Trou maculaire secondaire. Un traumatisme, dû à une déformation soudaine du globe, entraîne un aplatissement du pôle postérieur ainsi qu'un brutal étirement de la macula. En conséquence, la macula s’ouvre même si le vitré reste attaché au pôle postérieur. Les trous maculaires traumatiques peuvent être associés à d’autres lésions oculaires siégeant dans le segment antérieur ou au pôle postérieur. On les retrouve surtout chez des patients jeunes suite à un accident du travail, domestique ou à une activité sportive violente. 2, record 1, French, - trou%20maculaire%20traumatique

This is the usual practice when using delay detonators in order to minimize the danger of cutoff holes. 2, record 6, English, - inverse%20initiation
Record number: 6, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Although "indirect initiation" and "inverse initiation" are considered by most authors as being synonymous, one must consider these terms as being two distinct notions when one takes into account the position of the detonator. In the case of "indirect initiation", the detonator is placed first in the shothole whereas in the case of "inverse initiation", the detonator occupies an intermediate position. However, in both instances, the detonator is pointing backwards. See also "indirect initiation". 3, record 6, English, - inverse%20initiation

On distingue [...] trois modes d’amorçage quant à la disposition de l'amorce par rapport à la charge :-l'amorçage antérieur, [...] l'amorçage postérieur, [...] l'amorçage inverse où l'amorce se trouve dans une position intermédiaire [...] Ce dernier ne semble guère utilisé que dans les mines américaines et canadiennes où l'on tasse l'explosif dans le trou de mine. Le tassage de l'explosif se fait avec des bourroirs bois, sans danger pour l'explosif, mais qui pourraient être dangereux pour l'amorce si elle heurtait une aspérité de roche au fond du trou; c'est sans doute la raison pour laquelle on place au fond de celui-ci une ou plusieurs cartouches formant tampon pour la cartouche amorce. En France, le tassage de l'explosif est interdit ainsi que l'amorçage inverse. 2, record 6, French, - amor%C3%A7age%20inverse
