8/25/2023 0 Comments Pinpoint pupil![]() Accommodation is the adaptative faculty that enables clear vision with subjective variation in the linear distance of visual targets. Schematically, the cornea and crystalline lens provide the requisite total dioptric power (about +60 diopters the cornea makes up about + 40 to + 48 diopters). Visual clarity depends on the ability to bring incident light rays to a point focus at the fovea centralis. This review highlights the risk factors for small pupils during surgery and current management strategies.Īs an optical system, the eyes function in line with the basic principles of refraction. Hence, achieving and maintaining adequate mydriasis throughout surgery is essential. When dealing with challenging cases like lens subluxation, pseudo-exfoliation, and zonular dehiscence, a small pupil further increases the risk and adversely affects the surgical outcome. Intra-ocular lens implantation in the bag also requires adequate dilation. Removal of cataract and the cortical matter becomes increasingly difficult. Repeated touching of the iris increases the risk of fibrinous complications. Making a good capsulorhexis with a small pupil can be a challenge, even for an experienced surgeon. For example, if the pupil size decreases from 7 mm to 6 mm, this 1 mm change in pupil diameter will lead to a decrease of 10.2 mm2 in the area of surgical field. Intra-operative miosis limits the field of surgery and increases the risk of complications. ![]() Despite good pre-operative dilation, the pupil can be quite unpredictable during surgery. Various topical and intra-cameral drugs are used in combination to achieve mydriasis. As cataract surgical techniques continue to improvise and get faster, an adequate pupil size is of paramount importance. Our review discusses the simple and quick options available to a cataract surgeon when faced with this dilemma. There are now pharmacological interventions that help tackle this unforeseen happening. This problem is more pronounced in children. Unexpected pupillary constriction during surgery increases the risk of complication. ![]() HS is a rare complication of anterior cervical spine fixation, and it is essential to have a thorough understanding of intraoperative and postoperative ACDF-related complications to avoid them whenever possible and manage them successfully and safely when they occur.Ĭataract surgery requires a well-dilated and stable pupil for a good outcome. Even one year after surgery, the symptoms persisted. Her NLI was C4, and her ASIA Impairment Scale score was C. ![]() During rehabilitation admission, her neurological findings were that her motor level of injury was C4 on the right and C5 on the left, and her sensory level of injury was C4 and C5, respectively, on the right and left sides. She developed ptosis, miosis, and anhidrosis on the side immediately after surgery. She underwent a C5 and C6 central corpectomy and mesh cage fusion by an anterior longitudinal incision via right-sided exposure. The cervical spine MRI suggested compression fractures of the C5 and C6 vertebral bodies with cord compression. Her neurological injury level (NLI) was C4, and her ASIA Impairment Scale score was A. Her pre-operative findings were that her motor level of injury was C4 on the right and C5 on the left, and her sensory level of injury was C4 and C5, respectively, on the right and left sides. A 42-year-old female presented with sudden-onset weakness in both upper and lower limbs secondary to trauma and was diagnosed with a spinal cord injury with tetraplegia. Horner syndrome (HS) is a rare complication of anterior cervical decompression and fusion procedures (ACDF). In addition to conventional mushroom identification methods, this report also highlights the use of toxicology tests on different biological and non-biological specimens for diagnosis, prognosis and surveillance purposes. Key issues in the management of these cases were presented. In this report, the variable clinical presentation of cholinergic mushroom poisoning is discussed. Muscarine, a cholinergic toxin found in mushrooms such as Inocybe and Clitocybe species, was subsequently extracted from and identified in the urine specimens of both patients, using a liquid-chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method. Mushroom specimens were sent to a mycologist for identification using morphological analysis. Mildly elevated liver transaminase was noted in one female patient. The patients volunteered a history of taking two tablespoons of cooked wild mushrooms collected in a country park. Two middle-aged patients presented to the emergency unit with acute gastrointestinal symptoms including epigastric pain, vomiting and diarrhea, followed by miosis, palpitations and diaphoresis which were compatible with a cholinergic toxidrome. We report an uncommon case of cholinergic poisoning following an ingestion of wild mushrooms.

