Adverse events associated with intraocular injection of anti-VEGF(bevacizumab) in retinal vein ccclusion: a case report
Introduction: Antiangiogenic agents are often administered for treatment of Branch Retinal Vein
Occlusion (BRVO). Among them, Bevacizumab has noticeable antiangiogenic and antiedemigenic properties and
possesses great capacity to penetrate the retinal tissue, particularly in pathological circumstances characterized by
altered external or internal blood-retinal barrier.Bevacizumab has an optimal bio-efficacy based on inhibition of the
activity of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF). Nonetheless, despite its efficacy, here we describe the
adverse effects associated with intraocular injection of bevacizumab in a patient affected by retinal vein occlusion.
Case presentation: We present a case report of an 11-year old Caucasian malesubject affected by BRVO in his left
eye. The patient underwent an intra-vitreal (i.v.) injection of bevacizumab 100 (1.25 mg/0.05ml). After that, the
patient was monitored over time through a series of analyses including Ocular Coherence Tomography,
Fluorangiography, Bulbar Ultrasound, Angio MRI BCVA scores and Intra Ocular Pressure. Results: Immediately
after the i.v. injection, the patient experienced a strong and relentless pain radiating from the left ocular orbit, caused
by a serious and unexpected malignant glaucoma and phthisis bulbi. Furthermore, the patient did not show any sign
of improvement in visual function in the follow-up and at last required an ophthalmic prosthesisas a result of a subatrophic
and hypotonic eyeball. Conclusion: This case report suggests that i.v. injections of anti-VEGFs should be
considered wit
AVIRIS scan drive design and performance
The Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS) images the ground with an instantaneous field of view (IFOV) of 1 mrad. The IFOV is scanned 30 deg from left to right to provide the cross-track dimension of the image, while the aircraft's motion provides the along-track dimension. The scanning frequency is 12 Hz, with a scan efficiency of 70 percent. The scan mirror has an effective diameter of 5.7 in, and its positional accuracy is a small fraction of a milliradian of the nominal position-time profile. Described are the design and performance of the scan drive mechanism. Tradeoffs among various approaches are discussed, and the reasons given for the selection of the cam drive

Annual Report 2009/2010
Violence against women remains a critical issue in Canada.Violence affects not only a woman's physical and emotional wellbeing but also her children, her career and her life. With your support, we invested over $1million this year in programs that help women and children rebuild their lives after experiencing violence, and programs that prevent violence against women, by working with girls and teens to educate them before the violence starts. In the last year, you helped us fund programs that provide emergency shelter and basic needs; emergency loan programs to help women get re-established in the community after leaving an abusive relationship; programs that focus on healing and re-building self-esteem for women and for their children that have witnessed abuse; and programs that work to provide safe, affordable and independent housing away from the abuser. We have also focused our investments on programs that educate girls and teens about healthy relationships
