PURPOSE To compare the postoperative results of phacotrabeculectomy with implantation of PMMA, foldable silicone or foldable hydrofobic acrylic intraocular lens (IOL). SETTING Glaucoma unit, The Royal Liverpool University Hospital, Liverpool, United Kingdom. METHODS We studied a total of 124 eyes of three consecutive groups of patients with glaucoma and cataract that underwent phacotrabecul...

Origami-inspired foldable structures have seen much recent interest for applications in which transportability or rapid construction are primary design drivers, for example emergency shelters and temporary staging structures. This paper proposes a new type of a structural module that can be manually folded from flat steel sheet into a novel self-braced triangular structural section. Simple geom...

Foldable organic memory on cellulose nanofibril paper with bendable and rollable characteristics is demonstrated by employing initiated chemical vapor deposition (iCVD) for polymerization of the resistive switching layer and inkjet printing of the electrode, where iCVD based on all-dry and room temperature process is very suitable for paper electronics. This memory exhibits a low operation volt...

With the improvement of aircraft requirements in civil and military fields, are developing towards direction high efficiency multi-mission. Foldable wing with large deformation capability will be able to meet flight performance under different conditions. Based on bionic design concept, a feather-like foldable morphing based multi-link mechanism from characteristics birds was designed. In order...

Foldable photoelectronics and muscle-like transducers require highly stretchable and transparent electrical conductors. Some conducting oxides are transparent, but not stretchable. Carbon nanotube films, graphene sheets and metal-nanowire meshes can be both stretchable and transparent, but their electrical resistances increase steeply with strain <100%. Here we present highly stretchable and tr...

PURPOSE To evaluate unexpected, acute intraocular anterior segment inflammation following uneventful cataract extraction by phacoemulsification and foldable posterior chamber intraocular lens (PCIOL) implantation. METHODS This retrospective study evaluated five cases of postoperative inflammation that occurred after cataract extraction with foldable PCIOL implantation. Medical records were re...
