摘要:
Disclosed is the use of cloprostenol, fluprostenol, their analogues and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts and esters for the treatment of glaucoma and ocular hypertension. Also disclosed are ophthalmic compositions comprising said compounds.
摘要:
A system and method for tuning and controlling ultrasonic handpieces by varying the frequency of the drive signal that is fed to the handpiece by a discrete dither increment. A digital signal processor may be used to measure the response of the handpiece to the varying drive signal and compare these responses to determine the probable value of the actual series resonance. The output of the digital signal processor is used to generate control parameters embodied within an appropriate control signal, which is fed to the source of the drive signal in order to alter aspects of the drive signal.
摘要:
Angiostatic steroids for use in controlling neovascularization and ocular hypertension are disclosed. Pharmaceutical compositions of the angiostatic steroids and methods for their use in treating neovascularization and ocular hypertension, including controlling the ocular hypertension associated with primary open angle glaucoma, are disclosed. In addition, the combination of the compounds with glucocorticoids for the prevention of elevated intraocular pressure during the treatment of inflammation is disclosed.
摘要:
A surgical handpiece having two coaxial tubes or channels mounted within a body. The first tube is used for aspiration and is smaller in diameter than the second tube so as to create an annular passage between the first and second tube. The annular passage communicates with a pumping chamber formed between two electrodes. The pumping chamber works by boiling a small volume of the surgical fluid. As the fluid boils, it expands rapidly, thereby propelling the liquid downstream of the pumping chamber out of the annular passage. The distal end of the annular gap is sealed by sealing together the distal ends of the first and second tube and a plurality of orifices or ports may be formed near the seal. As the expanding gas is propelled down the annular gap, the gas/liquid stream is forced out of the distal orifices in a controlled and directed manner. The distal end of the first and second tubes may contain a bend.
