Tooth resorptions are not hereditary
Authors: Consolaro Alberto , Bianco Débora de Almeida
Published: August 2017

ABSTRACT Root resorptions caused by orthodontic movement are not supported by consistent scientific evidence that correlate them with heredity, individual predisposition and genetic or familial susceptibility. Current studies are undermined by methodological and interpretative errors, especially regarding the diagnosis and measurements of root resorption from orthopantomographs and cephalograms. Samples are heterogeneous insofar as they comprise different clinical operators, varied types of planning, and in insufficient number, in view of the prevalence of tooth resorptions in the population. Nearly all biological events are coded and managed through genes, but this does not mean tooth resorptions are inherited, which can be demonstrated in heredograms and other methods of family studies. In orthodontic root resorption, one cannot possibly determine percentages of how much would be due to heredity or genetics, environmental factors and unknown factors. There is no need to lay the blame of tooth resorptions on events taking place outside the orthodontic realm since in the vast majority of cases, resorptions are not iatrogenic. In orthodontic practice, when all teeth are analyzed and planned using periapical radiography or computerized tomography, and when considering all predictive factors, tooth resorptions are not iatrogenic in nature and should be considered as one of the clinical events inherent in the treatment applied.

ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the facial profile esthetics of rehabilitated children with complete bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP), comparing the judgment of professionals related and not related to cleft rehabilitation and laypersons. Methods: Thirty children in the mixed dentition (24 male; 6 female) with a mean age of 7.8 years were evaluated using facial profile photographs by 25 examiners: 5 orthodontists and 5 plastic surgeons with experience in cleft care, 5 orthodontists and 5 plastic surgeons without experience in oral cleft rehabilitation and 5 graduated laymen. Their facial profiles were classified into esthetically unpleasant (grade 1 to 3), esthetically acceptable (grade 4 to 6), and esthetically pleasant (grade 7 to 9). Intraexaminer and interexaminer errors were evaluated using Spearman correlation coefficient and Kendall’s test, respectively. Inter-rater differences were analyzed using Friedman test and Student-Newman-Keuls test for multiple comparisons. Results: Orthodontists dealing with oral clefts rehabilitation considered the majority of the sample as esthetically pleasant. Plastic surgeons of the cleft team and laypersons classified most of the sample as esthetically acceptable. Most of the orthodontists and plastic surgeons not related to cleft care evaluated the facial profile as esthetically unpleasant. The structures associated to unpleasant profiles were the nose, the midface and the upper lip. Conclusions: The facial profile of children with BCLP was classified as esthetically acceptable by laypersons. Professionals related to cleft rehabilitation were more lenient and those not related to cleft care were stricter to facial esthetics than laypersons.

Published: August 2017

ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate and compare the effects of grinding, drilling, sandblasting, and ageing prefabricated teeth (PfT) on the shear bond strength (SBS) of orthodontic brackets, as well as the effects of surface treatments on the adhesive remnant index (ARI). Methods: One-hundred-ninety-two PfT were divided into four groups (n = 48): Group 1, no surface treatment was done; Group 2, grinding was performed with a cylindrical diamond bur; Group 3, two drillings were done with a spherical diamond bur; Group 4, sandblasting was performed with 50-µm aluminum oxide. Before the experiment, half of the samples stayed immersed in distilled water at 37oC for 90 days. Brackets were bonded with Transbond XT and shear strength tests were carried out using a universal testing machine. SBS were compared by surface treatment and by ageing with two-way ANOVA, followed by Tukey’s test. ARI scores were compared between surface treatments with Kruskal-Wallis test followed by Dunn’s test. Results: Surface treatments on PfT enhanced SBS of brackets (p< 0.01), result not observed with ageing (p= 0.45). Groups II, III, and IV showed higher SBS and greater ARI than the Group 1 (p< 0.05). SBS was greater in the groups 3 and 4 (drilling, sandblasting) than in the Group 2 (grinding) (p< 0.05). SBS and ARI showed a positive correlation (Spearman’s R2= 0.57; p< 0.05). Conclusion: Surface treatment on PfT enhanced SBS of brackets, however ageing did not show any relevance. Sandblasting and drilling showed greater SBS than grinding. There was a positive correlation between SBS and ARI.

