Macular hole surgery is very demand surgery performed due to fullthickness macular rupture characterized by abscence of all retinal layers. Indications for surgery includes stages 3 and 4 regarding to Gass classification. Some authors sugest surgery for stage 2 but results are promissing only in anatomical reconstruction. Complications are evident such as cataract, late macular reopening, retin...

Choroidal osteoma is a benign ossified tumor first described by Gass et al in 1978 (1). These tumors are predominantly observed in young healthy women, and are unilateral in the majority of cases. The most serious vision-threatening complication is the formation of choroidal neovascular membrane (CNVM) and its sequelae such as subretinal hemorrhage, serous detachment, macular edema, and discifo...

Naitoh and Ono, by Simulating Couette flow, re­ cently measured the hardsphere viscosity coefficient for 108 hard spheres at the freezing density [1]. A pe­ riodic system undergoing homogeneous shear was studied with molecular dynamics. Similar calculations have also been carried out using the Lennard-Jones REE-EYRING potential [2-4]. At the freezing density Naitoh and Ono use a square­ "N ALDE...

Acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epithelidpathy ( A P M P P E ) is becoming a frequently described entity." The manifes­ tations of the disease, however, appear to be protean and associated with anterior and pos­ terior uveitis. This has led some authors 6 to suggest the choriocapillaris as the primary site of inflammation. Gass and Ryan and Maumenee, however, favor the retinal pig­ m...

Until recently, many scholars attributed the divergence in Middle Eastern and Western European economic development to the "conservative nature" of Islam. This paper departs from such scholarship, suggesting that institutions supporting economically inhibitive laws are more likely to be self-enforcing in the Muslim world – providing an appearance of conservatism. A theoretical model suggests th...

Irvine (I953) emphasized that macular degeneration was a major complication in cataract extraction. Gass and Norton (I966) described the appearance of aphakic cystoid macular oedema as shown by fluorescein angiography in patients who experienced a fall in visual acuity 4 to I2 weeks after cataract extraction. Gass and Norton (i 969) showed that, while the oedema settled in 6 months in 50 per ce...

32p testing for suspected ocular malignancy has been performed during the past three years at the Mayo Clinic in a manner similar to that described by Shields, Sarin, Federman, Mensheha-Manhart, and Carmichael (I 974). Until recently our technique differed, however, in that we administered the 32p orally rather than intravenously. A dose of 750 ,tCi of 32p was given to the patient orally on an ...

This paper examines the intricate relationship between working memory (WM) capacity and inhibitory control as a function of both L2 proficiency and age. In both its design and research questions, this study closely follows Gass & Lee's work, where both L1 and L2 Reading Span Tasks (as measures of WM capacity) and L1 and L2 Stroop interference tasks (to measure inhibitory control) were admin...

Can a family physician practise good medicine without following clinical practice guidelines? Obviously, you have the right to come back with, “What do you mean by good medicine?” Let’s define it for our present purposes as that promoted by the 4 principles of family medicine: a family physician is a skilled clinician, family medicine is a community-based discipline, a family physician is a res...
