Corneal Biomechanics in Ectatic Diseases: Refractive Surgery Implications. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Ectasia development occurs due to a chronic corneal biomechanical decompensation or weakness, resulting in stromal thinning and corneal protrusion. This leads to corneal steepening, increase in astigmatism, and irregularity.

Red-free light in applanation tonometry [PDF]
Editor,—Goldmann’s applanation tonometry is generally performed using cobalt blue filter and fluorescein in order to obtain accurate localisation of the apex of the tear meniscus.1 2 The peak transmission value of the cobalt blue filter BG12 on the Haag–Streit slit lamp 900 BM is 0.80 at 400 nm, whereas that of the red-free filter BG39 is 0.965 at 490 ...

Abstract Central arterial stiffening, particularly of the proximal aorta, is increasingly recognised as a pivotal contributor to cardiovascular disease, dementia, and mild cognitive impairment. Loss of Windkessel function amplifies pulsatile pressure, reduces diastolic perfusion and accelerates microvascular damage in the brain.

Abstract The aim of this study was to determine whether inflammatory and vascular responses to passive heating differ between the early follicular phase (EFP) and the mid‐luteal phase (MLP) of the menstrual cycle. Ten healthy, naturally menstruating females (26 ± 3 years of age; body mass index 21.4 ± 1.9 kg/m2) were assessed during EFP and MLP ...

Acute cardiovascular changes following heat exposure during simulated shipboard firefighting
Abstract Like structural firefighting, shipboard firefighting requires extreme exertion. However, shipboard firefighting may be a unique cardiovascular stress as most sailors lack extensive firefighting experience and may complete significant work before reaching the fire scene.

Abstract Advanced age is the strongest risk factor for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRDs). Traumatic brain injury (TBI) has also been recognized as a risk factor for ADRD, potentially contributing to an earlier onset of the disease. Thus, elucidating the mechanisms underlying brain ageing and TBI is critical for developing strategies to ...

Comparison of IOPen rebound tonometer with Goldmann applanation tonometer at different IOP levels [PDF]
AIM:To compare the accuracy of IOPen rebound tonometer with Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT) in individuals with low, normal and high intraocular pressure (IOP) and to evaluate the effect of central corneal thickness (CCT) on IOP measurements.METHODS:
