Abstract

To evaluate the short-term effect of fixed combination of brinzolamide 1% and timolol 0.5% (FCBT) application on human central corneal thickness (CCT). This prospective clinical study included 97 patients having Nd:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy for posterior capsule opacification. Patients were randomized to receive apraclonidine hydrochloride 0.5% (APRA) (n=48) or FCBT (n=49) at 1 h before laser surgery. The baseline CCT was evaluated by ultrasonographic pachymetry from the central region ∼1 h before the laser procedure. CCT measurements were applied just before the laser application and then the first, second, and third hour, and the first, third, and seventh day after the Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy. There was no statistically significant difference between the baseline intraocular pressures, CCTs, and demographic and clinical data (age, sex, surgery laser interval, total laser energy) of the APRA and the FCBT groups. The mean CCT values of the APRA group at the first, second, and third hour, and the first, third, and seventh day were 553.8±28.0, 551.4±35.3, 556.8±28.7, 552.6±27.5, 548.2±26.2, and 546.2±25.5 μm, respectively. The mean CCT values of the FCBT group at the first, second, and third hour, and the first, third, and...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.
