To determine the effect of intraoperative ophthalmic viscosurgical devices (OVDs) on late opacification of the Hydroview hydrogel intraocular lens (IOL) (Bausch & Lomb Surgical). Hamilton Health Sciences,... more
In this paper we propose a new algorithm for the detection of clustered microcalcifications using mathematical morphology and artificial neural networks. Mathematical morphology provides tools for the extraction of microcalcifications... more
Genetic abnormalities in cell proliferation-regulating genes have been described in premalignant lesions. The aims here were to evaluate c-myc protein expression in non-palpable breast lesions associated with microcalcifications, detected... more
We report on five sibs affected by congenital microcephaly, growth retardation, sloping forehead, bitemporal grooving and micrognathia. Generalized tonic-clonic seizures started very early in life. Postnatal brain computerized tomography... more
The Diamondback 360® Orbital PAD System (DB360) is a novel orbital atherectomy system for the treatment of calcified lower extremity lesions associated with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). This percutaneous, endovascular system... more
