Cataract Vision Mimicked By Means Of Protein Denaturation In Egg Albumen [PDF]

arXiv, 2015
As the world's population ages, cataract-induced visual dysfunction and blindness is on the increase. This is a significant global problem. The most common symptoms of cataracts are glared and blurred vision. Usually, people with cataract have trouble seeing or reading at distance or in low light and also their color perception is altered. Furthermore,

Age-related changes of corneal endothelial cell in healthy Chinese tree shrew measured by non-contact specular microscope [PDF]

International Journal of Ophthalmology, 2017
AIM: To determine the impact of age on the morphology of endothelial cells and central corneal thickness (CCT) in Chinese tree shrew. METHODS: One-hundred and twenty eyes of 60 healthy Chinese tree shrews were studied. Based on age, the tree shrews were

Phenotype and surgical management of drug‐resistant epilepsy in patients with COL4A1 and COL4A2 variants

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To summarize the clinical features of collagen type IV alpha 1/2 chain (COL4A)1/2‐related epilepsy and the seizure outcomes of patients undergoing epilepsy surgery. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical, electroencephalography, and neuroimaging data; genetic characteristics; surgical details; and prognosis of 8 patients (4

Hierarchical method for cataract grading based on retinal images using improved Haar wavelet [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
Cataracts, which are lenticular opacities that may occur at different lens locations, are the leading cause of visual impairment worldwide. Accurate and timely diagnosis can improve the quality of life of cataract patients. In this paper, a feature extraction-based method for grading cataract severity using retinal images is proposed.

Lens ER-stress response during cataract development in Mip-mutant mice [PDF]

, 2016
Major intrinsic protein (MIP) is a functional water-channel (AQP0) that also plays a key role in establishing lens fiber cell architecture. Genetic variants of MIP have been associated with inherited and age-related forms of cataract; however, the ...

Cataract‐Causing Mutant R188C of βB2 Crystallin With Low Structural Stability is Sensitive to Environmental Stresses and Prone to Aggregates Formation

Exploration, EarlyView.
This study investigated the role of the βB2‐crystallin c.562C>T (p.R188C) mutation in congenital cataract. Clinical pedigree analysis, combined with whole‐exome sequencing (WES), identified this pathogenic variant. Bioinformatic analyses predicted destabilization of the mutant protein’s tertiary structure, potentially impairing its function.

An X-ray vision of cataract [PDF]

arXiv, 2005
This work reports the exploitation of diffraction enhanced X-ray imaging (DEI) for studying cataract in addition to the finding of heavy scattering centers of light, probably Ca-rich precipitates in cataractous lenses. DEI selectively probes diffuse-scattering, refraction, and absorption properties of features in the lenses. Fiber cell compaction areas

Age‐friendly interventions in rural and remote areas: A scoping review

Australasian Journal on Ageing, Volume 41, Issue 4, Page 490-500, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Objectives In 2007, the World Health Organization published a guide on age‐friendly cities. However, little is known about interventions that have been implemented to promote age‐friendly communities in rural and remote areas. This paper presents the findings from a scoping review undertaken to locate available evidence of interventions ...