Published: August 2017

ABSTRACT Introduction: Due to the increasing use of miniplates for anchorage purposes in orthodontics, it is very important to know more about infrazigomatic crest anatomy (thickness), in adult patients. Objectives: Evaluate the infrazygomatic crest region thickness, in adult (male and female) patients. Methods: Cone-beam computerized tomography (CBCT) images from 40 patients were used to assess cross-sectional measurements of the infrazygomatic crest region. Measurement 1 considered thickness 2 mm above the distobuccal root of the permanent maxillary first molar, while measurement 2 was taken 2 mm above the first measurement. Results: The mean thickness of the infrazygomatic crest in males was 3.55 mm for measurement 1 and 2.84 mm for measurement 2, while in females these were 2.37 mm and 2.24 mm, respectively. Conclusion: The authors concluded that the overall mean thickness of the infrazygomatic crest was 2.49 mm with respect to measurement 1, and 2.29 mm for measurement 2, with no statistically significant differences between gender.
Condylectomy and “surgery first” approach: An expedited treatment for condylar hyperplasia in a patient with facial asymmetry
Authors: López Diego Fernando , Aristizábal Juan Fernando , Martínez-Smit Rosana
Published: August 2017

ABSTRACT Condylar Hyperplasia (CH) is a self-limiting pathology condition that produces severe facial deformity at the expense of mandibular asymmetry. In this case report a 15-year-old female patient was diagnosed with Unilateral Condylar Hiperplasia (UCH) by mean of single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and histological study. A high condylectomy in the right condyle was performed to stop the active status of the hyperplasia. A month after condylectomy, orthognathic jaw impaction and asymmetric mandibular setback surgery was performed with the Surgery First Approach (SFA). After 10 days, orthodontic appointments were made every two weeks during 4 months. The active phase of treatment lasted 14 months. Excellent facial and occlusal outcomes were obtained and after 24 months in retention the results remained stable.

Published: August 2017

ABSTRACT Introduction: Treatments with dental surgery seek to displace tooth to the correct position within the dental arch. Objective: To report a clinical case that took advantage of an unerupted third molar. Case history: A male patient, 18 years of age, was referred by his dentist to evaluate the third molars. The clinical exam revealed no visible lower third molars. The computed tomography (CT) exam showed the presence of a supernumerary tooth in the region of the mandibular ramus, on the left side, and impaction of the third molar, which was causing root resorption on the second molar, thus making it impossible to remain in the buccal cavity. The preferred option, therefore, was to remove both second molar and the supernumerary tooth, in addition to attaching a device to the third molar during surgery for further traction. Results: After 12 months, the third molar reached the proper position. Conclusion: When a mandibular second permanent molar shows an atypical root resorption, an impacted third molar can effectively substitute the tooth by using an appropriate orthodontic-surgical approach.

RESUMO Este estudo propõe integrar os relacionamentos interorganizacionais (verticais e horizontais) por meio da percepção da confiança no comportamento colaborativo das empresas. Serão utilizados como campo empírico clusters produtivos da indústria moveleira brasileira, localizados em Arapongas, Mirassol, Ubá e Bento Gonçalves. Os dados foram coletados por meio de questionários in loco e analisados pelas técnicas estatísticas de análise de correlação e teste de causalidade de Granger. A confiança foi analisada na dimensão benevolência e a sua relação com o comprometimento. Os resultados demonstraram que há causalidade no relacionamento horizontal e que não há causalidade nos relacionamentos entre fornecedores e clientes, tampouco nos relacionamentos entre estes e os concorrentes. Contudo, há uma forte correlação entre a confiança nos clientes e os relacionamentos horizontais. Assim, ficou constatado que a presença da confiança nas relações interorganizacionais é independente e isolada, não se caracterizando como uma atitude permanente e rotineira.

