Inner dusty regions of protoplanetary discs -- II. Dust dynamics driven by radiation pressure and disc winds [PDF]
We explore dust flow in the hottest parts of protoplanetary discs using the forces of gravity, gas drag and radiation pressure. Our main focus is on the optically thin regions of dusty disc, where the dust is exposed to the most extreme heating conditions and dynamical perturbations: the surface of optically thick disc and the inner dust sublimation ...

Retina image–based optic disc segmentation
The change of optic disc can be used to diagnose many eye diseases, such as glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration. Moreover, retinal blood vessel pattern is unique for human beings even for identical twins. It is a highly stable pattern

Rapid grain growth in post-AGB disc systems from far-infrared and sub-millimetre photometry [PDF]
The timescales on which astronomical dust grows remain poorly understood, with important consequences for our understanding of processes like circumstellar disk evolution and planet formation.A number of post-asymptotic giant branch stars are found to host optically thick, dust- and gas-rich circumstellar discs in Keplerian orbits.

Double Trouble: A Rare Case of Combined Optic Disc Pit Maculopathy and Choroidal Coloboma
Optic disc pit (ODP) is a rare congenital abnormality of the optic nerve head, which appears as a unilateral, small, oval, hypo-pigmented gray–white excavation of the optic disc, most commonly located at the temporal or infero-temporal segment of the ...

Detection of Glaucoma by Segmenting Retinal Images and evaluating the DDLS stage [PDF]
Automatic analysis of retina image is important screening tool for early detection of eye diseases. This paper proposes an image processing technique for the detection of stage of glaucoma. The methodology is used to segment optic disc and cup.

Presumed optic disc melanocytoma in a young Nigerian: a diagnostic challenge [PDF]
Optic disc melanocytoma (ODM) is a rare, benign, deeply pigmented ocular tumor arising from melanocytes within the optic disc or from any part of the uvea. It occurs more in dark skinned individuals and females.

Effects of pregnancy on neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder and predictors of related attacks
Abstract Objective Our study aimed to investigate the influence of pregnancy on the course of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) and to explore the independent predictors of pregnancy‐related attacks. Methods We performed a retrospective study of patients with NMOSD based on the Wingerchuk 2006 or the revised Wingerchuk 2015 criteria ...
