Interface-induced magnetic polar metal phase in complex oxides.

Polar metals are commonly defined as metals with polar structural distortions. Strict symmetry restrictions make them an extremely rare breed as the structural constraints favor insulating over metallic phase. Moreover, no polar metals are known to be magnetic.

Toxic anterior segment syndrome and possible association with ointment in the anterior chamber following cataract surgery.

Purpose: To report clinical and laboratory findings of 8 cases of toxic anterior segment syndrome (TASS) related to an oily substance in the anterior chamber of patients following cataract surgery with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.

Setting: John Moran Eye Center, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA.

Methods: Eight patients had uneventful phacoemulsification by the same surgeon via clear corneal incisions with implantation of the same 3-piece silicone IOL design.
