Published: January 2021

Mycobacterium tuberculosis is transmitted through aerosolization, hence commonly infects the lungs. The occurrence of extrapulmonary tuberculosis is rare. We report a case of eyelid tuberculosis in a 45-year-old gentleman with a history of treated testicular tuberculosis three years ago. He had insidious onset of painless swelling in the right upper eyelid associated with erythema for one month. He did not have other constitutional symptoms. Initially, he was treated as chalazion and given topical antibiotics. However, the swelling worsened despite medication. His best corrected visual acuity was 6/9 in both eyes. Examination showed an elevated ulcerative growth with broad base which bled easily upon touch. The clinical presentation varies from an eyelid infection as an eyelid tumour can be a diagnostic challenge. A slow response to oral and topical antibiotic warrants an excision biopsy. The results showed chronic granulomatous infection in acid-fast bacilli. An antituberculosis (anti-TB) therapy was started and the patient showed a positive clinical response.
Althrough rare, tuberculosis of eyelid should be considered as differential diagnosis of chalazion. Any suspicious case should be confirmed by biopsy followed by anti-TB if indicated.
Complication of foldable single-piece intraocular lens sulcus implantation in a child under two years old
Authors: Barliana Julie Dewi 
Published: January 2021

A two-and-a-half-year-old boy presented to Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta, Indonesia with a white spot on his left eye. He had cataract surgery one year prior at another hospital. On examination, corectopia, anterior synechiae, white plaque between the iris and corneal endothelium, a shallow anterior chamber, and an intraocular lens (IOL) in the posterior chamber were found. As a result, anterior chamber reformation and IOL explantation was performed.
Intraoperatively, a foldable single-piece IOL was found in the ciliary sulcus. Hence, extreme inflammatory process after the operation was unavoidable. One month after the procedure, the cornea was opaque without an increase in intraocular pressure. It is recommended to perform IOL implantation only in children over two years of age with a corneal diameter more than 9 mm. A three-piece IOL might be implanted in the area of the ciliary sulcus only if the child needs an immediate IOL implant.

Published: January 2021

Introduction: Spontaneous retinal venous pulsation (SRVP) is a rhythmic variation in the calibre of one or more retinal veins. The incidence of SRVP was reduced in glaucoma patients. It was also reduced in people with raised intracranial pressure compared to a healthy population.
Purpose: The main objective was to report the frequency and rate of SRVP in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) patients and to associate these with the severity of glaucoma in Malay patients.
Design of study: A comparative cross-sectional study.
Materials and methods: A comparative cross-sectional study involving primary glaucoma patients attending the eye clinic at Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (HUSM), Kelantan, Malaysia, was performed between December 2015 and June 2017. The main outcomes measured were the presence and rate of SRVP using a confocalscanning laser ophthalmoscope (Spectralis High-Resolution Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography, Heidelberg Engineering GmbH, Heidelberg, Germany). In the presence of SRVP, the rate of SRVP in one minute was counted manually based on the real-time fundus movie recorded using the confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope.
Results: Thirty-eight POAG, 14 PACG, and 51 control group subjects were included. There was a significantly lower incidence of SRVP in primary glaucoma patients than in the control group (p = 0.003). The presence of SRVP was significantly lower in POAG than PACG (p = 0.04). There was no significant difference in the rate ofSRVP between primary glaucoma patients and the control group (p = 0.873) or between the POAG group and PACG group (p = 0.511). There was no association of incidence (p = 0.574) and rate (p = 0.167) of SRVP according to the severity of glaucoma. Systolic blood pressure (95% CI: 0.95–1.00, p = 0.038) and retinal nervefibre layer thickness (95% CI: 1.01–1.09, p = 0.008) showed a significant association with the presence of SRVP.
Conclusions: SRVP is a potential predictive factor for detection of primary glaucoma. The role of SRVP in the severity of glaucoma is still unclear. The role of SRVP in PACG patients warrants further studies in the future.

