Comparative study of under-expressed prognostic biomarkers and pivotal signaling pathways in colon cancer and ulcerative colitis using integrated bioinformatics approach [PDF]
Colon cancer is a prevalent gastrointestinal malignancy arising in the colon. Ulcerative colitis(UC) is one of the risk factors of colorectal cancer. The detection of under-expressed biomarkers and molecular mechanisms in UC and colon cancer can lead to effective management of colitis-associated cancer. A total of two mRNA expression datasets (GSE87473

Corneal Pachymetry by AS-OCT after Descemet's Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty [PDF]
Corneal thickness (pachymetry) maps can be used to monitor restoration of corneal endothelial function, for example after Descemet's membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK). Automated delineation of the corneal interfaces in anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) can be challenging for corneas that are irregularly shaped due to ...

Assessment of Biomechanical Properties for Corneal Post Refractive Surgery [PDF]
A stable shape for corneas experiencing refractive surgery has to be sustained so as to elude post-refractive surgery de-compensation. This de-compensation leads to visual complications and unsatisfactory procedure recovery. Variation in corneal lamellae and collagen fibres is induced by recent LASER refractive surgical procedures utilizing LASER ...
