Ancient Parchment Examination by Surface Investigation Methods.

A restoring process was set up to restore flexibility, size, and shape in naturally aged or fire-damaged parchments of old manuscripts. Validation of such a process requires the measurement of intrinsic parchment properties and comparison of them before and after the treatment. To this aim, we investigated morphological, mechanical, and surface physico-chemical properties of parchment by taking SEM pictures and characterizing small samples by microindentation, mercury porosimetry, and water vapor adsorption/desorption isotherms.

Bilateral juxtafoveolar telangiectasis in monozygotic twins.

PURPOSE: To report the clinical and angiographic features of two monozygotic twins affected by bilateral group 2 idiopathic juxtafoveolar telangiectasis. METHOD: Case reports. RESULTS: Two 64-year-old women, who were identical twins, were suffering from visual loss. One twin had suffered from visual loss for 1 year and had a visual acuity of 20/25 in both eyes, and the other twin had suffered for 2 years and had a visual acuity of 20/30 in both eyes. Fluorescein angiography disclosed similar fundus features. An analogous area of capillary telangiectasis and leakage was observed in the right macula, where no intraretinal pigment was seen; the left macula showed a similar amount of intraretinal pigment associated with tiny right-angle venules and minimal leakage. CONCLUSION: This observation raises the issue of genetic influences in the pathogenesis of this disease.
