The aim of the study was to compare conventional surgery with carbon dioxide (CO(2)) laser applied on oral soft tissue pathologies and evaluate effect collateral thermal damage histopathological diagnosis. Anesthesia need, postoperative pain, intraoperative complications were examined as part comparison.Forty-three patients (32 female 11 male) a mean age 54 (54 +/- 7.0) requiring surgeries randomly assigned receive treatment either using scalpel or CO(2) technique. method systemic pain...

Purpose. The aim of this study is to examine the influence capsulotomy size on, spherical equivalent (SE), intraocular pressure (IOP), and macular thickness. Materials Methods. Sixty-eight patients were examined preoperatively 1, 4, 12 weeks after Nd:YAG capsulotomy. Patients divided into two groups based on postoperative size. Changes in SE, IOP, thickness compared between groups. Results. We found a higher hyperopic shift large group. In both 1 2, IOP increased week postoperatively....

To report the clinical outcomes of deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) in patients with corneal stromal scars associated various etiologies.A total 79 eyes sparing Descemet membrane and endothelium underwent DALK by using big-bubble technique. The main outcome measures study were ability to successfully complete DALK, intraoperative postoperative complications, best spectacle-corrected visual acuity, refraction, graft clarity.Seventy-two surgical procedures carried out as mean...

To investigate the effect of oral caffeine intake on choroidal thickness using optical coherence tomography (OCT).Eighteen otherwise healthy users and 18 controls were enrolled. All participants underwent OCT scanning with high-speed resolution spectral-domain device (3D 2000, Topcon, Japan) at baseline, 1 3 h following 200-mg in study after placebo control group. The measurements taken morning (10-12 am) to avoid diurnal fluctuation.The median fovea prior was 337.00 (IQR 83.75) μm, which...

To investigate the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness changes in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) for one year follow-up. discuss possibility of detecting tendency glaucoma this population by using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (3D-OCT-2000 Spectral domain).After polysomnographic study, all subjects (64 OSAS and 40 controls) underwent detailed ophthalmological examination. After these examinations, who had and/or systemic disease were excluded from...

To compare the differences in intraoperative complications rates by number of resident-performed sequential phacoemulsification surgeries.Preoperative and postoperative ophthalmological examination records data 180 eyes 140 patients who underwent cataract surgery two residents between November 2009 February 2012 were analyzed retrospectively. The separated into 3 groups based on operations performed: Group A (first 1-60 eyes), group B (61-120 eyes) C (last 121-180 eyes). direct supervisor...

To compare noncycloplegic and cycloplegic results of Retinomax measurements with findings achieved after cycloplegia using table-top autorefractor retinoscopy.The study included 127 patients (mean age 96.7mo, range 21 to 221). (Rmax) (Nikon Inc., Japan) was used obtain refraction. Under cycloplegia, refraction measured Rmax, (TTR) NRK 8000, retinoscopy. The values sphere, spherical equivalent, cylinder axis were recorded for TTR retinoscopy in each eye. All analyzed statistically.THE MEAN...

To evaluate the relation of central corneal thickness (CCT) and intraocular pressure (IOP) in preterm full-term newborns.The study included infants who were admitted to neonatal intensive care unit. A group consecutive newborns served as control group. Linear multiple regression analysis carried out assess association IOP with sex, gestational/postconceptional age, birthweight, mean oxygenation time, stages retinopathy prematurity (ROP), CCT. also CCT ROP.Mean was 17.5 ± 2.1 mm Hg premature...

To investigate the macular changes in eyes filled with silicone oil (SO) and course of these after SO removal.A retrospective optical coherence tomography scan review was conducted for twenty-four patients who underwent uncomplicated pars plana vitrectomy tamponade complex retinal detachments were detected before, one week, month three months removal.Mean duration 3.6±1.0mo (range: 3-7mo). Cystoid edema (CME) 3 before removal. Submacular fluid represented 1 eye Resolution CME submacular...

This study was designed to compare the normal and glaucomatous eyes regarding retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness peripapillary choroidal (PCT), investigate correlation of RNFL PCT.Subjects were selected as a convenience sample those from tertiary referral practice glaucoma. Thirty-two accepted group 1; 30 2. Groups compared for PCT. Correlations PCT assessed each location.Mean inferior superior in 1 significantly lower than control group; mean thicknesses temporal nasal quadrants not...

To investigate the correlation of choroidal thickness with outer and inner retinal layers.A retrospective OCT scan review was conducted for healthy patients. Choroidal, layer, layer thicknesses were measured at fovea 500 μm, 1,000 1,500 μm temporal nasal to fovea. Retinal also foveal center. Choroidal (CT) compared different locations, CT layers examined.Mean thinnest nasally, thicker in subfoveal region, then thinner again temporally. Correlations found between points slightly higher than...

A 25-year-old man suffered an isolated lens anterior capsular tear and mature cataract formation following blunt injury to his right eye. One week after the trauma, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in eye was hand motion. B-scan ultrasonography showed that posterior capsule intact; no vitreous foreign body or retinal pathology were observed. Orbital computed tomography revealed narrowed chamber increased material volume reflectivity injured The globe intact bone fractures cataractous...

Bisphosphonates are commonly used drugs in pediatric patients the treatment of osteoporotic diseases and various types cancers. The purpose this study was to evaluate effects pamidronate administration on mandibular growth tooth eruption new born rats.Forty Sprague Dawley rats were included divided into four groups as; 14th day group, 30th control group group. Pamidronate daily injected with 1.25 µg/g disodium subcutaneously whereas sterile saline. Eruption levels lower incisor molar teeth...
