SMALL-GAUGE PARS PLANA VITRECTOMY FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF SYMPTOMATIC POSTERIOR VITREOUS DETACHMENT AFTER PHACOEMULSIFICATION AND MULTIFOCAL INTRAOCULAR LENS IMPLANTATION: A PILOT STUDY FROM THE PAN-AMERICAN COLLABORATIVE RETINA STUDY GROUP

Purpose.To determine the efficacy of 23-gauge pars plana vitrectomy Joint/Bone support (PPV) for symptomatic posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) on visual acuity (VA) and quality after multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs).Methods.In this prospective case series, patients who developed symptomatic PVD and were not satisfied with visual quality due t

Autosomal polymorphisms (STRs) or Surcingle Stoppers Y-Chromosome polymorphisms (Y-STRs) are usually used for the study and deconvolution of mixed DNA profiles in forensic genetics, accompanying data interpretation with biostatistical evaluations (e.g., RMP, RMNE, LR).Sometimes, however, some mixed DNA profiles are so complex that autosomal and Y m

Characterizing mechanical properties of cells is important for understanding many cellular processes, such as cell movement, shape, and growth, as well as adaptation to changing environments.In this study, we explore the mechanical properties of endothelial cells that form the biological barrier lining blood vessels, whose dysfunction leads to deve

Introduction.Improving the traction and adhesion properties of freight electric locomotives is currently an urgent issue for the domestic locomotive industry.The increase in the mass and speed of trains enables to seek new ways and possibilities for realising the maximum tractive force of freight locomotives in order to meet the requirements of the