Abstract Wild animals play an important role in carrying vectors that may potentially transmit pathogens. Several reports highlighted the participation of wild animals on the Anaplasma phagocytophilum cycle, including as hosts of the agent. The aim of this study was to report the molecular detection of an agent phylogenetically related to A. phagocytophilum isolated from a wild bird in the Midwest of the state of Paraná, Brazil. Fifteen blood samples were collected from eleven different bird species in the Guarapuava region. One sample collected from a Penelope obscura bird was positive in nested PCR targeting the 16S rRNA gene of Anaplasma spp. The phylogenetic tree based on the Maximum Likelihood analysis showed that the sequence obtained was placed in the same clade with A. phagocytophilum isolated from domestic cats in Brazil. The present study reports the first molecular detection of a phylogenetically related A. phagocytophilum bacterium in a bird from Paraná State.

Resumo Este trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar novas perspectivas sobre as revoluções na América Latina e no Norte da África, analisando as circulações de pessoas e ideias de 1954 a 1962. Anterior à Revolução Cubana, a Guerra da Argélia (1954-1962) mobilizou os corações e mentes de políticos e intelectuais latino-americanos. Além de intelectuais argelinos, o movimento revolucionário contou com o apoio de letrados oriundos de outras colônias francesas, bem como da América Latina. Neste artigo enfatizamos a participação de intelectuais brasileiros. O ponto de partida é a atuação da Frente argelina de Libertação Nacional na América Latina através de seu órgão oficial, o jornal El Moudjahid, bem como de jornais brasileiros. Buscamos mostrar como pensadores socialistas das décadas de 1950 e 1960 discutiram a guerra de independência da Argélia.

Investigating the microstructure changes for silty soil during drying
Authors: Sun W.-J. , Cui Y.-J.
Published: August 2017

This note investigates the drying-induced microstructure evolution of reconstituted Jossigny silt through mercury intrusion porosimetry tests. It was observed that when the water content is higher than the shrinkage limit, the pore size distribution (PSD) curve shifts to smaller diameter, but with further drying, the PSD curve starts to shift to larger diameter. This suggests the possible presence of drying-induced internal micro-fissures, which cannot be visualised by the naked eye, and which have developed in the residual shrinkage stage. These fissures are believed to have occurred in the clay fractions and in the interface between silt grain and clay particles.
Numerical analysis of the set-up around the shaft of a closed-ended pile driven in clay
Authors: de Chaunac H. , Holeyman A.
Published: August 2017

When a pile is driven into the ground, soil standing in the path of the pile is heavily distorted as it has to cede for the penetrating pile. At the end of installation, this soil is left in a distressed state, which progressively evolves to an equilibrium with time. As a result, for lightly overconsolidated clays, soil resistance generally decreases during driving but increases after installation; the latter phenomenon is referred to as set-up. Correct assessment of pile set-up is one of the most important considerations of displacement pile design, especially offshore. Indeed, underestimation of set-up leads to unnecessary expense and overestimation of set-up leads to a precarious overestimation of the pile capacity. This paper presents a numerical model, the aim of which is to predict set-up around the shaft of a driven pile in clay. The model was conceived after a careful literature review of the relevant field data, in order to support its assumptions. It is used to predict the stress and pore pressure distributions around the shaft of a driven pile during installation and subsequent equalisation. Numerical results are then compared to the literature results. Although the model underestimates the excess pore pressure created around the pile, it captures a key feature of displacement pile installation in clay: at the end of installation, the radial distribution of excess pore pressure presents a peak located a few radii away from the pile wall. This implies that, during equalisation, the radial effective stress at the pile wall decreases to a short-term minimum, leading to a short-term minimum in pile capacity, before eventually increasing.
teacher’s moral role in mobilizing students’ motivation beyond L2 vision
Authors: Ogawa Harumi
Published: August 2017