8/25/2023 0 Comments Katana suicide squad 2Enchantress then teleports to Waller's home and finds an idol that contains the spirit of her brother, Incubus. Flag is trying to call Amanda, but Enchantress hits Flag's mind with a vision of June dead to terrify him. Flag refuses to give into these demands, but Floyd says he was talking to Waller. He gives Flag a list of demands, including freedom from his sentence and custody of his daughter. She brings Floyd out and allows him to use an array of guns for target practice. Waller heads to Belle Reve with Flag and June to continue recruiting. Waller tells the others in the room that the plan would be for her team to go out in secrecy with no word of the government's involvement, and if the villains get caught, they'll get "thrown under the bus". She morphs into the witch and demonstrates her power, with Waller poking the heart to control her, which pains Enchantress and also hurts June once she returns to normal. The chairman is not feeling the plan until Waller tells June to bring out Enchantress. Waller, Tolliver, and others gather at the Pentagon in Washington DC to discuss the initiation of Task Force X. Helping Waller is Colonel Rick Flag (Joel Kinnaman), who is motivated because he is in love with June. The spirit possesses June, but Waller carries the heart of Enchantress with her in order to maintain control over her. June Moone (Cara Delevignge), an archaeologist who recently came across a cave and found an idol, releasing the spirit of a 6,000-year-old witch called Enchantress. Croc was treated like a monster, so he acted like one and devoured anyone that crossed him. Then there's Waylon Jones/Killer Croc (Adewale Akinnouye-Agbaje), a thug with an unusual disorder that gives him green scaly skin. He possesses pyrokinetic abilities, and he willingly turned himself in. Next is Chato Santana (Jay Hernandez), a former gang-banger known as El Diablo. He was caught by The Flash (Ezra Miller). Among Waller's other picks are Digger Harkness (AKA: Captain Boomerang) (Jai Courtney), a thief that used a bladed boomerang and would double-cross his partners. Batman jumped in and found Harley, then took her to jail. The two were ran off the road and into the river. Later, Joker and Harley made their getaway but were chased by Batman in the Batmobile. Harley offered him company, but he declined out of fear that Joker would be displeased. He invited her to join him and a gangster he met with named Monster T (Common). ![]() Another couple flashbacks show Joker and Harley in a nightclub where Harley was dancing. Waller knows that Harley is even crazier and more fearless than Joker, which makes her a very valuable asset. He then tortured Harleen for months until she went insane and turned her into his love slave and eventually his wife. The Joker escaped from prison by using Harleen as a hostage. Instead of fixing him, she fell in love with him. Her last patient was The Joker (Jared Leto). Waller's next pick is Harley, who was originally a therapist named Dr. Floyd got his gun and prepared to shoot Batman, but Zoe stood in the way and pleaded with him not to do it. Her mother wouldn't let her because they both know Floyd is a killer, though he denied it to Zoe. In another flashback, the two were walking together and discussing Zoe moving in with Floyd. Floyd has a daughter, Zoe (Shailyn Pierre-Dixon). He goads his employer into doubling his pay, and Deadshot kills his target by having his bullet ricochet off a gate to strike the man. In a flashback, we see Deadshot preparing to take out a target. She starts with Floyd, who was an expert marksman known as Deadshot. Waller pulls out her files and goes through her proposed recruits. Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) meets with her associates Admiral Olsen (Ted Whittall) and Dexter Tolliver (David Harbour) to discuss the organization of Task Force X, her idea of creating a team of the most dangerous criminals to combat any possible major catastrophe. It's been months since the death of Superman (a reference to the film 'Batman vs. This triggers a flashback in Harley's mind of when she first showed up at the place, having just gone insane. ![]() Griggs shows up to see her, and he has one of the guards turn on the electricity on the bars when she gets too close. Meanwhile, Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) is hanging upside down in her cell (more like a cage). Taking that as a threat, Griggs has Floyd strapped to a chair and beaten by the other guards. When Griggs taunts him, Floyd threatens to get him someday. The guards, led by Captain Griggs (Ike Barinholtz), bring Floyd a lousy meal. Floyd Lawton (AKA: Deadshot) (Will Smith) is in his cell going at his punching bag. The film opens at the Belle Reve Penitentiary. 8/24/2023 0 Comments Intel desktop board dh61ww drivers![]() Discover newer Intel Processors and experience.

