Is pupil ovalization after phakic intraocular lens implantation associated with sectorial iris hypoperfusion?
Iris ovalization after phakic intraocular lens implantation may be associated with a lack of iris perfusion and with secondary ischemia. Patients with these lenses and pupil ovalization should be followed regularly.
The present results demonstrate impaired ventricular function and calcium homeostasis after hypothermia in guinea pig hearts perfused with fatty acids in addition to glucose, as compared to hearts perfused with glucose alone. Furthermore, we show that these unfavourable effects of fatty acids can be overcome by an exogenous supply of pyruvate.
