Abstract

The Berger's space (BS) is a space located between the posterior capsule of the lens and the anterior hyaloid of the vitreous, structures that adhere in a circular manner by means of the Wieger ligament, for which the outer limit is defined by Egger's line. The aim of this article is to perform a review of the BS, as well as to present three cases in which this BS could be demonstrated by optical coherence tomography (OCT). A total of 90 patients from a general ophthalmology clinic were studied, on whom an anterior pole OCT was performed (Cirrus Lumera 700 Carl Zeiss Medicte, Dublin, California, United States). All patients were included consecutively, with an analysis being performed on the cornea, anterior chamber, iris, lens, and anterior vitreous, but excluding those in which the test could not be performed. The posterior lens capsule, the anterior hyaloid, and the BS between both structures were observed in three patients. This is the first time in the current literature that three cases have been described, together with their characteristics (one phakic -case 1- and two pseudophakic, one of them vitreous destructuring -case 2- and the other with opacification of the posterior capsule of the lens -case 3-), using this pre...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.
