Purpose: To utilize optical coherence tomography (OCT) and SS-OCT angiography (SS-OCTA) for quantifying morphological changes seen in eyes with recalcitrant neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) transitioned to intravitreal faricimab injections during the manufacturer's recommended induction phase of treatment.
Methods: Fifty-four treatment-recalcitrant patients (60 eyes) were recruited. OCT and SS-OCTA images were obtained at 0 and 3 months.
Objective: To investigate the association between polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and the rate of embryo development, using time-lapse monitoring systems, compared with a control group of women with mechanical (tubal) factor infertility.
Design: A retrospective case-control study conducted in a university-affiliated in vitro fertilization (IVF) unit.
Patients: Women with PCOS undergoing IVF treatments and those with non-PCOS controls with tubal factor infertility only.
We present a design and first use of a kJ level laser facility for research of non-local thermodynamic equilibrium atomic physics using the buried layer target method. The target design included a metal layer buried inside a plastic tamper with thicknesses tailored to the expected laser intensities. The target was illuminated from each side by two laser beams with intensities of 0.
