    Description / Table of Contents: Penetrating keratoplasties in pseudophakia were added to a group with limited prognosis. This was especially valuable, if iris-supported and anterior chamber intraocular lenses were implanted. Since today mainly posterior chamber lenses are implanted, the question of the long-term prognosis in this type of lens is important. Patients and method: From 1985 to 1994, 62 penetrating keratoplasties in pseudophakic eyes with posterior chamber IOL were performed: group I: decompensated Fuchs dystrophy (26 patients), group II: secondary surgery-related bullous keratopathy (36 patients) exclusively. Minimal follow-up was 18 months, mean age was 73.7 years. Results: The mean follow-up period was 32 months. The mean visual acuity on delivery was 0.11. After 6 months it was 0.23, after 1 year 0.3, after 2 years 0.35 and after 3 years 0.41 without significant differences in either group. Two years after transplantation 52.8% gained a visual acuity (VA) of ≥0.3, after 3 years 58.6% of which 41.1% had a VA of ≥0,5. There was a visual improvement in 83.4%; the mean spherical equivalent was –0.29 D. Refractive errors within 2 D of emmetropia were found in 56.7%; 95.1% of the grafts remained clear. Five patients had a reversible graft rejection. Extracorneal factors of impaired vision were observed in 25 patients. Conclusion: Despite a different VA before surgery, the visual outcome in the two groups was identical. Penetrating keratoplasty in Fuchs dystrophy and secondary bullous keratopathy with posterior chamber IOL have a much better long-term prognosis than those with iris-supported and anterior chamber IOL. Postoperative complications and graft rejections are rare.
    Notes: Perforierende Keratoplastiken bei Pseudophakie zählten bisher zur Gruppe mit einer eingeschränkten Prognose. Dies galt insbesondere, wenn iris- und kammerwinkelgestützte Intraokularlinsen implantiert wurden. Es ergibt sich die Frage wie die Langzeitprognose bei der üblichen Hinterkammerlinsenimplantation ist. Patienten und Methode: Im Zeitraum von 1985 – 1994 wurden 62 perforierende Keratoplastiken an pseudophaken Augen mit Hinterkammerlinse durchgeführt wegen: Gruppe I: dekompensierte Fuchs-Dystrophie (26 Patienten), Gruppe II: sekundär operationsbedingte bullöse Keratopathie (36 Patienten). Die Mindestnachbeobachtung betrug 18 Monate. Das mittlere Alter lag bei 73,7 Jahren. Ergebnisse: Bei einer durchschnittlichen Nachbeobachtung von 32 Monaten betrug das mittlere Sehvermögen bei der Entlassung 0,11, nach 6 Monaten 0,23, nach 1 Jahr 0,3, nach 2 Jahren 0,35, nach 3 Jahren 0,41 ohne signifikanten Unterschied in beiden Gruppen. Zwei Jahre nach der Transplantation hatten 52,8% der Patienten einen Visus von ≥0,3, nach 3 Jahren waren es 58,6%, davon 41,1% mit einem Visus ≥0,5, das entspricht einer Visusverbesserung bei 83,4%. Das durchschnittliche sphärische Äquivalent betrug –0,29 dpt. 56,7% lagen zwischen + und –2 dpt. 95,1% der Transplantate blieben klar. Bei 5 Patienten kam es zu einer reversiblen Abstoßungsreaktion. Extrakorneale Ursachen einer Visusminderung wurden bei 25 Patienten beobachtet. Schlußfolgerung: Trotz unterschiedlichem Ausgangsvisus waren die postoperativen Ergebnisse in beiden Gruppen gleich. Perforierende Keratoplastiken wegen Fuchs-Dystrophie und sekundär bullöser Keratopathie haben bei HKL eine wesentlich bessere Langzeitprognose als bei iris- und kammerwinkelgestützten IOL. Postoperative Komplikationen und Transplantateintrübungen sind selten.