Authors: Teh Swee Sew , Ong Poh Yan 
Published: January 2021

Purpose: To study the intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering effects of selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) at six months and to determine factors that can predict the success of SLT.
Study design: Prospective cohort study with convenience sampling.
Material and methods: The patients were seen at the Glaucoma Clinic, Selayang Hospital from October 2017 to September 2018. Patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), normal-tension glaucoma (NTG), and ocular hypertension (OHT) of mild to moderate severity that needed further IOP reduction were recruited. Baseline characteristics were documented followed by water drinking test (WDT) and SLT. Follow-up was scheduled at one week, six weeks, three months, and six months. WDT was repeated at six months.
Results: Eighteen eyes of 18 patients were recruited. IOP at baseline, 1 week, 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months was 19.3 ± 3.7,16.7 ± 3.8,16.5 ± 2.7,16.6 ± 3.2 and 15.3 ± 3.8 mmHg, respectively (P < 0.05). The reduction of baseline IOP, peak IOP, and IOP fluctuation were 20.7%, 26.7%, and 31.4%, respectively (P < 0.05). The cumulative success at six months was 44%. The significant success predictors were mean deviation on Humphrey visual field and IOP one week post-SLT.
Conclusions: SLT can be used to treat mild to moderate POAG, NTG, and OHT patients, either as first-line treatment or as an adjunct to medical therapy.

Published: January 2021

Neonatal retinoblastoma is more widely reported in developed countries than in developing countries. We have conducted a retrospective case series to understand the nature of neonatal retinoblastoma in Malaysia due to lack of data from developing countries.
A retrospective record review of 295 patients was conducted from the Retinoblastoma Registry on the National Eye Database (NED) between January 2005 and December 2019. Six out of 295 patients (2.03%) were identified as neonatal retinoblastoma in Malaysia from 2005 until 2019 compared to developed countries, in which the detection rate were 3.5 to 10 times higher.
Lack of awareness among survivor parents about the risk of their newborns developing retinoblastoma in may be a contributing factor. Neonatal retinoblastoma is difficult to manage, thus close and continuous monitoring is needed in centres dedicated to retinoblastoma management.
Repeatability and comparability of simulated K values between a grid projection-based device and a Placido/dual Scheimpflug device
Authors: Tagal Julian Matius 
Published: January 2021

Purpose: To evaluate the repeatability and comparability of simulated K values obtained by the Galilei G4 Corneal Tomographer and the iDesign Wavefront Abberometer.
Methods: The right eyes of 100 consecutive pre-laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) patients were included in this study. Patients with a history or signs of previous corneal or ocular trauma and infection were excluded. Paired corneal measurements for flat (K1) and steep (K2) meridians were obtained with both the Galilei and the iDesign. Repeatability was evaluated by calculating the coefficient of variation (CV) of the paired measurements. The comparability between platforms was evaluated by calculation of the mean differences followed by the construction of Bland-Altman plots and calculation of limits of agreement (LOA).
Results: While the mean CV for both devices was low (0.17% versus 0.57% for the Galilei and iDesign, respectively), a large proportion of eyes measured by the iDesign (22%) showed an absolute difference of > 0.5 D between paired readings, compared to 1% as measured by the Galilei. The Galilei consistently measured higher than the iDesign. Although the mean difference did not exceed 0.17 D, the LOAs were unacceptablywide at -0.52 D to 0.85 D and -0.69 D to 0.89 D for K1 and K2, respectively.
Conclusion: As regards keratometry, the iDesign demonstrated clinically unacceptable repeatability. Both platforms demonstrated sufficiently wide LOA that we could not recommend that they are used interchangeably.

Forests are biological natural resources that have provided development benefits in Indonesia during their specific “Orde Baru” government of the timber forest product sector, but the impact of high exploitation has had considerable damage. Therefore it is necessary to find alternative efforts in forest utilization. One such effort is to utilize plants that can be used as medicinal plants. Medicinal plants are an alternative use of forest products from the non-timber sector. One of the places that need to know the existence of medicinal plants is Taman Wisata Alam Gunung Tampomas. Lack of data from the types of medicinal plants in this area feared damaged and extinction.The results of this research found 21 species of medicinal plants consisting of 19 types of non-tree vegetation and 2 types of tree vegetation. Non-tree vegetation is dominated by the type of Eupatorium riparium with Relative Frequency of 8.60%. While the tree vegetation was dominated by Melia azedarach species with INP value in each strata of seedlings, piles, poles, and trees respectively 9.02%, 11.97%, 18.14% and 20.43%. Most of the medicinal plants have the benefit of fever, abdominal pain, urine, malaria, bleeding such as Imperata cyindrica, Melia azedarach, Ageratum conyzoides, Quassia amara, Angioptris evecta and Eupatorium ripariumBenefit from this research about existence of medicinal plants in the area of Blok Paseban and Blok Pasir Sabeulah TWA Gunung Tampomas, the community can make this area as a source of germplasm so that the existence of medicinal plants can be preserved sustainability. In addition, people around the area can cultivate medicinal plants outside the area of TWA Gunung Tampomas

