The caudate nucleus (CN) is composed of a head, body and tail. The head of the CN contributes to forming the floor of the lateral ventricle frontal horn. Moreover, the head, which is medially separated by the septum pellucidum extends beyond the anterior part of the thalamus, stroking the telencephalic cortex. The superior part of the head is covered by the knee of the corpus callosum, while th...

This study aims to compare the efficacy and safety between two different doses of intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) injection with temporal retina-sparing laser (TRSL) photocoagulation for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). We retrospectively evaluated 22 eyes of ROP infants who underwent IVB combined with partial TRSL for stage 3+ zone I or posterior zone II ROP. Laser photocoagulation was applied...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to analyze the available clinical data on postoperative intracerebral hemorrhages that occur in locations remote from the sites of craniotomy. METHODS The findings of 37 cases of postoperative intracerebral hemorrhages occurring remote from the craniotomy sites were reviewed (5 from our records and 32 from the literature). RESULTS Remote postoperative...

In this paper, we summarize the development and application of two novel magnetic resonance based measurements of retinal oxygenation in experimental models of retinopathy, including diabetic retinopathy and retinopathy of prematurity. We use 19F-NMR and a small (microl) perfluorocarbon drop positioned in the preretinal vitreous space to make PO2 measurement of the inner retina. In addition, we...
