BACKGROUND Surgically induced astigmatism (SIA) was one of the factors that influences the desirable refractive outcome, and it was related to the length, type, location, structure of the incision and to the suture closure technique, etc. The aim was to evaluate the association of corneal histocytological changes with SIA after phacoemulsification. METHODS The study enrolled 68 cases of catar...

We have observed the enzymatic production of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) doublestrand breaks in Escherichia coli K12 after ultraviolet irradiation. Doublestrand breaks appeared in wild-type, polA1, recB21, recA, and exrA strains after incubation in minimal medium. THE UVRA6 strain showed no evidence of double-strand breakage under the same conditions. Our data suggest that uvr+ cells, which are...

Penoscrotal transposition (PST) is a rare anomaly of the external genitalia that can be complete or incomplete while incomplete type is more common. Various surgical methods are described for correction of incomplete PST. Modified Glenn Anderson’s method is commonly used. This method is known to cause major penile lymphoedema following surgery. Various modifications have been described to prese...

PURPOSE To review the results of indirect reduction and mini-incision dynamic condylar screw (DCS) fixation for comminuted subtrochanteric femoral fractures. METHODS 29 men and 14 women aged 25 to 65 (mean, 44) years with comminuted subtrochanteric femoral fractures underwent indirect reduction and mini-incision DCS fixation. Fractures were classified according to the AO classification (10 ty...

In surgeries that require the implantation of a pacemaker, the endocardial pacemaker leads are introduced into the cardiac chambers through subclavian or axillary venous catheterization or cephalic vein cutdown. The drawback of this type of surgery is scarring of the pectoral area, which can be a serious cosmetic problem especially for young women. In this study, we report on 2 cases where a pe...

The present study aimed to discuss the advantage of the application of a cervical low incision for functional neck dissection in patients with thyroid papillary carcinoma. The study was a retrospective analysis of 87 thyroid papillary carcinoma patients; cervical low incision in the functional neck dissection was applied for 47 cases and the classic 'L' incision was applied for 40 cases. The di...

Aim: To contemplate on the evolution of thyroid surgeries and assess its outcome, feasibility preferred surgical technique in surgeries. Thyroid have continued to evolve since many years with Kocher’s neck incision being classical for all Benign diseases been more commonly treated surgically approaches such evolved over years. Hence, they are approached both functionally aesthetically giving a ...
