Abstract
We have used and special mention was directed to the sitting position. Around 1/3 of our surgeries were done in the sitting position. Its indication includes lesions not only in the posterior fossa, but in the parieto-occipital region and in the cervico-thoracal region down to the Th5. Good fixation...

Abstract
Current methods of treatment for retinopathy of prematurity, using laser photocoagulation, require surgeons to assume awkward standing positions, which can result in occupational injury. A new infant surgical table was designed for improving this surgical procedure. To quantify its benefits, an ergon...

Abstract
The highest percentage shortfall was 20.5% at a set torque of 11.4 Ncm (absolute deviation of -2.4 Ncm). The highest percentage by which a torque was exceeded was 54.6% (absolute deviation of 5.5 Ncm). The lowest value for absolute shortfall was found to be -5.6 Ncm at a set torque of 45 Ncm. The hi...

Abstract
Of the 522 LASIK cases (119 without marking pen, 403 with marking pen), DLK developed in 49 (9.4%). No eye treated without the marking pen developed DLK; of those in which the marking pen was used, 49 (12.2%) developed DLK (P<0.0001, Fischer exact test; odds ratio, 27). In the 5 consecutive bilatera...
