Database of iris images acquired in the presence of ocular pathologies and assessment of iris recognition reliability for disease-affected eyes [PDF]
2015 IEEE 2nd International Conference on Cybernetics (CYBCONF),
Gdynia, 2015, pp. 495-500, 2018 This paper presents a database of iris images collected from disease affected eyes and an analysis related to the influence of ocular diseases on iris recognition reliability. For that purpose we have collected a database of iris images acquired for 91 different eyes during routine ophthalmology visits.

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.

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.
