Future Research Perspective on the Interfacial Physics of Non-Invasive Glaucoma Testing in Pathogen Transmission from the Eyes [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Non-contact Tonometry (NCT) is a non-invasive ophthalmologic technique to measure intraocular pressure (IOP) using an air puff for routine glaucoma testing. Although IOP measurement using NCT has been perfected over many years, various phenomenological aspects of interfacial physics, fluid structure interaction, waves on corneal surface, and pathogen ...

Bilateral Acanthamoeba keratitis [PDF]

, 2012
Acanthamoeba keratitis is a rare eye infection commonly misdiagnosed as herpes simplex or fungal keratitis. Failure to include it in the differential diagnosis in any contact lens wearer with the typical features of an eye infection, results in a ...

Two cases of fungal keratitis caused by Metarhizium anisopliae [PDF]

, 2018
We present two cases of keratitis due to Metarhizium anisopliae in geographically separated areas of the United States. The isolates were microscopically similar but morphologically different and were identified by ribosomal DNA sequencing. Both isolates

Isolation of Acanthamoeba Species and Bacterial Symbiont Variability in Puna Salt Plains, Argentina

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 1, February 2025.
Acanthamoeba isolated from the extreme environments of the Puna salt plains in Argentina contain unique intracellular microbial communities that are distinct from those found in the surrounding environments. The number of shared taxa amongst intracellular amoebae across all sites was greater than the number of shared taxa between the amoebae and their ...
