A fully human in vitro capsular bag model to permit intraocular lens evaluation

, 2012
Purpose. To establish a fully human in vitro culture model with which to test the putative effects of intraocular lens (IOL) designs in preventing posterior capsule opacification (PCO) after cataract surgery. Methods.

A glycoconjugate of Haemophilus influenzae Type b capsular polysaccharide with tetanus toxoid protein: hydrodynamic properties mainly influenced by the carbohydrate [PDF]

, 2016
Three important physical properties which may affect the performance of glycoconjugate vaccines against serious disease are molar mass (molecular weight), heterogeneity (polydispersity), and conformational flexibility in solution.

Cancer pain: current practice and emerging targets

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Cancer pain (CP) arises from a complex interplay between the tumour and its microenvironment. Many patients experience a mixed pain phenotype that encompasses nociceptive, neuropathic and neuroinflammatory mechanisms, and vary across tumour type and disease stage. Despite decades of intensive research, the mainstay of cancer pain treatment is still non‐

Premium Intraocular Lens Selection in Patients With Glaucoma: A Clinical Review

Clinical &Experimental Ophthalmology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glaucoma frequently coexists with cataract, but glaucomatous functional loss, ocular‐surface disease, anatomical abnormalities, and treatment‐related refractive variability may reduce tolerance of premium intraocular lenses. This narrative review critically appraises evidence relevant to lens selection in glaucoma. Central visual‐field status,

Scleral-fixated intraocular lens implantation techniques

Acta Medica Alanya, 2019
The ideal location of intraocular lens implantation is the posterior chamber. The capsular bag is left during the cataract operations in order to implant the intraocular lens in the position of the crystalline lens and the artificial lens is applied ...

Changes in gastrointestinal motility and gut hormone secretion after Roux‐en‐Y gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy for individuals with severe obesity

Clinical Obesity, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2025.
Summary Background Bariatric surgery is very effective in long‐term weight management. The present study was undertaken to investigate the short‐term effects of sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and of Roux‐en‐Y gastric bypass (RYGB) on (a) gastrointestinal (GI) motility, that is gastric emptying and oro‐cecal transit time and (b) secretion of regulatory gut ...

Dietary Soybean vs. Palm Oils Differ in Effects on Liver Fat in Adults With MAFLD: A 16‐Week, Double‐Masked, Randomized Controlled Trial

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Dietary linoleic acid (LA)‐rich oils reduce liver fat in healthy adults who are not otherwise undergoing weight loss strategies. Effects on the liver fat in adults with fatty liver disease are unknown. Objective The objective of this randomized double‐masked controlled trial was to compare the effects of a dietary soybean oil (SO ...
