Corneal ring segments (INTACS) for the treatment of asymmetrical astigmatism of the keratoconus. Follow-up after 2 years
(Masson Editeur, 2003) Tunç, Zeki; Deveci, Nuran; Sener, Bozkurt; Bahçecioğlu, Halil Ibrahim
Objective: To evaluate the use of corneal ring segments (INTACS) for the treatment of asymmetrical astigmatism in keratoconus. Material and methods: This prospective study involved nine eyes of seven patients who were operated on between December 1998 and June 2000. A case of keratoconus with opacified cornea was excluded from this study. The patients chosen were contact lens-intolerant. The surgical intervention was carried out under topical anesthesia. The INTACS (Addition Technology) corneal ring insert was inserted approximately 68% of the peripheral corneal depth and was centered to the cone of the cornea. Results: No intraoperative complications occurred. We noted a flattening of the central cornea and a decrease in irregular astigmatism for all patients. Mean preoperative uncorrected visual acuity was less than 1/10. Postoperatively two eyes had an uncorrected visual acuity of 10/10 seven eyes showed an improvement from an uncorrected visual acuity of 2/10 to 7/10. Conclusion: We have observed that the flattening effect of INTACS inserts on the soft corneal keratoconic tissue and on the high astigmatic tissue seems greater than that produced in normal cornea. Implantation of INTACS resulted in a significant reduction in asymmetrical astigmatism of the keratoconus.

The stakes of the Ukrainian crisis in the Black Sea
(Institut de Relations Internationales et Strategiques, 2014) Delanoë, I.
Among the most significant security concerns involving a confrontation between the Euro-Atlantic community and Russia since 1991, the Ukrainian crisis seems to reveal a greater geopolitical game, which cannot be understood without analyzing the strategic issues in the Black Sea region. The North Atlantic Alliance and the European Union on the one hand and the Russian Federation on the other hand, have indeed conflicting interests regarding security, energy and economy in the Pontic area. The annexation of Crimea is only a crisis within a deeper crisis, in which a zero-sum game takes place, and where Ukrainian interests seem subsequently relegated as secondary ones.