This paper concerns an exploratory practice (EP) project in a Japanese junior college EFL classroom. Central to it is an EFL course specifically designed to enhance language learners’ future visions of themselves as L2 users in intercultural encounters (Dörnyei & Kubanyiova, 2014). Findings show that this vision-based EFL course was effective in general, but had a far-reaching impact on one language learner, Aya, extending to “other domains which the learner perceive[d] as connected” (Mercer, 2011, p. 168). By examining empirical data (written narratives, semi-structured interviews, field notes, audio- and video-recordings, and a course evaluation) concerning Aya, this paper discusses the role that the teacher played in mobilising her future vision through this course. The main objective of the discussion is to extend our understanding of the impact and responsibility of the language teacher in the classroom.
The transition from L2 learner to L2 teacher
Authors: Benthien Gaby
Published: August 2017

While newly employed teachers may begin their career with certain ideas and beliefs, these are influenced by different stimuli, encounters and constraints which lead to the ongoing recalibration of their L2 identity. This longitudinal case study explores the L2 journey of a Japanese teacher of English through narrative inquiry using a dynamic approach. Drawing on interview data, the study documents the participant’s transition from L2 learner and pre-service teacher to L2 teacher, focusing on the interconnectedness of the L2 learning and teaching environment and extended socio-educational environment, and the effect of educational, geographical, professional, social, and temporal factors. The study provides a holistic view of the complex interplay between the continuing L2 learner identity and emerging L2 teacher identity, as experienced from the perspective of the novice teacher. The complexity of establishing a professional L2 teacher identity in Japan is highlighted, including discovering one’s own teaching style, finding ways of adapting teaching to national educational directives, meeting the challenges of motivating students, feeling a sense of responsibility for examination preparation, encountering cross-cultural and power issues in team teaching, contemplating future career options, and coming to terms with employment practices. Based on the findings, the study concludes by offering some suggestions for taking not only the challenges faced by the L2 learner, but also the L2 teacher into account, and ways of encouraging meaningful dialogue between researchers, teacher educators and teachers.
The power of assessment
Authors: Pollari Pirjo
Published: August 2017

Assessment wields a great deal of power over students. Yet, there is little research on how students, either in general or as individuals, experience assessment. Therefore, this study aimed to explore what disempowers or empowers students in EFL assessment. A total of 146 students from one Finnish upper secondary school answered a questionnaire on assessment and feedback in their EFL studies. The study utilises mixed methods: primarily, the questionnaire data was analysed quantitatively (principal component analysis, step-wise regression analysis), secondarily, qualitative data and analysis were also used. The analyses showed that students reacted to assessment in highly individual ways. While many students appreciated assessment, a significant minority found assessment disempowering. Assessment caused them considerable anxiety and they did not consider assessment methods good and versatile enough. Furthermore, feedback played a role in assessment disempowerment. Therefore, EFL assessment and feedback methods should be more versatile in order to also cater for those students who currently may feel disempowered by assessment.

Published: August 2017

The syllabus for training psychiatrists in the 21st century has changed radically in recent decades. Although advances in neurosciences using various techniques to address the etiology and physiopathology of mental disorders have provided objective information to locate them in their corresponding place in medical pathology, certain essential elements of medicine have been lost, such as a broad clinical interview and a detailed semiology, both of which are essential to arriving at a correct diagnosis and providing an accurate therapeutic approach. On the subject of loss, there is an increasing disincorporation from study programs in the specialty from disciplines such as philosophy, sociology, and anthropology, which nourishes psychiatry and give it a crucial multidisciplinary quality to understand the person suffering a mental disorder.

