Association Between Conjunctival and Corneal Calcification and Atherosclerotic Changes in the Carotid Artery in Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:To compare the efficacy of Dermabond with conventional nylon sutures for sealing linear corneal incisions. METHODS:A keratome knife was used to create a 4-mm full-thickness linear corneal incision anterior to the limbal arcade in 20 fresh pig eyes. The incision was sealed with Dermabond tissue adhesive or cl...
