A Case Report Illustrating the Postoperative Course of Descemetorhexis without Endothelial Keratoplasty with Topical Netarsudil Therapy

open access: yesCase Reports in Ophthalmological Medicine, 2019
Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is the most common indication for corneal transplantation in the United States. Recently, descemetorhexis without endothelial keratoplasty (DWEK) or Descemet’s stripping only (DSO) has become an attractive ...

Topology-based deep-learning segmentation method for deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) surgical guidance using M-mode OCT data [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty (DALK) is a partial-thickness corneal transplant procedure used to treat corneal stromal diseases. A crucial step in this procedure is the precise separation of the deep stroma from Descemet's membrane (DM) using the Big Bubble technique.

Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices of Intensive Care Nurses Regarding Eye Care

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Nursing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Care for patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) must support all body systems. However, ICU nurses often focus on life‐threatening conditions, giving less attention to other critical areas such as eye care. Objective This study aims to determine ICU nurses' knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding eye care.

Cx43-hemichannel function and regulation in physiology and pathophysiology: insights from the bovine corneal endothelial cell system and beyond [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Intercellular communication in primary bovine corneal endothelial cells (BCECs) is mainly driven by the release of extracellular ATP through Cx43 hemichannels.

Immunomodulation of salivary gland function due to cancer therapy

open access: yesOral Diseases, EarlyView.
Abstract Functional salivary glands (SG) are essential for maintaining oral health, and salivary dysfunction is a persistent major clinical challenge. Several cancer therapies also have off‐target effects leading to SG dysfunction. Recent advances highlight the role of SG immune populations in homeostasis, dysfunction and gland regeneration.

Phase 2 randomized, double-masked, vehicle-controlled trial of recombinant human nerve growth factor for neurotrophic keratitis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Purpose: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of topical recombinant human nerve growth factor (rhNGF) for treating moderate-to-severe neurotrophic keratitis (NK), a rare degenerative corneal disease resulting from impaired corneal innervation.

Reimagining partial thickness keratoplasty: An eye mountable robot for autonomous big bubble needle insertion [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Autonomous surgical robots have demonstrated significant potential to standardize surgical outcomes, driving innovations that enhance safety and consistency regardless of individual surgeon experience. Deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK), a partial thickness corneal transplant surgery aimed at replacing the anterior part of cornea above Descemet

Digital interferometric demodulation of Placido mires applied to corneal topography [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2012
This paper presents a novel digital interferometric method to demodulate Placido fringe patterns. This is a synchronous method which uses a computer-stored conic-wavefront as demodulating reference. Here we focus on the experimental aspects to phase-demodulate Placido mires applied to corneal topography.