Introduction. The use of solvent inhalants has been documented in Mexico since the 1970s. Nevertheless, very little is known about the distribution and use dynamics among “street children”. Few have ventured to study this issue because of the difficulties involved in working with marginalized, relatively inaccessible populations. Objective. To analyze the distribution and consumption dynamics of activo, as it is known among street children in downtown Mexico City, and to document the paraphernalia and argot associated with these practices. Method. This is a qualitative, descriptive, and interpretative study guided by the “Meeting Place” approach used by Hughes (1977), which has been adapted to Mexican population by Ortiz (1979). We also used ethnographic observation techniques and a social and immersion mapping of street spaces that allowed us to contact and relate to both informants and users. Results. We identified activo distributors and storage areas; user groups were made up of men and women in a 7-3 ratio; physical and psycho-social characteristics of sellers and users, and some street argot and paraphernalia that allowed us to understand the dynamics of distribution and consumption. Discussion and conclusion. The activo market is both captive and hidden; it is detrimental to the physical and mental health of street children, and is fostered by social exclusion and the lack of legislation.

O advento da lei nº. 13.146/2015 recente já tem sido objeto de aplausos e críticas da doutrina mais recente do direito civil. Eis que ela emancipou a pessoa com deficiência, tornando-a plenamente capaz para prática de atos da vida civil. Trata-se de uma ruptura do regime das incapacidades, mas que gera alguns paradoxos. Dentre os quais está como proteger a pessoa que está completamente ausente de discernimento, não podendo exprimir sua vontade. Utilizando-se do método dedutivo e das concepções de liberdade, o presente trabalho busca instrumentos que possibilitem esta proteção e que evidenciem uma liberdade efetiva da pessoa com deficiência na sociedade atual.
REFLEXÕES SOBRE DEMOCRACIA LÍQUIDA E SUA FUNDAMENTAÇÃO NO PLANO DAS TEORIAS DEMOCRÁTICAS

Published: August 2017

Discutem-se os fundamentos teóricos da democracia líquida, compreendida como uma possibilidade do cidadão, por livre escolha, decidir ou delegar sua decisão sobre os problemas da comunidade com a utilização, p. ex., de ferramentas digitais, identificando sua correlação com outras vertentes, como a direta e a representativa, situando-a num determinado campo teórico e verificando suas condições de possibilidade no âmbito de um sistema de controle de constitucionalidade. Questiona-se se a concepção de democracia líquida se configura como um novo formato para a democracia ou apenas apresenta novas ferramentas procedimentais, como a internet, para o alcance de objetivos já atingidos por outros formatos como, por exemplo, na democracia direta ou na própria democracia representativa. O objetivo foi analisar os fundamentos teóricos da democracia líquida, identificando sua correlação com outras vertentes da democracia, como a direta, a representativa e a popular, situando-a, se possível, dentro de um determinado campo teórico. Como método de abordagem adotou-se a concepção de modernidade líquida proposta por Bauman, constituindo-se o referencial de análise, e procedimento lastreado no método hipotético-dedutivo, por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental.

No entanto, poucos so os autores que fazem a necessria aproximao entre a perspectiva filosfica e a psicanaltica, conquanto tenha sido esta a primeira a tomar o problema a srio. No presente artigo tenta-se contribuir para este necessrio debate interdisciplinar, a partir da reconstruo racional do pensamento de Habermas e Winnicott, como representantes privilegiados da pragmtica lingstico-filosfica e da psicanlise, respectivamente.

