Objective: To present the outcomes of scleral buckle (SB) removal with and without concurrent prophylactic laser retinopexy.
Design: Retrospective, interventional case series.
Participants: Eighty-seven eyes of 87 patients who had SB removal after primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repair.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the 1-year incidence of retinal tear or retinal detachment following 23-gauge pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for epiretinal membrane (ERM), macular hole (MH), or vitreomacular traction (VMT).
Methods: A retrospective chart review of all patients who underwent 23-gauge PPV for ERM, MH, or VMT between January 1, 2007, and December 31, 2007, was performed. Inclusion criteria included age greater than 50 years and absence of other significant ocular pathology.
Many studies have demonstrated the presence of scale invariance and long-range correlation in animal and human neuronal spike trains. The methodologies to extract the fractal or scale-invariant properties, however, do not address the issue as to the existence within the train of fine temporal structures embedded in the global fractal organisation. The present study addresses this question in human spike trains by the chaos game representation (CGR) approach, a graphical analysis with which specific temporal sequences reveal themselves as geometric structures in the graphical representation.