    Notes: Recent measurements of the two-dimensional (2-D) spatial profiles of divertor plasma density, temperature, and emissivity in the DIII-D tokamak [J. Luxon et al., in Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Plasma Physics and Controlled Nuclear Fusion (International Atomic Energy Agency, Vienna, 1987), p. 159] under highly radiating conditions are presented. Data are obtained using a divertor Thomson scattering system and other diagnostics optimized for measuring the high electron densities and low temperatures in these detached divertor plasmas (ne≤1021 m−3, 0.5 eV≤Te). D2 gas injection in the divertor increases the plasma radiation and lowers Te to less than 2 eV in most of the divertor volume. Modeling shows that this temperature is low enough to allow ion–neutral collisions, charge exchange, and volume recombination to play significant roles in reducing the plasma pressure along the magnetic separatrix by a factor of 3–5, consistent with the measurements. Absolutely calibrated vacuum ultraviolet spectroscopy and 2-D images of impurity emission show that carbon radiation near the X-point, and deuterium radiation near the target plates contribute to the reduction in Te. Uniformity of radiated power (Prad) (within a factor of 2) along the outer divertor leg, with peak heat flux on the divertor target reduced fourfold, was obtained. A comparison with 2-D fluid simulations shows good agreement when physical sputtering and an ad hoc chemical sputtering source (0.5%) from the private flux region surface are used. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The problem of multiple time scales in modeling plasmas by dynamical particle simulation methods, such as the particle-in-cell (PIC) method, is well known. One important cause is the large ratio of the ion and electron mass. Ways to overcome this problem are the implicit PIC, or simply, the use of a reduced ion–electron mass ratio. However, these methods are not acceptable in modeling dc glow discharges by the PIC-Monte Carlo hybrid simulation technique. Therefore, a new method called asynchronous cycling was developed, which manipulates the synchronization of the electron and ion simulation cycles. It allows a 50 times faster convergence due to direct reduction of the different time scales for situations in which the changes of macroscopic quantities are slower than the ion movement. This is demonstrated by the modeling of a complete one-dimensional dc glow discharge including cathode fall, plasma bulk, and anode fall. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A video camera system has been installed on the DIII-D tokamak for two-dimensional spatial studies of line emission in the lower divertor region. The system views the divertor tangentially at approximately the height of the X point through an outer port. At the tangency plane, the entire divertor from the inner wall to outside the DIII-D bias ring is viewed with spatial resolution of ∼1 cm. The image contains information from ∼90 deg of toroidal angle. In a recent upgrade, remotely controllable filter changers were added which have produced images from nominally identical discharges using different spectral lines. Software was developed to calculate the response function matrix of the optical system using distributed computing techniques and assuming toroidal symmetry. Standard sparse matrix algorithms are then used to invert the three-dimensional images onto a poloidal plane. Spatial resolution of the inverted images is 2 cm; higher resolution simply increases the size of the response function matrix. Initial results from a series of experiments with multiple identical discharges show that the emission from C II and C III, which appears along the inner scrape-off layer above and below the X point during ELMing H mode, moves outward and becomes localized near the X point in radiative divertor operation induced by deuterium injection. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Oyster cultch was added to the lower intertidal fringe of three created Spartina alterniflora marshes to examine its value in protecting the marsh from erosion. Twelve 5-m-wide plots were established at each site, with six randomly selected plots unaltered (non-cultched) and cultch added to the remaining (cultched) plots. Within each cultched plot, cultch was placed along the low tide fringe of the marsh during July 1992, in a band 1.5 m wide by 0.25 m deep. Marsh-edge vegetation stability and sediment erosion were measured for each plot from September 1992 to April 1994. Significant differences (p 〈 0.05) in marsh-edge vegetation change were detected at the only south-facing site after a major southwester storm. Significantly different rates of sediment erosion and accretion also were observed at this same site. Areas upland of the marsh edge in the cultched areas showed an average accretion of 6.3 cm, while noncultched treatment areas showed an average loss of 3.2 cm. A second site, with a northern orientation, also experienced differential sediment accretion and erosion between treatment type, caused instead by boat wakes that were magnified by the abutment of a dredge effluent pipe across the entire front fringe of the site. During this period we observed significant differences in sediment accumulation, with the areas upland of the marsh edge in the cultched treatment having an average accretion of 2.9 cm and the noncultched an average loss of 1.3 cm.

    Notes: The aim of the study was to compare arterial and venous flow volume in the punctured leg in patients given a conventional pressure dressing and those given a new hemostatic puncture closure device (Angio-Seal) after cardiac catheterization. We prospectively measured blood flow in 25 patients with pressure dressing (group A) and 25 patients with Angio-Seal (group B) after cardiac catheterization. Duplex sonographic measurements were performed at the superficial femoral artery and vein of the punctured leg. In group A measurements were performed before catheterization, during pressure dressing, and after removal of pressure dressing. In group B we performed the measurements before catheterization and after closure of the puncture site with Angio-Seal. Mean arterial and venous blood flow of the superficial femoral artery and vein were calculated. Statistical evaluation was performed using the one-sample Wilcoxon test. In group A there was a significant reduction of blood flow volume in both the femoral artery, from a mean of 119 mL/min before puncture to 78 mL/min with pressure dressing, and the femoral vein, from 114 mL/min before puncture to 82 mL/min with pressure dressing (P 〈 0.0001). After removal of pressure dressing the blood flow rose to 119 mL/min in the femoral artery and 116 mL/min in the femoral vein. In group B there was no change in flow volume before and after catheterization (femoral artery: 117 vs 118 mL/min, femoral vein 119 vs 120 mL/min, P = ns). We conclude that the use of pressure dressing after cardiac catheterization caused a significant reduction in arterial and venous blood flow (about 30%) during immobilization. The new Angio-Seal closure device did not affect arterial or venous flow.