Published: August 2017

O artigo analisa a atuao dos empresrios na luta contra a explorao do trabalho infantil, desencadeada a partir da dcada de 1990, no contexto da globalizao. A mobilizao empresarial para o desenvolvimento de aes de responsabilidade social est associada aos processos de internacionalizao dos novos paradigmas de regulao jurdica sobre os direitos das crianas e das polticas de combate ao trabalho infantil, a exemplo do Brasil, por meio da Constituio Federal de 1988, do Estatuto da Criana e Adolescente de 1990 e outras normas infraconstitucionais posteriores. Nestes tempos de globalizao, a mobilizao do empresariado contra o trabalho infantil vem ao encontro da propalada responsabilidade social empresarial. Construda pela influncia internacional e nacional, a responsabilidade social empresarial visa preservao dos interesses comerciais e da imagem da empresa perante a sociedade, especialmente frente aos consumidores, empregados, investidores, agentes polticos, imprensa e opinio pblica.

How much a theory of law can tell us about the nature of morality: a response to Mark Greenberg’s How facts make law
Authors: Himma Kenneth Eimar
Published: August 2017

Em seu excepcional artigo How Facts Make Law Mark Greenberg argumenta a favor da tese antipositivista de que os fatos descritivos sobre certas prticas sociais no so os nicos determinantes do contedo do direito; fatos de valor com os quais ele est comprometido a interpretar como fatos morais so outros determinantes necessrios do contedo do direito. Neste artigo, eu argumento que, interpretados como desempenhando o trabalho que Greenberg acredita que eles desempenham em refutar o positivismo, a sua concluso de que o contedo do direito no possvel sem fatos de valor possui certas implicaes acerca da natureza da moralidade que quaisquer consideraes puramente metafsicas acerca da relao entre as prticas sociais e o contedo de normas sociais no podem plausivelmente possuir. Particularmente, a concluso de Greenberg juntamente com a bvia (pois extremamente fraca) verdade de que o direito possvel, parece implicar o objetivismo moral uma concepo altamente contestada entre a teorizao tica em geral. Eu considero isso como sendo uma reductio da sua ideia, pois parece claro que qualquer teoria que confia em asseres metafsicas gerais acerca de prticas sociais no pode suportar tal peso.
Sustentabilidade empresarial: a questão socioambiental sob a ótica da análise econômica do direito
Authors: Martins André Luis Machado , Razuk Nahima
Published: August 2017

O atual contexto econmico apresenta um dos grandes paradoxos contemporneos. Diante da expectativa e necessidade de um crescimento econmico, aliado aos necessrios investimentos alocados junto aos setores produtivos, a sociedade depara-se com um sistema jurdico de proteo socioambiental. O desafio dos agentes econmicos, pblico ou privados, est na promoo de suas atividades empresariais e estabelecimento de um mercado preferencialmente concorrencial, o qual, simultaneamente dever enfrentar as novas demandas socioambientais. O presente artigo pretende compreender este conflito, verificar seus efeitos e a possibilidade de enfrent-lo atravs da chamada Anlise Econmica do Direito. Trata-se de mtodo que encontra razes na cincia econmica como uma resposta abstrao e subjetividade verificada nas correntes tericas jusnaturalistas e juspositivistas, as quais nem sempre consideraram o elemento da eficcia quando da compreenso do universo jurdico. Este enfrentamento demonstrar que o vis puro econmico dever perceber e recepcionar a chamada demanda socioambiental moderna, tradicionalmente registrada no cenrio empresarial como tradeoff; uma externalidade ocasionadora de aumento dos custos de transao, capaz de afastar parte dos agentes econmicos, os quais tendem a maximizar seus lucros.
A natureza do direito
Authors: Marmor Andrei
Published: August 2017

Os juristas estão geralmente interessados na pergunta: o que é o direito em um caso particular? Essa é sempre uma pergunta local e as respostas tendem a diferir de acordo com a jurisdição específica na qual é formulada. Em contraste, a filosofia do direito é interessada na pergunta geral: o que é o direito? Essa pergunta geral sobre a natureza do direito pressupõe que o direito é um fenômeno sócio-político único, com mais ou menos características universais discerníveis por meio da análise filosófica.

