A clinical comparison of the Xpert non-contact tonometer with the Goldmann applanation tonometer after penetrating keratoplasty.

PURPOSE: To assess the agreement between the Xpert non-contact tonometer (NCT) and the Goldmann applanation tonometer in patients who have undergone penetrating keratoplasty. METHODS: The study material consisted of 42 consecutive patients (43 eyes) who had undergone penetrating keratoplasty within the previous 13 months. RESULTS: The slope of the linear relationship between the two measurement methods did not differ significantly from 1.0. The mean difference between the methods of 0.96 mmHg was not statistically significant. The range of intraindividual differences between the methods was from -9.8 to 22.8 mmHg. The standard deviation of differences was 6.62 mmHg. The 95% limits of agreement were -12.00 to 13.94 mmHg. There was no significant correlation between the central corneal thickness, astigmatism or transplant size and the difference between the methods CONCLUSION: The Xpert NCT shows considerable variation from the Goldmann values The degree of agreement with the true IOP value remains to be shown.

The design and applications of a recursive molecular modeling framework.

In this paper, we present a recursive molecular model suitable for multiresolution analysis in a variety of application areas. Our approach allows ease of use by computer scientists and biologists by proposing a software interface for molecular analysis that hides programming details. We demonstrate that our design is flexible enough for use in desktop analytical applications, in large-scale parallel simulations, and as a server for remote molecular analysis across wide-area networks.

Pneumatic retinopexy. A long term follow-up study.

PURPOSE: We have analysed the results of 48 consecutive cases of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment treated with pneumatic retinopexy in a long term follow-up study. RESULTS: Thirty six of the original 48 patients were available to follow-up. We had an average follow-up period of 8.1 years and a 75% 7 year follow-up. Single operation success was achieved in 83% of patients. Redetachment occurred in 3 patients at 11, 30 and 33 months. Complications found included new breaks in 14%,, cystoid macular oedema in 8%,, and proliferative vitreoretinopathy in 3% of patients. No previously unreported complications were found in spite of the long follow-up time. Final anatomic success (after 1 or more operations) at 6 months post operatively was found in 97% of patients. At follow-up we found final anatomic success in all patients. CONCLUSION: The use of pneumatic retinopexy instead of scleral buckling is discussed. We recommend the consideration of pneumatic retinopexy in uncomplicated selected cases of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.
