Intraocular gas tamponade has become an integral part of macular hole surgery. It is thought to improve success rates of hole closure by providing a tamponade which either forces the healing hole against the retinal pigment epithelium or isolating the hole from liquefied vitreous humor. Various measures have been employed to lengthen the duration of contact between the healing macula and the tamponade agent, including(1) face-down posturing,(2) the use of longer-acting gases and(3) lens extraction to increase the volume of gas used. 1, record 1, English, - intraocular%20gas%20tamponade

Le second pilier de la chirurgie vitréorétinienne moderne est l'utilisation du tamponnement intraoculaire, dont la durée et les propriétés peuvent être ajustées en fonction de la pathologie traitée. [...] Le tamponnement par gaz permet un effet transitoire, dont la durée peut être modulée. [...] Le choix du gaz dépendra de la durée du tamponnement souhaitée. [...] Le C2F6 pur voit sont volume dans la cavité vitréenne tripler en deux à trois jours. Pour obtenir un tamponnement prolongé dans les parties inférieures de l'œil, il peut être dilué à une concentration de 18 % à 20 %. Cela permet à la bulle de gaz de s'étendre pendant deux à trois jours, offrant ainsi un tamponnement complet de la rétine pendant quasiment une semaine [...] 4, record 1, French, - tamponnement%20intraoculaire%20par%20gaz

Calorie restriction is what most people call "dieting, "and it is a commonly used weight loss method. Some people also believe that a long-term commitment to a nutrient-dense, calorie-restricted diet slows down the aging process and leads to a longer, healthier life. Long-term calorie restriction has been shown to lengthen the life and improve the health of laboratory animals, but there is not enough evidence to say whether a similar diet can extend the lives of humans. 3, record 13, English, - calorie%2Drestricted%20diet

Les cavaletti. Ils sont composés de barres fixées à chaque extrémité à des supports. Les barres doivent être en bois, épaisses de 10 cm environ, rondes et en bon état, pour que le cheval les respecte, longues de 2 à 4 m maximum. Plus les barres seront longues, plus on aura de mal à canaliser les chevaux. Deux formes différentes de supports latéraux : les uns rectangulaires, les autres en forme de croix. Par contre, les modèles en forme de croix ont l'avantage de pouvoir être disposés selon trois différentes hauteurs : 15-20 cm; 30-35 cm; 50 cm. La hauteur la plus basse, qui est communément considérée comme étant normale, se situe entre 15 et 20 cm. Elle sert surtout pour le travail au pas et au trot. Pour le galop, il est recommandé de prendre la position à 50 cm du sol pour que le reste du galop puisse avoir l'amplitude voulue et que le cheval soit, dès le début, incité à être attentif. 3, record 18, French, - cavaletti