A Jurisprudência Geral, como é chamada essa investigação filosófica sobre a natureza do direito, pretende ser universal. Ela assume que o direito tem certas características por sua própria natureza, ou essência, enquanto direito, sempre que e em qualquer lugar que ele existe. Entretanto, mesmo se tais características universais do direito existirem, as razões para um interesse filosófico em elucidá-las continuam precisando de explicação. Primeiro, há o puro interesse intelectual em entender esse fenômeno social complexo, que é, antes de tudo, um dos mais intricados aspectos da cultura humana.

O direto, entretanto, também é uma prática social normativa: pretende guiar o comportamento humano, dando origem a razões para agir. Uma tentativa de explicar esse aspecto normativo fornecedor de razões do direito é um dos desafios centrais da jurisprudência geral. Essas duas fontes de interesse na natureza do direito estão estreitamente ligadas. O direito não é o único domínio normativo em nossa cultura. A moralidade, a religião, as convenções sociais, a etiqueta, e assim por diante, também guiam a conduta humana de muitas formas que são similares ao direito. Logo, parte do que é envolvido no entendimento da natureza do direito consiste em uma explicação de como o direito se difere desses domínios normativos similares, de como eles interagem com o direito, e se a sua inteligibilidade depende dessas outras ordens normativas, como a moralidade ou as convenções sociais.

Authors: Abegg Friedrich , Linke Peter
Published: August 2017

The remotely operated vehicle ROV KIEL 6000 is a deep diving platform rated for water depths of 6000 meters. It is linked to a surface vessel via an umbilical cable transmitting power (copper wires) and data (3 single-mode glass fibers). As standard it comes equipped with still and video cameras and two different manipulators providing eyes and hands in the deep. Besides this a set of other tools may be added depending on the mission tasks, ranging from simple manipulative tools such as chisels and shovels to electrically connected instruments which can send in-situ data to the ship through the ROVs network, allowing immediate decisions upon manipulation or sampling strategies.

Glaucoma surgery has long relied on ab externo techniques such as augmented trabeculectomy and tube-shunt procedures. While these have excellent potential to lower intraocular pressure (IOP), they are associated with risks, including hypotony, and are therefore conventionally reserved for those with advanced glaucoma or at high risk of visual loss. Traditional filtering surgery attempts to bypass the eye’s physiological outflow pathway, however new minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) procedures have recently been introduced that focus on the angle structures as a target for improving aqueous outflow. There are a growing number of ab interno MIGS procedures that utilise the natural drainage pathways of the eye in the management of glaucoma. This article examines the progress so far and describes how the angle has become a viable target for glaucoma surgery.
Intravitreal Pharmacotherapy in the Treatment of Retinitis Pigmentosa-related Cystoid Macular Oedema

Peripheral visual field constriction and night blindness are the main features of retinitis pigmentosa (RP). However, central vision is often impaired dramatically even in the early stages of the disease when macular complications such as cystoid macular oedema (CME) occur. The pathogenesis of RP-related CME is still not well explained. Therefore, several treatment alternatives such as topical, oral and systemic pharmacotherapy; laser photocoagulation and even vitreoretinal surgery are employed by the clinicians. In this review, we summarise the clinical data on intravitreal pharmacotherapeutic agents and focus mainly on the steroids and anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agents.
Past and Present Terminology for the Retinal and Choroidal Structures in Optical Coherence Tomography
Authors: Turgut Burak ,   Fırat University, School of Medicine, Department of Ophthalmology, Elazig, Turkey
Published: August 2017

Spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) is a non-invasive imaging method which is used in the diagnosis and followup of various macular diseases. SD-OCT provides detailed imaging of the retina. However, it has also been used to evaluate the choroidal layers. There are many publications on the OCT terminology, the definition and classification of retinal and choroidal structures including lines, bands and zones described in OCT. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the literature on the past and present terminology for the retinal and choroidal structures seen in SD-OCT. To know OCT terminology will provide to be understanding better the pathogenesis of these diseases and the effects of therapeutic applications for these.
