Corneal alterations associated with pseudoexfoliation syndrome and glaucoma: A literature review [PDF]
, 2017 A systematic literature review was performed evaluating articles examining the effects of pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX) and glaucoma (PEXG) on the cornea with a focus on the corneal endothelium.

The elusive scleral cartilages: Comparative anatomy and development in teleosts and avians
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract The sclera of all vertebrate eyes is comprised of connective tissue, with some organisms developing cartilage within this tissue. A review of the cartilages that have been described in the vertebrate sclera and their anatomical relationships is discussed together with their potential homology.

A discrete-to-continuum model for the human cornea with application to keratoconus [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 We introduce a discrete mathematical model for the mechanical behaviour of a planar slice of human corneal tissue, in equilibrium under the action of physiological intraocular pressure (IOP). The model considers a regular (two-dimensional) network of structural elements mimicking a discrete number of parallel collagen lamellae connected by proteoglycan-

Keratoprostheses for corneal blindness: a review of contemporary devices [PDF]
, 2015 According to the World Health Organization, globally 4.9 million are blind due to corneal pathology. Corneal transplantation is successful and curative of the blindness for a majority of these cases. However, it is less successful in a number of diseases

Cataract surgery in patients with corneal disease
Current Opinion in Ophthalmology, 2013 Purpose of review Preexisting corneal disease can be exacerbated by cataract surgery and may prevent well tolerated cataract extraction. This article reviews the current literature and describes how corneal epithelial, stromal and endothelial disease may

Archiv der Pharmazie, Volume 355, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022 The 18F‐labeled derivative [18F]3 of senicapoc was synthesized using the prosthetic group approach with 1‐azido‐2‐[18F]fluoroethane ([18F]6) in a “click” reaction. The biological activity of the new positron emission tomography tracer was evaluated in vitro and in vivo.

Identification of histological threshold concepts in health sciences curricula: Students' perception
Anatomical Sciences Education, Volume 16, Issue 1, Page 171-182, January/February 2023., 2023 Abstract Students' metacognitive skills and perceptions are considered important variables for high‐quality learning. In this study, students' perceptions were used to identify histological threshold concepts (integrative, irreversible, transformative, and troublesome) in three health sciences curricula.

Keratoconus Classifier for Smartphone-based Corneal Topographer [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Keratoconus is a severe eye disease that leads to deformation of the cornea. It impacts people aged 10-25 years and is the leading cause of blindness in that demography. Corneal topography is the gold standard for keratoconus diagnosis. It is a non-invasive process performed using expensive and bulky medical devices called corneal topographers.
