1056 Crandall, Alan S.Torn posterior capsule: prevention, recognition and managementModern cataract surgery performed with phacoemulsification allows meticulous intraocular control and minimal incision size, but has the inherent risk of capsular rupture. Therefore, surgeons performing cataract surgery will inevitably face the complication of a torn posterior capsule.

1062 Gesteland, Raymond F.; Baranov, Pavel V.; Atkins, John F.; Hammer, Andrew W.Transcriptional slippage in bacteria: distribution in sequenced genomes and utilization in IS element gene expressionABSTRACT: Background: Transcription slippage occurs on certain patterns of repeat mononucleotides, resulting in synthesis of a heterogeneous population of mRNAs. Individual mRNA molecules within this population differ in the number of nucleotides they contain that are not specified by the templat...Transcription slippage; Bacterial genomes; IS element genes2005
1063 Couldwell, William T.Transfacet pedicle-sparing approach for thoracic disc removal: cadaveric morphometric analysis and preliminary clinical experienceA number of operative techniques have been described for the treatment of herniated thoracic discs. The transfacet pedicle-sparing approach allows for complete disc removal with limited spinal column disruption and soft-tissue dissection. Fifteen cadaveric spinal columns were used for evaluation of...Thoracic spine; Herniated thoracic discs; Intervertebral disc herniation; Discectomy; Pedicle; Radiculopathy; Myelopathy1998
1064 Bernstein, Paul S.Transformations of selected carotenoids in plasma, liver, and ocular tissues of humans and in nonprimate animal modelsPURPOSE: To determine the stereochemistry of carotenoids in human ocular tissues in comparison with plasma and liver and to elucidate the possible transformations of dietary (3R,3'R,6'R)-lutein and (3R,3'R)-zeaxanthin in the eye. Similarly, to characterize the carotenoid profiles in the eye tissues,...Chromatography, High Pressure Liquid; Stereoisomerism; Xanthophylls2002
