MICROSTRUCTURAL EFFECTS OF INTRAVITREAL BEVACIZUMAB IN IDIOPATHIC CHOROIDAL NEOVASCULARISATION.

Background: Idiopathic choroidal neovascularization (ICNV) is a unilateral ocular disease which occurs in patients younger than 50 years and accounts for approximately 17% of patients with CNV. We evaluated microstructural effects of intravitreal bevacizumab in eyes with treatment-naïve idiopathic choroidal neovascularisation.

Methods: In this case series study we reviewed the treatment and follow up records of 40 symptomatic eyes having ICNV, who received an intravitreal injection of bevacizumab (1.

Study on an integrated process combining ozonation with ceramic ultra-filtration for decentralized supply of drinking water.

An integrated process was specifically developed for the decentralized supply of drinking water from micro-polluted surface water in the rural areas of China. The treatment process combined ozonation with ceramic ultra-filtration (UF), coagulation for pre-treatment and granular activated carbon filtration. A flat-sheet ceramic membrane was used with a cut-off of 60 nm and the measurement of 254 mm (length) × 240 mm (width) × 6 mm (thickness).

Obstetric complications in women with polycystic ovary syndrome: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder in women of childbearing age. The risk of pregnancy and neonatal complications in women with PCOS is debatable. In order to determine the risk of pregnancy and neonatal complications, evidence regarding these risks was examined.
