Preliminary inter-rater reliability of the wheelchair components questionnaire for condition.

Purpose: The Wheelchair Components Questionnaire for Condition (WCQ-C) enables the collection of data on wheelchair maintenance condition and durability in resource-limited environments. It can be used in large studies to indicate typical patterns of wear at a location, or for a type of wheelchair. It can also be used in clinical settings as an evidence based indication that a wheelchair may need repair or replacement.

Fibrovascular ingrowth at sclerotomy sites in vitrectomized diabetic eyes with recurrent vitreous hemorrhage: ultrasound biomicroscopy findings.

Purpose: To evaluate the frequency of fibrovascular ingrowth (FVIG) at sclerotomy sites in vitrectomized eyes of diabetic patients with postoperative vitreous hemorrhage referred for ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM).

Design: Retrospective observational case series.
