The relationship between age, axial length and retinal nerve fiber layer thickness in the normal elderly population in Taiwan: The Chiayi eye study in Taiwan.

Aims: To interpret how the thickness of the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) changes with increasing age, axial length, or anterior chamber depth as measured by spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) in the normal elderly population in Taiwan.

Methods: A total of 82 volunteers (143 eyes) were enrolled. Generalized estimating equations were used to evaluate the correlation.

Small-Field Measurements of 3D Polymer Gel Dosimeters through Optical Computed Tomography.

With advances in therapeutic instruments and techniques, three-dimensional dose delivery has been widely used in radiotherapy. The verification of dose distribution in a small field becomes critical because of the obvious dose gradient within the field. The study investigates the dose distributions of various field sizes by using NIPAM polymer gel dosimeter.

Stevens-Johnson syndrome following cataract surgery.

A case of Stevens-Johnson syndrome in a healthy 58-year-old woman who underwent cataract surgery under topical anesthesia is reported. General skin erosions developed 2 hours after surgery. The patient's family doctor diagnosed that she was allergic to seafood.
