Serous PED shows fluorescence that starts in the early phase and increases uniformly in intensity in the subsequent phases. The borders of the lesion are well-demarcated with no leakage. The fluorescein dye pools in the sub-RPE space and causes this pattern of fluorescence. Cases of serous PED may show a notch in a few instances. These cases have an underlying CNVM.[44]
Two types of FFA patterns are seen in the acute stages of the disease. Multiple pinpoint hyperfluorescent leaks or multiple hypofluorescent spots in the early phase of the FFA may be seen.[81] The cases with pinpoint leaks[82] in the early phase show dye pooling in the subretinal space in the later phases. The cases with hypofluorescent spots in the early stages show staining of these spots in the late phases, similar to APMPPE.[64] The initial hypofluorescence may be due to blocked fluorescence by Dalen-Fuchs nodules or hypoperfusion of the choriocapillaris.
At the conclusion of what became a 17-year-long campaign of attrition requiring 34 regiments of the Astra Militarum to re-take the planet for the Emperor of Mankind in 830.M41, 14 million Imperial Guardsmen had been lost and Vraks Prime's entire original population of 8 million souls had been consumed in the violence or exterminated after they fell to Chaos corruption. The world was then declared dead and Perdita by the Imperium and placed under an interdiction to cordon it off from the rest of human space as ordered by the Ordo Malleus' Inquisitor Lord Hector Rex.
Xaphan conducted his grand tour of his new diocese, for he wished to see the places he must now rule, and he wished to bring a spiritual revival to the people. Where he and his entourage passed, he amassed ever more followers in a series of religious uprisings. Criminal governments and oppressive tyrannies were shattered with each world he traveled to. From world to world his small entourage grew into a small army. The Cardinal's arrival had been like a spark that ignited the fires of faith across the Scarus Sector. Some extremists were even calling him a messiah. Amongst all this fanatical devotion Cardinal Xaphan saw, perhaps for the first time, the true power that came with his esteemed rank. Out in the frontiers of space, he felt that he could take real action against the doubters and Heretics that threatened the Emperor's divine rule.
Rear-Admiral Mahzur's single-handed (but vain) attempt to ram the enemy battleship was the stuff from which Imperial Navy legends were made. It was a heroic but ultimately futile act that cost Battlefleet Scarus a good Gothic-class cruiser and the Rear-Admiral and his crew their lives. The battle had turned the immediate area of space around Vraks into a graveyard of burned out hulks. Debris from vessels and the abandoned hulks of eleven Imperial Navy ships now littered the area. The butcher's bill had been a costly one; one of the largest capitol ships, four Sword-class frigates, two defence monitors and the heavy freighter Izra Mors. The three freighter converted into fire ships had also been lost. Added to the losses was the damage to just about every other vessel. The Lord Bellerophon had survived, but barely and would need years to be re-fitted and made ready for duty again. Likewise the Orion was heavily damaged. Only the Covenanter had survived with slight damage, fit to continue her duties.
Vraks itself was not particularly well- suited to large scale military mining operations. Its natural geology meant that shallow tunnels could be dug at great speed as in its upper layers the ancient volcanic pumices were soft and highly porous. Although good for digging surface trenches, for miners the rock was just too soft and unstable. It would be impossible for a tunnel to remain secure and each would soon collapse in on itself. Secondly, the rapid drainage of surface water made it very damp. Tunnels would become running streams in no time, and never have a chance to dry out before another heavy rain storm filled it with water again. The absorption of large amounts of water in a short space of time created a severe problem as it led to expansion of tunnel walls and roofs, placing unpredictable pressures on any supports or roof bracings. It would be like tunnelling through heavy, waterlogged sand - an impossibility.
Despite the enemy factions entrenched against him, Inquisitor Rex also knew that the conclave would have to act. Failure to do so against the threat of daemonic incursion on Vraks could have terrible consequences, not just in defeat for the Imperial Guard forces but the surrounding systems would be next. Perhaps Vraks might become a Daemon World, where the barriers between the Warp and realspace have been broken down completely, and daemons roam at will. Defeat would mean that the Chaos gods would have gained a foothold m the Scarus sector and more attacks and raids would then follow, perhaps becoming a Black Crusade. Who knew how many worlds would be lost and how many souls would be damned to the service of the dark powers before an incursion was halted?
On time, Colonel Tyborc issued the order of attack, and seconds later each Gorgon's engine revved into life, tracks slowly grinding into the earth as the inched towards, each lumbering carrier gathering speed slowly, men jostling inside, shoulder to shoulder in the packed holes. It had begun, and each company now had its part to play. The wheels of war were turning, and now Colonel Tyborc must now let them run their course. Behind the Gorgons followed more infantry on foot, still in ordered lines, each squad evenly spaced from the next, Leman Russ followed crews riding out of their turrets to better pick a route forwards. Soon yellow tongues of flame would adding the battle cannon shells to the bombardment ahead. The field artillery followed amidst more infantry companies, Centaur earners bouncing across the track-churned ground. Then came grenadiers, some in carriers, other walking, all slouched under weight of their heavy armour and hellguns. The entire regiment was on the move. Only the big artillery guns remained in place, the Earthshakers and Medusa siege guns, and soon they would also be firing. Colonel Tyborc had committed everything he had, with only three infantry companies and the Death Riders as his reserve, and these too would be committed if it seemed a breakthrough might come. It was all or nothing. Victory or destruction.
I have a stand up freezer. I just defrosted it because there was a lot of frost build up on the second shelf but all other shelves are warm. The evaporator coli is integral with the shelving, I plugged it back in and it it has been about 30 minutes and only the same location where the frost had built up is getting cold enough to freeze the moisture in the space of the freezer. The rest of the coil is warm or should I say not cold enough to freeze the residual moisture left over from the defrost I just did.The section that is freezing had a small tube coming out the end which appears to go back to the compressor. I think this portion is at the end of the line but not sure. Do I have the situation where the R134A has leaked. I have one spot near the compressor which is underneath he freezer where there was some green powder residue collected on the tube. This looks like to location where the compressor was soddered to the coil. This is not in the freezer compartment but next to the compressor underneath the freezer. Is this an indication of where maybe the R134A has leaked? Perhaps I have a totally different problem. We bought the freezer new 10 years ago. Should I just go buy a new one?.
