Effect of Neodymium: YAG Laser Posterior Capsulotomy on Corneal Grafts
Patients undergoing neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) laser posterior capsulotomy for posterior capsular opacification after penetrating keratoplasty were reviewed retrospectively for incidence of graft rejection. All patients underwent extracapsular cataract extraction with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation (PC-IOL) performed as a separate or combined procedure. Only one of 20 eyes (4.7%) of 20 patients developed corneal graft rejection over a follow-up period of 6 months to 6 years after capsulotomy. Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy does not appear to increase the risk of corneal graft rejection.link_to_subscribed_fulltex
EFFECT OF ARTERIAL CHEMORECEPTOR STIMULATION WITH ALMITRINE BISMESYLATE ON PLASMA RENIN ACTIVITY, ALDOSTERONE, ACTH AND CORTISOL IN ANAESTHETIZED, ARTIFICIALLY VENTILATED CATS

Buruli ulcer : history and disease burden
A major objective of this open access book is to summarize the current status of Buruli Ulcer (BU) research for the first time. It will identify gaps in our knowledge, stimulate research and support control of the disease by providing insight into approaches for surveillance, diagnosis, and treatment of Buruli Ulcer. Book chapters will cover the history, epidemiology diagnosis, treatment and disease burden of BU and provide insight into the microbiology, genomics, transmission and virulence of Mycobacterium ulcerans. ; Supports further investigation by summarizing state of the art in the field of Buruli ulcer research Enriches understanding of epidemiology of Buruli ulcer in different geographic regions Reviews exhaustively the characteristics of Mycobacterium ulcerans diseas