Snap-on cases are typically the most lightweight and best for interacting directly with the iPad’s touchscreen and using it with an Apple Pencil. On the other hand, consider a standard folio with adjustable viewing angles if you plan to connect an external keyboard (and mouse) to your iPad Air. For example, if you plan to use a Magic Keyboard or a Smart Keyboard Folio with your slate, you should consider a cover that can accommodate these accessories. To choose the best case for your iPad Air, it’s important to consider how you're planning on using it. Its screen cover also brings additional convenience by serving as viewing or a typing stand. ![]() The folio case will guard your tablet when you don't use it. However, such an accessory won't protect the device during drops as reliably as a folio case. The snap-on case will protect the back of the slate and treat you to constructed access to its Retina display. StyleĬhoosing between a folio or a snap-on case is an important decision to make, as each offers a distinct set of benefits over the other. Cases for the 5th generation iPad Air are compatible with the 4th-generation model released in 2020. Considering these features will help you find the case that's right for you. A case with a kickstand or keyboard may be a better option if you use the tablet for work or school. ![]() You should consider a rugged case if you use your iPad Air in extreme environments (or if you have kids). You’ll be using the case daily, so it’s worth finding one that fits your workflow. Picking a durable or functional case isn’t a decision that should be taken lightly. 8/24/2023 0 Comments Cheese chopper shark tank update![]() I can really see people just throwing it out when the realize how inconvenient it is.

Where do you put your stuff between uses? Endlessly unfolding, setting up the makeup/dryer, etc., and then removing it all again, and refolding and storing the matte is absurd. I think a tray device, with a 2" lip on three sides, that could fit in a counter, or on the sink would work, and then you just move it to your bedroom after you finish. The Matte (Makeup Organizer)-A mat that unfolds, and fits over the bathroom sink, and is extra counter space. If this works the way they claim it will, then it will be the next Scrub Daddy for Lori).

However, if you use fabric softener, it won't pick up hair.

Since the last time we updated our guide, ultra-short-throw projectors have become the hot new category, offering several benefits. What to look for in a projector Ultra-short-throw LCD projectors tend to be sharper, more efficient and more color accurate, but have lower contrast ratios and can experience image degradation over time. Those then pass through LCD displays containing the image and converge via another prism before passing through the projector’s lens.Įpson is the primary user of LCD tech, along with Sony, Sanyo and others. ![]() LCD tech, meanwhile, uses a prism to split a light source into red, green and blue beams. The biggest drawback is the rainbow effect, or bright red/blue/green artifacts that affect some viewers more than others. The benefits of the tech are portability, high contrast, less fringing and cheaper projectors, especially 4K and ultra-short-throw models. ![]() Both use mirrors that tilt by +12 and -12 degrees for white and black, but TI recently unveiled a new 0.47-inch 4K-capable DMD with +/-17 degrees of tilt, which should enhance both brightness and contrast.ĭLP projector makers include LG, Optoma, LG, BenQ and Panasonic. Those tilt either toward the light source (on) or away from it (off) at up to 5,000 times per second.īudget projectors like BenQ’s HT3550i use TI’s 0.47-inch DMD, while higher end models, like the Samsung Premium LSP9T use the 0.66-inch chip. The heart of the tech is an optical semiconductor called a digital micromirror device (DMD) that contains millions of aluminum mirrors. Most projector manufacturers now use DLPs, or digital light processing units, manufactured nearly exclusively by Texas Instruments (TI). That’s essentially a lifetime of use (about 10 years). Lasers are a far better solution than lamps, because they’re brighter and last far longer - up to 30,000 hours instead of 6,000. The rise of ultra-short-throw projectors and brighter long-throw models, meanwhile, has been powered by falling prices in laser illumination technology. ![]() They’re fundamentally different systems, with their own advantages and drawbacks. Here are the basics: Projectors generally use two types of technology, LCD and DLP.

