Improved detection of air-filled lesions using computed tomography in dogs with recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax through reduction of pulmonary atelectasis via positive pressure ventilation

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
IntroductionSpontaneous pneumothorax in dogs is predominantly caused by the rupture of air-filled lesions, such as bullae or blebs. The efficacy of Computed Tomography (CT) in detecting these lesions has been deemed limited due to its reportedly low ...

Appraisal of Bleb Using Trio of Intraocular Pressure, Morphology on Slit Lamp, and Gonioscopy

Ophthalmology and Eye Diseases, 2016
Purpose The aim of this study was to assess bleb function using Wuerzburg bleb classification score (WBCS) for bleb morphology on slit lamp, intraocular pressure (IOP), and gonioscopy.

Bleb-driven chemotaxis of Dictyostelium cells [PDF]

, 2014
Blebs and F-actin-driven pseudopods are alternative ways of extending the leading edge of migrating cells. We show that Dictyostelium cells switch from using predominantly pseudopods to blebs when migrating under agarose overlays of increasing stiffness.

Voltage-gated channel mechanosensitivity: Fact or Friction?

Frontiers in Physiology, 2011
The heart is a continually active pulsatile fluid pump that generates forces by precisely timed and spaced engagement of contractile nano-machinery. This pump largely generates its own control signals, the most crucial of which involve precisely timed ...

Multi-scale interaction of flow and the artery wall [PDF]

, 2009
We discuss, from the perspective of basic science, the physical and biological processes which underlie atherosclerotic (plaque) initiation at the vascular endothelium, identifying their widely separated spatial and temporal scales which participate.

Computer Simulation of Cytoskeleton-Induced Blebbing in Lipid Membranes

, 2011
Blebs are balloon-shaped membrane protrusions that form during many physiological processes. Using computer simulation of a particle-based model for self-assembled lipid bilayers coupled to an elastic meshwork, we investigated the phase behavior and ...

Losartan Attenuates Scar Formation in Filtering Bleb After Trabeculectomy.

Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science, 2017
Purpose To examine the effects of losartan on scar formation after trabeculectomy and on fibrotic changes of human Tenon's fibroblasts (HTFs). Methods Trabeculectomy was performed on New Zealand rabbits.

Early cystic bleb needling revision after glaucoma filtering surgery with toxic keratopathy

Oftalʹmologiâ, 2015
Clinical case of high thin-wall cystic limited filtering bleb needling revision in the early post-op period after trabeculectomy with sinusotomy accompanied by toxic keratopathy is presented. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) demonstrated that filtering

Response to Oral Dapsone in a Patient With Generalised Junctional Epidermolysis Bullosa

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Dapsone is a potent antibacterial agent used as a first‐line treatment for leprosy and employed also as an anti‐inflammatory agent. Additionally, dapsone is used for a variety of other cutaneous conditions. Herein, we report a case of intermediate junctional epidermolysis bullosa that improved significantly with oral 4,4’‐diamino‐diphenyl ...
