COMPARISONS OF FOVEAL THICKNESS AND SLOPE AFTER MACULAR HOLE SURGERY WITH AND WITHOUT INTERNAL LIMITING MEMBRANE PEELING

Comparisons of foveal thickness and slope after macular hole surgery with and without internal limiting membrane peeling

Kouichi Ohta, Atsuko Sato, Nami Senda, Emi Fukui Department of Ophthalmology, Matsumoto Dental University, Nagano, Japan Background: We have shown that the foveal contour was asymmetrical after idiopathic macular hole (MH) closure by pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling.The purpose of this study was to determine

Effect of biomass pre-treatment on supercritical CO2 extraction of lipids from marine diatom Amphora sp. and its biomass evaluation as bioethanol feedstock

Marine diatoms are a potential source for lipids and carbohydrates, which can have several applications ranging from biofuels to nutraceuticals.Due to their siliceous cellular structure and the Ducted Vacuum Hose complex nature of different lipid classes, it is important to understand the effect of biomass pre-treatment on the extractability of mar

Flor yeast: new perspectives beyond wine ageing

The most important dogma in white-wine production is the preservation of the wine aroma and the limitation of the oxidative action of oxygen.In contrast, the ageing of Sherry and Sherry-like wines is an aerobic process that depends on the oxidative activity of flor strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.Under depletion of nitrogen and fermentable carb
