Ocular geometry-based formula for predicting the intraocular lens position after cataract surgery using anterior segment optical coherence tomography

To devise a new formula for predicting the intraocular lens (IOL) position after cataract surgery using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) parameters. The IOL position was determined in eyes that had undergone cataract surgery with single-piece acrylic IOLs by...

Metachronous hepatocellular carcinoma in a patient with Fontan physiology and type I congenital absence of the portal vein: repeat hepatectomy in the setting of dual abnormal hepatic hemodynamics: a case report

Fontan-associated liver disease is a recognized long-term consequence of the Fontan circulation and may progress to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Congenital absence of the portal vein (CAPV) is another rare vascular abnormality associated with hepatocellular nodul...

Epithelial integration in tissue-engineered oral mucosa using RGDTFI-presenting micropatterned collagen scaffolds

Objective To determine whether presentation of the integrin αvβ3/αvβ5-binding peptide motif RGDTFI on micropatterned collagen scaffolds improves epithelial coverage and stabilizes the epithelial–scaffold interface during fabrication of tissue-engineered oral mucosa (TEOM). Method...
