PERFLUOROCARBON LIQUID ASSISTED DRAINAGE AND TAMPONADE ASSOCIATED RETINAL DISPLACEMENT: A UNIFYING THEORY ON THE ETIOLOGY OF RETINAL FOLDS, SLIPPAGE AND RETINAL DISPLACEMENT

Perfluorocarbon liquid assisted drainage and tamponade associated retinal displacement: A unifying theory on the etiology of retinal folds, slippage and retinal displacement

Purpose: To determine the integrity of re-attachment in a macula-off detachment repaired with pars plana vitrectomy Trousers using perfluorocarbon liquid (PFO) assisted drainage and short-term tamponade with no air-fluid exchange and to discuss a unifying theory on the etiology of retinal malappositions including retinal displacement (stretch), ret

The effects of rainfall and arthropod abundance on breeding season of insectivorous birds, in a semi-arid neotropical environment

Rainfall in tropical semi-arid areas may act as a reliable cue for timing bird reproduction, since it precedes future food supply.With this in mind, we set-up a study to test the reproductive response of insectivorous bird to arthropod abundance and rainfall patterns.Sampling occurred in a seasonally dry Neotropical forest, in north-eastern Brazil,
