OBJECTIVE To describe an alternative method to repair exposed glaucoma drainage devices (GDDs) when conventional attempts have failed. METHODS Four eyes, from 3 patients, with severe ocular surface disease were included in the study. All eyes had previously received a Baerveldt GDD for uncontrollable intraocular pressure and postoperatively had exposed GDDs. The conjunctival defects were unre...

To newly describe the clinical and histopathological characteristics of epibulbar complex cartilaginous choristoma incidentally observed in a series of pterygium excision patients.Noncomparative case series with chart review of 8 patients.During a 4-year period, we identified 8 cases of conventional unilateral nasal subpterygial cartilaginous choristoma in 1799 pterygium patients and analyzed t...

The grouted mortise-tenon joint, invented as the connection between large prefabricated elements, is most important component in underground structures. This paper conducts analysis of load-carrying capacity performance and failure mode with 1 : prototype test key working direction different double joint types for metro station. resistance moment developed used to analyze bending bearing charac...

AIM To realize two minimally invasive techniques of scleral collagen cross-linking (SXL) at the equator and posterior pole of the eye: 1) targeted irradiation of the region with ultraviolet A (UVA) and 2) sub-Tenon injection of Sklerateks. MATERIAL AND METHODS To perform UVA-SXL, a tool was developed that includes a UV-LED light source (370 nm, 3 mW/cm2) and a polymer-coated silica multimode ...

Abstract This article aims to investigate the contact characteristics of mortise and tenon (M&T) joints in traditional timber structures. In particular, normal embedded compressive between surfaces M&T joint was investigated. Based on basic theory tenon, a elasto-plastic model, which can reflect real behavior wooden structures, proposed. Coulomb friction utilized describe tangential sli...

This study evaluates the edgewise bending moment capacity of the four most frequently used middle joints in the upholstered furniture frames. The research included the following joints: Mortise and Tenon, double Dowel, Corner Blocks and double Gusset Plates, designed in the form of middle joints and made of beech and poplar solid wood. The test results indicated that regarding the edgewise bend...
