Myopic patients, who benefit most from LASIK, are also those at highest risk for retinal detachment due to the association between myopia and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). It has been hypothesized that LASIK-induced posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) leads to an association between LASIK and late-occurring RRD, since PVD has been associated with an increased risk of RRD. Wavefront Analysis in Post-LASIK Eyes Refractive surgeons have long awaited wavefront-guided treatments for patients who have unpleasant visual symptoms following LASIK. The first step in achieving this goal is accurate measurement of postoperative aberrations. A recent study evaluated information and correlated those data with visual symptoms, refraction, and corneal topography.

Extractions: Custom Scans Advertisements from the Spanish-American and Philippine-American Wars By Jim Zwick W hen the Spanish-American War began in April of 1898, American businesses responded quickly, capitalizing on the public's interest in the war. Many publicized real or imagined associations with the military. Williams' Shaving Stick was "the favorite with the Army and Navy." Royal Baking Powder was "specially selected for use in both the Army and Navy." Supporting the war effort, the Prudential Insurance Company and New York Life Insurance Company announced that their present policy-holders could serve in the military without paying extra premiums. Proclaiming that "women are more patriotic than men," Silver Sheen Novelty Skirtings produced a new line of "Red, White and Blue Skirting." Waltham went for gift sales with the suggestion that "every American soldier and every American sailor should carry the best American watch." Seven advertisements from the war years with distinctive graphic images are reproduced below. Ranging from a suggestion that Ivory Soap be used to prepare for "any battle of life" to an ad for Grape-Nuts cereal that used contemporary concerns about cannibalism in the tropics to pitch its stomach-strengthening qualities, they demonstrate the variety of approaches companies used to associate their products with the war, the new colonies, and the "progress" and "civilization" of the world.

The first American aborigines met by Columbus not to be confounded with the Aroacas or Arhouaques, linguistically allied to the Chibohas of Columbia an Indian stock widely distributed over South America. Tribes speaking dialects of the Arawak language are met with in and between Indians of other linguistic stocks, from the sources of the Paraguay to the northwestern shores of Lake Maracaybo (Goajiros), from the eastern slopes of the Andes in Peru and Bolivia to the Atlantic coast in Guyana. The Arawaks were met by Columbus in 1492, on the Bahamas, and later on in Haiti, Cuba, Jamaica, and Puerto Rico. In the fifteenth century and possibly for several centuries previous, Indians of Arawak stock occupied the Greater Antilles. It is not impossible that up to a certain time before Columbus they may have held all the West Indian Islands. Then an intrusive Indian element, that of the Caribs, gradually encroached on the southern Antilles from the mainland of Venezuela and drove the Arawaks northward. The latter showed a decided fear of their aggressors, a feeling increased by the cannibalism of the Caribs. Generally speaking, the Arawaks are in a condition between savagery and agriculture, and the status varies according to the environment. The Arawaks on the Bahamas were practically defenseless against the Caribs. The aborigines of Cuba and Haiti, enjoying superior material advantages, stood on a somewhat higher plane. The inhabitants of Jamaica and Puerto Rico, immediate neighbors of the Caribs, were almost as fierce as the latter, and probably as anthropophagous. Wedged in (after the discovery of
