Abstract

To determine the relationship of the anatomic position of tissue surrounding the ciliary sulcus using ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) for measurement of ciliary sulcus parameters and the surrounding tissue after intracapsular cataract extraction (ICCE) and determine the correct suture site for intraocular lens (IOL) suture fixation. Sugiura Eye Clinic, Asahi General Hospital, Shizouka-ken, Japan. Prospective case series. Using UBM, the angle of the ciliary sulcus and several areas of the tissue surrounding the ciliary sulcus were measured from 8 orientations in eyes after ICCE. These measurements and endoscopic observation of the ciliary sulcus indicated the optimum points of needle insertion and needle emergence on the sclera for IOL suture fixation. Endoscopic observation of the ciliary sulcus also showed its shape. The shape of the surrounding tissue of the ciliary sulcus was measured in 16 eyes after ICCE, and endoscopy was used to observe the ciliary sulcus during surgery in 150 eyes. For ab interno ciliary sulcus suture fixation, the correct point of needle emergence on the sclera was 2.5 mm from the posterior surgical limbus when a straight needle was used. For ab externo pars plana suture fixation, the correct point of n...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
