Suprachoroidal hemorrhage during femtosecond laser assisted cataract surgery.

Purpose:To describe a case of suprachoroidal hemorrhage that occurred during femtosecond laser assisted cataract surgery (FLACS). Observations:A 67-year-old woman with high myopia underwent FLACS. Following two unsuccessful attempts at docking due to interface air bubbles, the third attempt was successful. Laser treatment and cataract surgery proceeded uneventfully until intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. While positioning the IOL within the capsular bag, the anterior chamber began to shallow, intraocular pressure became high by palpation, and the optic of the IOL prolapsed partially out of the bag. A segmental suprachoroidal hemorrhage was identified in the superior peripheral retina by intraoperative indirect ophthalmoscopy. Following an hour of waiting in the recovery room, the anterior chamber deepened and the intraocular pressure was low enough to position the IOL centrally within the bag. Her subsequent postoperative course was uneventful. Conclusions and Importance:To our knowledge, this is the first report of suprachoroidal hemorrhage during FLACS. We speculate that repeated sudden drops in intraocular pressure associated with multiple undockings triggered the suprachoroidal hemorrhage in this case

Transparency in monetary policy and management of inflationary expectations

Son yıllarda pek çok merkez bankası para politikasının şeffaf olması konusuna büyük bir önem vermiştir. Merkez bankasının amacındaki netlik ve bu amaca nasıl ulaşılacağı konusundaki şeffaflık, belirsizliği ortadan kaldırarak ekonomik birimlerin gelecekle ilgili doğru kararlar almasını kolaylaştırmaktadır. Enflasyon düzeyini belirleyen önemli faktörlerden biri olan enflasyonist beklentiler para politikasında şeffaflık sağlanması sonucu azaltılabilmekte ve merkez bankasının enflasyon hedefiyle uyumlu bir seviyeye getirilebilmektedir. Bu çalışmada, para politikasında şeffaflık sağlanarak enflasyonist beklentilerin yönlendirilebildiği ve bu politikanın enflasyonla mücadelede etkili sonuçlar doğurduğu gösterilmektedir.In recent years, central banks paid a great attention to the transparency of monetary policy. The clarity in central bank's target and the transparency how it achieves this target enable economic units to make correct decisions by eliminating the uncertainty. Thus, inflationary expectations, which are one of the important factors impacting the inflation level, can be reduced and brought to a level in line with the central bank's target. This study demonstrates that inflationary expectations can be managed by the provision of transparency in the monetary policy and this type of monetary policy bears effective outcomes in fighting with inflation

Late complications of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation

Com os avanços significativos no transplante de células-tronco hematopoéticas, (TCTH) nas duas últimas décadas, um grande grupo de pacientes sobreviveu mais de vinte anos após o transplante para doenças hematológicas e oncológicas. O grande número de sobreviventes de longo prazo propiciou uma oportunidade única de se estudar a evolução desses transplantes a longo prazo. Esta revisão descreve as complicações tardias dos TCTH relacionadas ao regime de condicionamento, a recidiva da neoplasia primária e a toxicidade relacionada ao transplante, com ênfase no diagnóstico e tratamento da doença enxerto-contra-hospedeiro crônica.Significant advances in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has resulted in a large cohort of patients surviving more than 20 years after transplantation for hematological and malignant disorders. The increased number of long-term survivors has provided an unique opportunity to study the late effects of the HSCT. This review describes the late complications of HSCT related to the conditioning regimen, recurrence of primary malignancy and transplant-related toxicity with an emphasis on diagnosis and treatment of chronic graft-versushost disease

