Morphological recovery in the reattached retina of the toad Bufo marinus: a new experimental model of retinal detachment.

Background: The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) of the toad (Bufo marinus) has been used in many studies as a model for understanding its role and interaction with the neural retina. The toad's retina has been used to establish a new in vitro model of experimental retinal detachment (RD) and replacement . It has been shown that the electrophysiological measures of retinal function recovered following complete RD.

The posteromedial process fracture of the talus: a case report.

Injuries to the ankle tend to be some of the most common injuries seen in practice. Of these ankle injuries, fractures of the posteromedial process of the talus are often misdiagnosed as ankle sprains because of poor visualization on routine ankle radiographs. The examining physician must have a heightened awareness of this injury to accurately diagnose and treat this fracture.
