The Relationship Between Retinal Nerve Fiber Thickness and Retinal Functional Sensitivity During Oct and Static Perimeter Examinations.

Aims: To demonstrate the relationship of dependency between the thickness of the retinal nerve fiber layer and the functional sensitivity of the retina in healthy young individuals. We also secondarily investigated the relationship between refractive error and mean retinal thickness in the macula.

Material And Methods: The basic cohort contained 30 subjects with an average age of 23.

The Effect of Heterophoria on the Size of Distance and Near Fusion Vergence.

Aims: To demonstrate changes in distance and near fusional vergence measured with prism bars, while compensating for present heterophoria using current ametropia correction. In addition, to determine the differences in values of the AC/A ratio determined by the heterophoric (calculation) and gradient methods.

Material And Methods: The basic sample includes 19 subjects with a mean age of 21.

Importance of evaluation of bone invasion type in squamous cell carcinomas of the oral cavity and oropharynx.

Aims: The objective of this study was to compare bone invasion type with histopathological, clinical and immunohistochemical prognostic factors.

Methods: The study included 49 patients who were treated for oral squamous cell carcinoma. Of which, 30 patients, with presence of bone invasion on histopathology, were divided according to the type of bone invasion (erosive, infiltrative, mixed).

A Method for Evaluation the Fatigue Microcrack Propagation in Human Cortical Bone Using Differential X-ray Computed Tomography.

Fatigue initiation and the propagation of microcracks in a cortical bone is an initial phase of damage development that may ultimately lead to the formation of macroscopic fractures and failure of the bone. In this work, a time-resolved high-resolution X-ray micro-computed tomography (CT) was performed to investigate the system of microcracks in a bone sample loaded by a simulated gait cycle. A low-cycle (1000 cycles) fatigue loading in compression with a 900 N peak amplitude and a 0.

In-situ X-ray Differential Micro-tomography for Investigation of Water-weakening in Quasi-brittle Materials Subjected to Four-point Bending.

Several methods, including X-ray radiography, have been developed for the investigation of the characteristics of water-saturated quasi-brittle materials. Here, the water content is one of the most important factors influencing their strength and fracture properties, in particular, as regards to porous building materials. However, the research concentrated on the three-dimensional fracture propagation characteristics is still significantly limited due to the problems encountered with the instrumentation requirements and the size effect.

Corneal shape and eccentricity in population.

The human cornea is an important tissue involved in the mediation of visual perception. It is important to measure its shape especially in the case of correction of refractive errors. Suitable correction such as contact lenses is chosen based on the measured values of the refractive error.

Visual field.

This article is dedicated to main information about visual field, monocular and binocular ranges of visual field including their defects. Visual field loss may occur to disease of the eye, optic nerve or brain. Typical changes are present at glaucoma and macular degeneration.

Comparison of keratometric values and corneal eccentricity.

The aim of this work is to compare the findings of keratometric values and their differences at various refractive errors. The eccentricity of the cornea in the sense compared to the possible influence of refraction of the eye is topographically observed. Groups of myopia, hyperopia and emmetropia (as a control group) are always represented in total 600 eyes.