Wooden carpets are one of the products made of woody materials glued on the textiles. The wooden part can be in the form of plywood or solid wood, while the textiles as a carpet backing serves as a link between the pieces of woody material that make up the carpet. Compared to fabric carpets, wood carpets have several advantages in terms of health and maintenance. Wood carpet generally include woody material, fabrics, glue and finishing materials. The glue serves as an adhesive between woody material and fabric. The shear strength of glue adhesives has an important role in wood carpet products. In the local market there are several types of glue such as white glue (Polyvinyl Acetate) and yellow glue (Synthetic Rubber). The purpose of this study was to compare the shear strength of white and yellow glue. It is expected that people can choose the type of glue that is more suitable for wood carpets. The research data was tabulated and analysed by paired t-test. The results showed that the shear strength of white and yellow glue using manual clamps were 27.95 kg cm-2 and 13.78 kg cm-2 respectively. The shear strength of white glue strongly differ with those of yellow glue, and greather two times than the yellow one. In making or producing wooden carpets, it is recommanded to use white glue instead of yellow one and can apply manual clamps. However, for better results, it is recommended to apply a press machine.
EVALUACIÓN MORFO-FISIOLÓGICA DE BROTES DE MAÍZ SOMETIDOS A SELECCIÓN in vitro BAJO ESTRÉS OSMÓTICO
Authors: Castro-Montes Ivonné , López-Peralta Ma. Cristina , González-Hernández Víctor A. 
Published: January 2021

Se examinaron las respuestas morfo-fisiológicas de brote órganogé-nico de maíz (Zea mays L.) sometidas a estrés osmótico, simulado con la adición de 10, 15 y 20 g L-1 de polietilenglicol (PEG-8000) al medio de cultivo in vitro, durante tres ciclos de selección recurrente. Las semillas de las líneas endogámicas L-13, L-14, L-16 y L-46 se germinaron in vitro, y a los 12 d se cortaron 1 a 5 secciones del coleóptilo que se usaron como explantes y se cultivaron en medio de Murashige y Skoog con 0.6 % (p/v) de agar, para inducir organogénesis. Despues, en la etapa de multiplicación los brotes se sometieron a estrés osmótico en medio líquido con PEG (0, 10, 15 y 20 %) durante tres ciclos de selección de 15 d cada uno. En el primer experimento se cuantificaron características morfo-fisiológicas de los brotes de los ciclos de selección 1 y 3, y se observó efecto significativo de la interacción genotipo x PEG sobre la altura y número de hojas por brote, de genotipo x ciclo sobre número de hojas y biomasa fresca, y de PEG x ciclo sobre el peso fresco. En el segundo experimento se midieron características de los brotes del tercer ciclo de selección, y se encontró efecto significativo del genotipo sobre el peso fresco y seco por brote, así como efecto de PEG sobre el peso fresco y el contenido de agua. La interacción genotipo x PEG fue significativa sobre el potencial hídrico, potencial osmótico y ajuste osmótico total. Las mejores líneas fueron L-14 y L-16 porque tuvieron mayor ajuste osmótico y mejores características morfo-fisiológicas, lo cual muestra que la selección in vitro es viable para elegir genotipos tolerantes.