A DESCRIPTIVE-EXPLANATORY APPROACH TO EUPHEMIZATION: THE TRANSLATION OF THE "PAINTED BIRD" INTO TURKISH

L’eufemització de textos amb càrrega sexual no s’ha de considerar només com una elecció personal del traductor, sinó com una estratègia alternativa per gestionar dinàmiques polièdriques del món editorial, especialment eficaç en el cas de contextos editorials restrictius, que poden requerir l’evasió per garantir una publicació sense problemes i minimitzar el risc de censura, prohibició i confiscació. Aquest estudi examina el tractament d’escenes carregades sexualment per part dels dos traductors turcs de Painted Bird, l’obra mestra de l'escriptor polonès-nord-americà Jerzy Kosinski sobre una Europa de la postguerra destrossada i explora les estratègies utilitzades en el text objectiu per reflectir i propagar hegemonia ideològica en el context turc, centrant-se en els processos d’eufemització. El marc teòric es va basar en Estudis de traducció descriptiva i explicativa (Toury 1995: 33; 1998: 11) (d’ara endavant DETS) recolzats per Critical Discourse Analysis (d’ara endavant CDA), en què el model tridimensional de Fairclough (1992a: 4; 1992b: 213) format per text, pràctiques discursives i pràctiques socials crea un pla de suport. Els DETS emprats per part dels traductors en aquesta perspectiva posen de manifest la incorporació d’estratègies eufemístiques, com a intents preventius de minimitzar els riscos socials i polítics, com a reflex de la dinàmica interna del país.Euphemization regarding sexually-loaded texts should not merely be considered as a translator’s personal choice, but as an alternative strategy to handle multifaceted dynamics of publishing world, especially efficient in the case of restrictive publishing contexts, which might require evasion to ensure trouble-free publication and to minimize the risk of censorship, prohibition, and confiscation. This study examines the treatment of sexually-loaded scenes by the two Turkish translators of Painted Bird, Polish-American writer Jerzy Kosinski’s master-work of a shattered post-War Europe, and to explore the strategies used in the target text to mirror and propagate ideological hegemony in Turkish context, focusing on the euphemization processes. The theoretical framework was built upon Descriptive-Explanatory Translation Studies (Toury 1995: 33; 1998: 11) (henceforth DETS) backed by Critical Discourse Analysis (henceforth CDA) in which Fairclough’s (1992a: 4; 1992b: 213) three-dimensional model consisting of text, discursive practices and social practices creates a supportive plane. DETS employed in this perspective throws light on translators’ incorporation of euphemistic strategies as preemptive attempts to minimize social and political risks as the reflections of the internal dynamics of the country

Hyperbaric levobupivacaine in anal surgery : spinal perianal and spinal saddle blocks

An ideal anesthetic technique for anal surgery on an outpatient basis should permit early mobilization without pain or residual complications of anesthesia. The aim of this study was to analyze the reliability and efficacy of spinal perianal and spinal saddle block by using two different doses of levobupivacaine for perianal surgery and their effects on voiding, first analgesic requirement and hospital discharge times. A prospective, randomized, double-blinded study was conducted on 78 ASA I-II patients scheduled for elective perianal surgery. Patients were randomized into two groups, the spinal perianal group and the spinal saddle group. Hyperbaric levobupivacaine 1.5 mg (perianal) or 6 mg (saddle) was administered intrathecally through the L4-5 intervertebral space by a 25-gauge Whitacre spinal needle with the patient in the sitting position. Sensory block was evaluated using a surgical toothless clamp until satisfactory block reached the S4 sensory level and motor block was evaluated using a modified Bromage scale. Patient and surgeon satisfaction were recorded for each patient. Ambulation, voiding and hospital discharge times were assessed. There was no statistical difference between the two groups demographically. Perianal low dose levobupivacaine use resulted in no motor block (Bromage=0, p=0.006) and a sensory block limited to the S4 level. The low and conventional doses of levobupivacaine provided sufficient anesthesia during the surgical procedures. The sensory block regression time in the perianal block group was shorter than the saddle group (p=0.048). Time to first analgesic requirement was significantly longer in the saddle block group (p < 0.05). The times of first ambulation, the first voiding and hospital discharge in patients with the perianal block were significantly shorter than patients in the saddle block (p < 0.05, p < 0.01, p < 0.05, respectively). The results of the study showed that the use of 1.5 mg hyperbaric levobupivacaine provides sufficient and satisfactory anesthesia in ambulatory perianal surgery