That’s around the same price and over double the size of a decent 65-inch TV, giving you something close to true movie theater immersion with a home theater projector. ![]() Better still, you can now get 4K HDR models that can project an image size up to 150-inches for as little as $1,000. Over the last year, we’ve seen models bright enough to use in a normal room, short-throw models that take up very little space and have built-in sound bars, and better picture quality than ever with 4K and Dolby Vision features. 8/24/2023 0 Comments Courtney love frances bean![]() ![]() Love's Twitter account is currently set to private but her public Twitter bio states the following ironic piece of info, "Well, I shouldn't really be here so pretend I'm not, as long as I don't use it when I get pissed off, well all be fine.

And if your friend in the virtual world is far away from you - and the volume of his voice will be muted - just like in the real world. For example, if a player is standing to your left, his voice from Mumble will also sound to your left. Gamers will appreciate the unique feature of Mumble that distinguishes it from other VoIP clients - in this program there is a function of sound positioning that allows players' voices to "move" in accordance with the position of the character in the game. The application can be displayed in two modes - standard and minimalist. I just want to take this chance to say it's.

Saved by her love for diving, and then by meeting her husband and stepdaughter, Amy has worked hard to build a normal, stable life she even has a new baby. The booze flows freely, and soon the women are engaged in a game: What is the worst thing you did today? This week? This month? In your life? There are many women in the gathering with secrets to protect, but none more than Amy, who, as a teenager, committed a terrible crime that almost destroyed her. But when new neighbor Angelica Roux shows up at hostess Amy’s door, it doesn’t take long for all hell to break loose. It was supposed to be book club as usual: a group of suburban mothers gathering to talk over a glass of wine or two and then going home to bed. “Never Have I Ever” premieres April 27 on Netflix.Amy Whey’s sins come back to haunt her when she’s extorted for money by a beautiful stranger in Jackson’s ( The Almost Sisters, 2017, etc.) first thriller. And “Never Have I Ever” quickly takes its place at, or at least near, the head of the class. That said, there’s always room for another good one. With its emphasis on appealing to different demos, Netflix has practically flooded that market all by itself. It helps enormously, too, that Devi’s mother is a genuinely sympathetic and three-dimensional character, as opposed to being reduced to the status of Charlie Brown’s parents, which is so often the case.Īfter a string of network comedies and the movie “Late Night,” Kaling produces the djpe with Lang Fisher (who also worked on “The Mindy Project”), and it joins a too-long list of series and movies built around angst-ridden teens. All of that is further complicated by the tension between her mom’s cultural traditions and Devi’s current reality, about as universal a theme as one could find. The situations oscillate between the outlandish and the familiar, but what sells it all, ultimately, is Ramakrishnan, who manages to be likable, relatable and confused all at once – a microcosm of navigating those awkward teen years, with a whole lot of self-pity thrown in. For starters, Devi’s story is narrated by tennis great John McEnroe, who proves surprisingly good at it, even if he seems a little mystified by his participation, along with the rest of us. ![]() If you’re not sold yet – and frankly, that description wouldn’t do it – “Never Have I Ever” has an irreverent streak that works very much in its favor. He’s basically her version of Jordan Catalano for those old enough to remember “My So-Called Life,” which you should quickly find and watch if you don’t. ![]() Plus, there’s a dreamy boy (Darren Barnet) – whose washboard abs compensate for any deficiency in communication skills – with whom Devi is pretty much obsessed. That leaves her going through high-school dilemmas – among them potentially losing her virginity – while constantly sparring with her concerned mom (Poorna Jagannathan), and grappling with shifting dynamics regarding the friends (Ramona Young, Lee Rodriguez) she’s come to rely upon over the years. Sweet, funny and occasionally flat-out weird, it’s the latest show that brings an independent-film sensibility to the half-hour comedy format.Ĭreated by Mindy Kaling, the semi-autobiographical series focuses on a first-generation Indian-American, Devi, still reeling from the abrupt death of her father (“Heroes’” Sendhil Ramamurthy, seen in flashbacks). Overcoming the saturation of coming-of-age titles, “Never Have I Ever” adds fresh wrinkles to an old formula, thanks in part to a breakout turn by Maitreyi Ramakrishnan as a high-school sophomore adjusting to a life turned upside down. |
