The OCT is a recent diagnostic tool for non-invasive tissue examination, which has been used in clinical practice since 1995. The OCT is similar to the ultrasonic tomography in that it relies on optical waves rather than ultrasound ones. The ability to obtain highcontrast images of the retina in a non-invasive manner has made this examination very important in retinal diseases associated with macula.. Therefore, our objective is to study the statistical values of the measurements of the macular thickness using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and the relationship of each value to age, sex, medication ,duration of diabetes ,and the visual acuity in diabetic eyes. Therefore, the accurate measurement of the macular thickness is important to follow up disease progression, evaluate treatment and accurately diagnose lesions of visual acuity. The thickness of the macula in the left and right eye was thicker in males than in females. We find out that the visual ability declines with age. For both left and right eyes, the thickness of the macula increases with age and the content of the macula correlates with its thickness and the period of the disease. There are no statistically significant differences of the thicknesses with different treatment types (insulin or pills),so we notice a correlation between the visual acuity and the thickness of the macula in both eyes ,so that the higher the thickness of the macula in diabetic patients ,the lower the visual acuity . In the study of the different parts of the macula, the internal part is thicker than the external part and the nasal part is thicker than the different parts of the macula, and the nasointernal part is the thickest.

The increasing number of individuals with diabetes suggests that diabetic retinopathy DR is a major contributor to vision loss. The initial disease is characterized by increased vascular permeability due to a breakdown in the blood-retinal barrier BRB, causing macular edema DME, with a progressive vascular occlusion and retinal neovascularization which are secondary to ischemia and oxidative stress. Laser photocoagulation and vitrectomy only target advanced stages of disease. However, despite laser treatment, patients with DME experienced gradual loss of vision. Intravitreal triamcinolone IVTA reduces the breakdown of BRB and down-regulates the production of vascular endothelial growth factor VEGF. IVTA may moderately but temporarily improves visual acuity in cases of DME. Agents that attenuate VEGF action such as bevacizumab are expected to reduce permeability and neovascularization. Intravitrealbevacizumab IVB reduces macular edema secondary to central retinal vein occlusion, vascular permeability and fibrovascular proliferationin. Calcium dobesilate CD is a potent antioxidant, slows vascular proliferation.
Abstract While pretrained language models (LMs) have driven impressive gains over morpho-syntactic and semantic tasks, their ability to model discourse and pragmatic phenomena is less clear. As a step towards a better understanding of their discourse modeling capabilities, we propose a sentence intrusion detection task. We examine the performance of a broad range of pretrained LMs on this detection task for English. Lacking a dataset for the task, we introduce INSteD, a novel intruder sentence detection dataset, containing 170,000+ documents constructed from English Wikipedia and CNN news articles. Our experiments show that pretrained LMs perform impressively in in-domain evaluation, but experience a substantial drop in the cross-domain setting, indicating limited generalization capacity. Further results over a novel linguistic probe dataset show that there is substantial room for improvement, especially in the cross- domain setting.
The RME force is not only concentrated on widening the maxilla, it is concomitant changes occur in craniofacial sutures, from here the need for this study was originated. Aim of the study: To investigate the immediate effect of rapid maxillary expansion on the spheno-occipital Synchondrosis in children using cone beam computed tomography.
Background& Objective: This study was carried out to test fracture resistance of crowns with Zirconia core made by CAD/CAM of two thicknesses, and test the influence of decreasing the core thickness on its fracture resistance, and study the patterns of failure.
It is difficult to choose between the rapid maxillary expansion (RME) and surgically assisted RME (SARME), we aimed to study the relationship between the obliteration index in midpalatal suture and cervical vertebral maturation staging (CVMs).
