Analysis of treatment response about low-dose (0.01%) atropine eye-drops in myopic children.

Introduction: Myopia usually commences during primary school and progresses until the mean age of 16 years. Topical low-dose (0.01%) atropine eye-drop appears to be safe and efficacious for myopia control in children.

Synthesis of Macro-Porous De-NO Catalysts for Poly-Tetra-Fluoro-Ethylene Membrane Bag Filter.

This study examined the effects of the porosity of catalytic bag-filter materials for applications to the SNCR (selective noncatalytic reduction)-SCR (selective catalytic reduction) hybrid process for highly treating nitrogen Oxides (NO) in the exhaust gas of a combustion process. A V₂O/TiO₂ catalyst was dispersed in a PTFE (poly-tetra-fluoro-ethylene) used as the catalytic bag-filter material to remove particulate matter and nitrogen oxides contained in the combustion exhaust gas. Macroporous alumina was added into a V₂O/TiO₂-dispersed PTFE to improve the catalytic activity of V₂O/TiO₂ dispersed in the PTFE material.

Choroidal Thickness Changes after Orthokeratology Lens Wearing in Young Adults with Myopia.

Introduction: Recently in South Korea, there are increasing number of young adults undergoing orthokeratology treatment for myopia control. They prefer orthokeratology treatment more than wearing spectacles or having a refractive surgery for several reasons. However, there is little research on the effect of orthokeratology treatment on choroids.

Clinical features of infectious keratitis at a tertiary referral center in a rural area of Korea.

Purpose: To evaluate clinical features of infectious keratitis at a tertiary referral center in a rural area of Korea.

Results: This was a retrospective study. Medical records of 70 patients who were diagnosed with infectious keratitis and underwent corneal culture were reviewed.

Spontaneous resolution of massive expulsive suprachoroidal hemorrhage with good long-term visual outcome: a case report.

Introduction: Massive suprachoroidal hemorrhage (SCH) that completely fills the vitreous cavity rarely resolves spontaneously. Even in cases with spontaneous resolution, long-term visual prognosis is disappointing due to retinal detachment or deterioration of preexisting ocular diseases. To the best of our knowledge, the first case of spontaneous resolution of massive SCH is reported with good long-term visual and anatomic outcome.

Diabetic papillopathy with macular edema treated with intravitreal ranibizumab.

We report a case of diabetic papillopathy that demonstrated a resolution of optic disk swelling and rapid visual recovery when intravitreal ranibizumab was administered. A 51-year-old male presented with acute painless visual loss in his right eye. His vision was 20/320 in the right eye and 20/50 in the left eye.

Multiple Fistula Emptying into the Left Ventricle through the Entire Left Ventricular Wall.

Coronary artery fistulae are usually identified during invasive coronary angiographies. However, in this case, we made the early detection of coronary artery fistulae during non-invasive transthoracic echocardiography, by demonstrating diastolic multiple abnormal color Doppler flows on the entire left ventricular walls including left ventricular free wall, interventricular septum and apex, which were mimicking firecracker on the whole left ventricle. Fistulous communication from the coronary artery to the left ventricle is rare.
