Detection of the rotator cuff tears using a novel convolutional neural network from magnetic resonance image (MRI).

The rotator cuff tear is a common situation for basketballers, handballers, or other athletes that strongly use their shoulders. This injury can be diagnosed precisely from a magnetic resonance (MR) image. In this paper, a novel deep learning-based framework is proposed to diagnose rotator cuff tear from MRI images of patients suspected of the rotator cuff tear.

Effect of ocular biometric factors on corneal biomechanical properties.

Purpose: To evaluate the effects of ocular biometric variables on corneal biomechanical properties.

Methods: A total of 102 eyes of 102 participants were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. The axial length (AL) was determined by an IOL master 500 and measurements of corneal biomechanical properties were performed using Corvis ST, integrated with pentacam results.

Topical Tacrolimus as Adjuvant Therapy to Corticosteroids in Acute Endothelial Graft Rejection After Penetrating Keratoplasty: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of topical tacrolimus 0.05% as adjuvant therapy to corticosteroids in the treatment of acute endothelial rejection of a penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) graft.

Methods: Patients with the clinical diagnosis of acute endothelial rejection of a PKP graft were randomized into 2 groups-group 1: receiving topical tacrolimus 0.

Anterior Chamber Depth Change Following Cataract Surgery in Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome; a Preliminary Study.

Purpose: To assess the pseudophakic anterior chamber depth (PP-ACD) or effective lens position (ELP) change after cataract surgery in patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX).

Methods: Consecutive eyes with PEX and cataract underwent standard phacoemulsification and were implanted with single-piece acrylic posterior chamber intraocular lenses (IOLs). Eyes with severe PEX and with axial length (AL) greater than 24 mm or less than 22 mm were not included.

Preoperative anterior segment optical coherence tomography as a predictor of postoperative phakic intraocular lens position.

Purpose: To evaluate anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) in the preoperative simulation of postoperative iris-fixated phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) position in the anterior chamber.

Setting: Farabi Eye Research Center, Department of Ophthalmology, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.

Design: Case series.

Emerging infectious threats to the blood supply: seroepidemiological studies in iran - a review.

The risk of transfusion-transmitted infections has been greatly reduced by improvements in donor screening and testing. However, newly recognized blood-borne infectious agents can be threats to blood safety. In order to evaluate the prevalence some of these agents in blood donors, a systematic review was conducted.

Efficacy of intralesional bevacizumab injection in decreasing pterygium size.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of intralesional bevacizumab injection in decreasing size of pterygium.

Methods: Seventeen patients with pterygium (14 with primary and 3 with recurrent pterygium) received intralesional injections of bevacizumab (2.5 mg/0.
