The assessment of contrast sensitivity and contrast reserve for reading rehabilitation

, 1994
Several visual diseases not only reduce visual acuity, they also may impair a client’s ability to detect lower contrast objects that are well above acuity threshold.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Circular RNA expression landscapes in myelodysplastic neoplasms: Associations with mutational signatures and disease progression

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
In this explorative study, the abundance of circular RNA molecules in bone marrow stem cells was found to be elevated in patients with high‐risk myelodysplastic neoplasms, and to be associated with an increased risk of progression to acute myeloid leukemia.

High and low contrast acuity and clinical contrast sensitivity tested in a normal population

, 1989
Visual acuities obtained with a high contrast Bailey-Lovie chart (HCBL) and a low contrast Bailey-Lovie chart (LCBL) were compared with clinical contrast sensitivity function (CSF) measurements in a group of normal subjects with a wide range of ...

Comparing Contrast-Modulated and Luminance-Modulated Masking: Effects of Spatial Frequency and Phase

, 2000
The masking of a sinusoidal test grating by contrast-modulated (CM) gratings could, in principle, be attributable to the presence of a distortion product, injected into the stimulus during some nonlinear transformation at an early level of visual ...

Alterations in center-surround contrast suppression in patients with major depressive disorder

Scientific Reports
Previous pattern electroretinogram studies indicate reduced retinal contrast gain in patients with a major depressive disorder (MDD) which may contribute to alterations in visual perception.

Contrast sensitivity study in patients with Anisometropia Amblyopia

Journal of the Egyptian Ophthalmological Society
Background Contrast sensitivity is the ability of the eye to detect small changes in illumination at targets that do not have clearly defined limits. Amblyopia is a disorder of sight in which the brain fails to process inputs from one eye and over time ...

Dimethyl fumarate combined with cisplatin at subcytotoxic doses sensitizes cervical cancer toward ferroptosis and apoptosis through GSH restriction and p53 (re)activation

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Dimethyl fumarate (DMF) reduces growth of HPV‐positive cervical cancer spheroids and induces ferroptosis in cervical cancer cells via blocking SLC7A11/Glutathione (GSH) axis. Combination of subcytotoxic doses of DMF and cisplatin (CDDP) further suppresses spheroid growth and drives cell death in 2D culture models.

Luminance and contrast adaptation of the inner retina [PDF]

, 2015
Adaptation is a common feature of sensory systems, matching neural activity to the range of inputs from the environment. In the visual system this is of great importance because visual stimulus can change across 9 orders of magnitude.
