Postenucleation adjuvant chemotherapy with vincristine, etoposide, and carboplatin for the treatment of high-risk retinoblastoma. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Analysis of 52 eyes with high-risk retinoblastoma managed with postenucleation adjuvant chemotherapy using vincristine sulfate, etoposide phosphate, and carboplatin showed no evidence of systemic metastasis in any case during a mean (range ...

Buckled Graphene for Efficient Energy Harvest, Storage, and Conversion [PDF]
Buckling is one of the most common phenomena in atomic-thick layered structures like graphene. While the buckling phenomenon usually causes disaster for most nano-devices, we illustrate one positive application of the buckled graphene for energy harvest, storage, and conversion. More specifically, we perform molecular dynamical simulations to show that

Buckling of graphene/MoS$_2$ van der Waals heterostructures: the misfit strain effect [PDF]
Van der Waals heterostructures are constructed by stacking different atomic layers and can inherit many novel electronic and optical properties from the constituting atomic layers. Mechanical stability is of key importance for the high performance of nano devices based on the van der Waals heterostructure.

Frequency of retinal findings after 8 years in the Bifocal Lenses in Nearsighted Kids (BLINK) Study
Abstract Purpose The purpose of the study is to report the frequency of retinal findings in myopic children and determine the association with the amount of myopia or axial length. Design The BLINK study was a myopia control, multi‐centre randomised clinical trial following myopic children with multifocal soft contact lenses. Participants Children aged

Corneal Biomechanical Response Alteration After Scleral Buckling Surgery for Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment [PDF]
Purpose: To compare the corneal biomechanics of eyes that underwent scleral buckle (SB) for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) with those of fellow eyes (fellow eyes) and to further investigate the effects of SB on intraocular pressure (IOP) values.

Absorbable suture for band tightening of scleral buckling in pseudophakic rhegmatogenous retinal detachment: a modified surgical technique and a 6-month follow-up [PDF]
Background: Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) is a separation of the neurosensory retina from the retinal pigment epithelium as a result of liquid vitreous passing through a retinal break.

Buckling of thermally fluctuating spherical shells: Parameter renormalization and thermally activated barrier crossing [PDF]
We study the influence of thermal fluctuations on the buckling behavior of thin elastic capsules with spherical rest shape. Thermal fluctuations affect the buckling instability by two mechanisms. On the one hand, thermal fluctuations can renormalize the capsule's elastic properties and its pressure because of anharmonic couplings between normal ...

Stress Analysis for Scleral Buckling of the Eye [PDF]
Scleral buckling is a process in which a buckle or band is wrapped around the eye and tightened and is used to treat different eye disorders. The procedure can result in induced myopia by increasing the axial length of the human eye.

To our knowledge, there are no reports of Aeromonas hydrophila infection after a scleral buckling procedure. Also, migration of a silicone explant element through the rectus muscles is extremely rare.

A Fast Uniaxial Compression of the Single-Layer MoS2 [PDF]
The Euler buckling theorem states that the buckling critical strain is an inverse square function of the length for a thin plate in the static compression process. However, the suitability of this theorem in the dynamical process is unclear, so we perform molecular dynamics simulations to examine the applicability of the Euler buckling theorem in case ...
