hydrolysed poultry feather (RCU) and chicken liver diets (HZD) in dogs with chicken induced CAFR. METH...

Purpose To report the early results of suprachoroidal silicone implant surgery in intractable glaucoma. Materials and methods A modified silicone implant with no valve was implanted into the suprachoroidal space of 15 eyes with intractable glaucoma. Results The mean age of the patients was 53.0 ± 24.5 (range 7–85) years, the mean follow-up time was 17.1 ± 4.8 (range 10–28) months, and the mean ...

OBJECTIVES Comparison of classification methods using data of one clinical study. The tuning of hyperparameters is assessed as part of the methods by nested-loop cross-validation. METHODS We assess the ability of 18 statistical and machine learning classifiers to detect glaucoma. The training data set is one case-control study consisting of confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy measurement v...

The aim of the study was to report postoperative corneal and surgically induced astigmatism (SIA) in patients with preoperative against-the-rule (ATR) astigmatism who underwent superior approach manual small incision cataract surgery (MSICS). 58 eyes of 58 cataract patients with preoperative ATR astigmatism were involved in this study. All patients had operable cataracts and underwent superior ...

INTRODUCTION Although vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) therapy is approved for the treatment of partial onset seizures, its efficacy for generalized seizures has not been fully evaluated. This Investigational Device Exemption assessed the outcome of VNS therapy among patients with generalized epilepsy syndromes. METHODS Sixteen patients with pharmacoresistant generalized epilepsy syndromes and s...

PURPOSE To study the molecular pathology of human small cell lung cancer (SCLC), molecular biology approaches were used to identify genes involved in malignant progression of the cancer cells. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Microquantity differential display was used initially to identify genes expressed differentially between normal and malignant cell lines. The differences were verified by Western blo...

AIM To investigate the repeatability of proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy in the in vivo measurement of human cerebral levels of choline-containing compounds (Cho). METHODS Two consecutive scans were carried out in six healthy resting subjects at a magnetic field strength of 1.5 T. On each occasion, neurospectroscopy data were collected from 64 voxels using the same 2D chemical shift ima...

OBJECTIVE Treatment of intractable seizures other than spasms is difficult and controversial. There are few studies on efficacy of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) in treatment of patients with intractable seizure. MATERIALS & METHODS Twenty-five patients with intractable seizure other than spasm including 14 boys and 11 girls with median age of 58 months referred to university clinics of P...
