Growth rate variations for two paraboloidal domes: A and B, identical when seen from the outside but differing in the internal pattern of principal growth directions, were modeled by means of the growth tensor and a natural coordinate system.In dome A periclinal trajectories in the axial plane were given by confocal parabolas (as in a tunical dome)
Background: Many eyes with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) require vitreous surgery despite complete regression of new vessels with pan retinal laser photocoagulation (PRP).Changes in the vitreous caused by diabetes mellitus and diabetic retinopathy may continue to progress independent of laser regressed status of retinopathy.Diabetic vitr
Vaccinia virus (VACV) was used as a surrogate of variola virus (VARV) (genus Orthopoxvirus), the causative agent of smallpox, to study Orthopoxvirus infection.VARV is principally transmitted between humans by aerosol droplets.Once inhaled, VARV first infects the respiratory tract where it could encounter surfactant components, such as soluble patte
Interstitial lung diseases (ILD) are a spectrum of disorders often complicated by pulmonary hypertension (PH) in its course.The pathophysiologic mechanism Accessories of WHO group 3 PH is different to other forms of PH.The advent of PH is a harbinger for adverse events like mortality and morbidity, implying that the PH component of disease expedite
