3 lines and 2.7 lines, respectively, the mean reduction in maximum keratometry was 4.50 diopters (D) and 4.70 D, respectively, and the mean reduction in SE, 3.18 D and 3.09 D, respectively. There were no statistically significant differences between the 2 groups in visual Selleck CAL 101 or refractive results (P>.05) Anterior corneal perforation, superficial segment placement, and segment extrusion occurred in 1 eye each in the mechanical group. Segment migration occurred in 1 eye in the femtosecond group.

CONCLUSION: Despite intraoperative complications in the mechanical group, the visual and refractive outcomes were similar to those in the femtosecond group

“High-quality polycrystalline SmFeAsO0.75 was synthesized with a superconducting transition width less than 1 K, and the electronic behavior was systematically studied by transport and specific heat measurements. An obvious superconducting jump was witnessed, together with a very small normalized superconducting jump, Delta C/gamma T-n(c) similar to 0.2, which is much smaller than expected from the BCS theory. A strong temperature-dependent Hall coefficient

was found and attributed to the partial gapping of the Fermi surface up to the temperature of 160 K, which was predicted and supported by the emergence of the pseudogap. The charge-carrier

density as well as the effective mass were also obtained and discussed in detail. selleck compound (C) 2011 American Institute of Physics. [doi:10.1063/1.3573667]“
“The aim of the study was to describe the patients’ experiences of the information and support they received after being placed on the waiting list for a heart or lung transplant. The design was qualitative, and the critical incident technique was used. CRT0066101 Incidents were collected via interviews with 21 patients. A total of 357 important events, both positive and negative, were identified and divided into two main groups: Body and mind and Information and support. The following subgroups emerged: chronic illness affects the patients, attitudes towards the future, impact of information, support from public organizations, and support from the private sphere. The patients showed knowledge of and involvement in the upcoming transplantation, which indicates that healthcare professionals managed to convey information and support effectively. By identifying the importance of factors such as body and mind and information and support for patients recently accepted for heart or lung transplantation, healthcare professionals are able to make specific improvements in the information and support that they provide. An important implication is to enhance the knowledge regarding transplant patients in other institutions and improve cooperation. Specific support programs to assist patients who have dependent children should be developed.
