Lens opacity studies were performed using an electronic Lens Opacity Meter (Interzeag Opacity Lensmeter 701) in a population (n = 321) with ischaemic heart disease. These patients are participating in a trial targetting at the reduction of mortality and incidence of myocardial infarction using a
This article describes the clinical application of the 80-lens optical camera in the diagnosis of cerebral infarction, subdural hematoma, intracranial tumor, and hydrocephalus. The 80-lens camera is a simple noncomputerized addition to the Anger scintillation camera that permits an estimation of the
Many late-life diseases are conformational diseases in tissues where there are unfolded or misfolded proteins which can form aggregates. These diseases have other common features in their aetiology. Cataract is one such disease and post-translational modifications of proteins in the lens during
We encountered two clinically similar but genetically unrelated cases of a disorder characterized by an unusual white pupillary-iris-lens membrane with extension to a prominent Schwalbe's line, the membranes were vascularized and their appearance changed over time. In both cases the abnormality was
Optical based analysis in microfluidic and lab-on-a-chip systems are currently considered the gold standard methodology for the determination of end point reactions for various chemical and biological reaction processes. Typically, assays are performed using bulky ancillary apparatus such as
OBJECTIVE
To describe a case of macular infarction occurring after Enterococcus faecalis endophthalmitis in a patient who had undergone cataract surgery.
METHODS
A 74-year-old woman who underwent uneventful phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation developed E. faecalis endophthalmitis
The authors report a case of a patient who underwent cataract surgery with implantation of a posterior chamber intraocular lens and presented endophthalmitis on the second postoperative day. She was treated with intravitreal injection of amikacin, vancomycin and dexamethasone. After resolution of
OBJECTIVE
To determine the ophthalmologic findings, especially the nature of retinal vascular changes, and their clinical significance in cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL), a disease that causes migraine, recurrent strokes, and
Myocardial infarction (MI) leads to the loss of cardiomyocytes, left ventricle dilation and cardiac dysfunction, eventually developing into heart failure. Mzb1 (Marginal zone B and B1 cell specific protein 1) is a B-cell-specific and endoplasmic reticulum-localized protein. Mzb1 is an
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) causing ST depression and T wave inversion has been diagnosed as subendocardial or non-Q myocardial infarction. However, some patients eventually develop strictly posterior infarction with a lesion of the left circumflex coronary artery (LCX). This study attempted
Beta-adrenoceptor (β-AR) exerts critical regulation of cardiac function. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are potentially involved in a variety of biological and pathological processes. This study aimed to investigate the role of miRNA let-7e in the up-regulation of β(1) -AR and arrhythmogenesis in acute
Morphologic changes secondary to cryolathing and lyophilization have been described in tissue lenses used for epikeratophakia. We report the electron microscopic findings of an aphakic tissue lens which could not be used because of sudden preoperative myocardial infarction of the patient. Scanning
Exfoliation syndrome is an age-related disease characterized by the production and progressive accumulation of a fibrillar extracellular material in many ocular tissues. It leads to the most common identifiable cause of open-angle glaucoma worldwide, comprising the majority of glaucoma in some
Homocystinuria was diagnosed in 12 patients, aged 3-12 years. Myopia, ranged from -5.0 D to -20.0 D, and bilateral subluxation of lens were found in all children. In 8 eyes during follow-up luxation of lens was observed in 8 eyes, in 5 complicated by acute glaucoma. Surgical treatment, mostly pars
BACKGROUND
The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of microRNA (miRNA) let-7a in down-regulation of β1-adrenoceptors (β1-AR) and elucidate the underlying mechanism of chronic ischemia heart failure (CIHF) in rats.
RESULTS
CIHF model was established by occlusion of coronary artery