Columbus: aportes de la teledetección y análisis de coste anisotrópico a un debate histórico
Authors: Felicísimo Ángel M. 
Published: January 2021

La ruta seguida por la primera expedición de Cristóbal Colón es incierta debido a la ausencia o poca fiabilidad de esta información en el diario del almirante. Los actuales datos procedentes de teledetección y su análisis mediante SIG pueden aportar nueva información mediante análisis de los campos de viento estacionales en la zona. Los resultados del análisis de seis años muestran que el régimen de vientos es homogéneo y que configura dos corredores o pasillos de bajo coste relativo para la navegación a vela con las condiciones de los barcos del siglo XV. De estos dos corredores uno conduce con exactitud al destino al que se cree que llegó Colón el 12 de octubre de 1492 y se presenta como la ruta más probable, algo más al Sur que la propuesta hasta el presente en la bibliografía. Los SIG se muestran como una herramienta capaz de aportar información inédita a partir de datos globales, tomados en este caso por el escaterómetro QuikSCAT, aplicando métodos de análisis espacial poco usados en la literatura científica.
Proceso evaluativo del material cartográfico temático táctil para alumnos con discapacidad visual y auditiva
Authors: Barrientos Guzmán Teresa , Pérez de Prada Enrique 
Published: January 2021

Los usuarios discapacitados visuales y auditivos representan un universo especial en todo el mundo, que necesitan tener acceso a la información, en este caso especí- fico a información que está relacionada con la problemática ambiental y su manifes- tación en diversos procesos territoriales como es el deshielo de los glaciares entre otros.
El poder representar las relaciones espaciales entre el ser humano y su entorno natural es un desafío primordial con el cual se puede lograr la formación de la ima- gen mental con la percepción de los lugares del medio real y sus problemáticas. El mapa ayuda a esto ya que es una abstracción de lo que sucede en la realidad en el área ambiental, sus fenómenos y sus distribuciones.
Todo producto cartográfico táctil involucra la adaptación del mapa visual a uno que comunique la información por medio del tacto, etapa que involucra una serie de pasos que son los considerandos básicos al hacer una cartografía táctil, donde las características del usuario final son un factor de gran importancia.
En este proceso, la evaluación de los productos cartográficos es un aspecto fun- damental, ya que nos permite comprobar si la adaptación realizada logró su objetivo de comunicar la información a las personas ciegas o sordas, no sólo si se diferen- cian las texturas, formas, colores entre otros aspectos, además se busca determinar si el usuario comprendió la parte conceptual de cada una de las representaciones.

En épocas recientes, las agencias federales encargadas de administrar información geográfica básica, han recibido por parte de la comunidad científica una clara reco- mendación de cambio sobre la forma de determinar el control de coordenadas verti- cales, migrando de la referencia local de nivel medio del mar hacia una referencia definida en términos de potencial del campo de gravedad como es el geoide. La principal ventaja de este cambio radica en la habilidad de hacer compatible el dátum vertical entre países de cualquier parte del mundo y compatible con la tecnología de levantamientos GNSS. En preparación para sustituir eventualmente al sistema clási- co, basado en observaciones al nivel del mar local, una gran cantidad de agencias enfrentan el reto de implementar el concepto mencionado, con datos y metodología nuevos. En este trabajo presentamos los primeros resultados de un esfuerzo de co- laboración internacional surgido desde ocho países en la región de México, Cen- troamérica y el Caribe para incrementar la capacidad técnica en esta materia y disminuir la brecha existente entre el avance científico y la implementación práctica de infraestructura de datos geodésicos para uso oficial.
El geoide gravimétrico para México, Centroamérica y el Caribe GGM-CA-2015 se presenta como un modelo digital inédito en cobertura y resolución. Representa una superficie equipotencial del campo de gravedad, parametrizado por la constante
W0=62636856.0m2/s2. Esta realización permite referir las coordenadas verticales para geolocalización de una gran cantidad de países e islas sobre un dátum consis- tente a través de fronteras y mares.

Switchable wavefront control using an all-dielectric metasurface mediated by VO2
Authors: Takase Hiroaki , Takahara Junichi 
Published: January 2021

Abstract
Active metasurfaces using metal–insulator transition materials such as vanadium dioxide (VO2) have been demonstrated recently. As most of them are based on plasmonic metasurfaces, it is difficult to realize transmissive devices at optical frequencies. In this study, we theoretically propose and demonstrate the transmission type of an active all-dielectric metasurface mediated by VO2. We numerically study the optical properties of a cylindrical Mie resonator consisting of crystalline silicon and VO2 layers, and we find that it achieves a 2π phase shift of approximately 1550 nm by tuning the radius. The proposed structure can be applied to non-mechanical beam steering, polarizers, metalenses, etc.
