Background Invasive species are among the most significant threats to biodiversity. The diet of invasive animal populations is a crucial factor that must be considered in context biological invasions. A broad dietary spectrum frequently cited characteristic species, allowing them thrive wide range environments. Therefore, empirical studies comparing and native necessary understand requirements, flexibility, associated impacts species. Methods In this study, we compared African clawed frog,...
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a recessive X-linked disease, progressiveand incurable disease that primarily affects the skeletal muscles. The dystrophin, astructural protein related to stabilization of muscle contraction absent oraltered in DMD. Patients with this exhibit wasting, impairing theability run, jump and climb ladders, culminating confinement wheelchair, onaverage 12 years old. Due inactivity immobility respiratory muscles, thesepatients will die due complications. Several...
The purpose of this study was to determine the validity non-contact infrared thermometry measure mean skin temperature in resting and exercising subjects cold, thermo-neutral hot environments. for were six healthy volunteers. Skin measured at three sites: forearm, chest calf on each subject using both contact thermistors a thermometer. Data collected rest during exercise different air temperatures (15, 25 35 degrees C). correlation r = 0.95, while obtained 0.98. results current strongly...
Précis: The PAUL Glaucoma Implant is an effective intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering device with acceptable safety profile. Its design as a nonvalved small tube diameter using vicryl ligation suture around the that posteriorly reabsorbed instead of ab luminal stent makes it option in cases selected for glaucoma drainage implantation. Purpose: aim was to determine 1-year efficacy and uniform, standardized surgical procedure. Materials Methods: Retrospective, cohort study. Patient charts were...
The XEN gel stent is a minimally invasive surgical device aimed at creating subconjunctival drainage of aqueous humor, thereby reducing intraocular pressure (IOP). Being novel device, doubts remain with regard to the efficacy and safety its implantation in early stage new users. This paper illustrates learning curve, assessed through several surgeons different expertise.This was retrospective study on first 6 implants performed by each 10 certified ophthalmic surgeons. Simultaneous cataract...
Schwannomas are benign, encapsulated, slow-growing and usually solitary tumors originating from Schwann cells of the peripheral nerve sheath. superficial peroneal nerves very rare, therefore scarcely documented in literature. The authors report a case diagnosed fibular sheath tumor with an unreported clinical presentation. A 52-year-old Caucasian female arrived to our Orthopedics Department complaining pain numbness lateral aspect her left leg. These symptoms were present for year more...
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare inherited disease affecting collagen-rich tissues. Ocular complications have been reported such as thin corneas, low ocular rigidity, keratoconus, among others. The purpose of this study to characterize corneal tomographic features in OI patients compared unaffected patients, with particular focus on commonly studied keratoconus indices.Cross-sectional case-control including 37 and age-matched controls. Patients controls underwent comprehensive...
Abstract Purpose Ultrasound cycloplasty (UCP) acts through the selective coagulation of ciliary body using high‐intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) technology. The aim this study was to investigate whether application beams targeting an external probe influences astigmatism. Methods Multicentre, prospective, single‐arm, open‐label in adult patients with primary open‐angle glaucoma and moderately uncontrolled intraocular pressure (IOP) under medication. outcome induced corneal astigmatism,...
