The authors report a case of a 48-year-old woman with a branch retinal artery occlusion after the neurosurgical coiling of a paraclinoid aneurysm. Clinical examination revealed a Hollenhorst plaque at the bifurcation of the inferior arcade and at a branch of the superior arcade with associated retinal whitening in the right eye. Follow-up examination at 8 months demonstrated improved visual acu...

A new method for the detection of pseudorabies antibody in swine sera was developed by use of the indirect immunoperoxidase plaque staining test. The indirect immunoperoxidase plaque staining test demonstrated serologic responses in pigs that were subcutaneously infected with pseudorabies virus. The test had a sensitivity and a specificity comparable to those of the complement-dependent neutral...

An 82-year-old female presented with sudden painless decrease in vision in the right eye after awakening. She could see the "superior half" of her vision from the right eye only. On examination, best-corrected vision was 20/300 in the right eye and 20/30 in the left eye. The fundus in the right eye revealed recent superotemporal branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO) with calcified plaque at th...

background: recent studies in eye plaque brachytherapy have shown a considerable difference between the dosimetric results using water phantom and a model of human eye containing realistic materials. in spite of this fact, there is a lack of simulation studies based on such a model in proton therapy literatures. in the presented work, the effect of utilizing an eye model with ocular media on pr...
