Diagnostic Techniques to Increase the Safety of Phakic Intraocular Lenses
Preoperative and postoperative diagnostics play an important role in ensuring the safety of patients with phakic intraocular lenses (pIOLs). The risk of endothelial cell loss can be addressed by regularly measuring the endothelial cell density using ...

Effect of torsional versus longitudinal phacoemulsification on the corneal endothelium
Background/aim The present study aims to compare postoperative endothelial outcome after cataract surgery performed with longitudinal phacoemulsification with that performed with torsional phacoemulsification in patients with senile cataract.

Corneal Changes in Diabetic Patients after Manual Small Incision Cataract Surgery [PDF]
Background: Diabetics have abnormal corneal morphology along with higher rate of corneal endothelial cell loss and decreased corneal endothelial cell density and early onset of cataract. Aim: To evaluate the changes in corneal endothelium and corneal

Loss of CEACAM1 in endothelial cells causes hepatic fibrosis
Hepatocytic CEACAM1 plays a critical role in NASH pathogenesis, as bolstered by the development of insulin resistance, visceral obesity, steatohepatitis and fibrosis in mice with global Ceacam1 (Cc1) deletion. In contrast, VECadCre+Cc1fl/fl mice with endothelial loss of Cc1 manifested insulin sensitivity with no visceral obesity despite elevated NF-κB ...

Loss of ATP Diphosphohydrolase Activity with Endothelial Cell Activation [PDF]
Quiescent endothelial cells (EC) regulate blood flow and prevent intravascular thrombosis. This latter effect is mediated in a number of ways, including expression by EC of thrombomodulin and heparan sulfate, both of which are lost from the EC surface as part of the activation response to proinflammatory cytokines. Loss of these anticoagulant molecules

Vitamin D Attenuates Loss of Endothelial Biomarker Expression in Cardio-Endothelial Cells [PDF]
Vitamin D is associated with cardiovascular health through activating the vitamin D receptor that targets genes related to cardiovascular disease (CVD). The human cardiac microvascular endothelial cells (HCMECs) were used to develop mechanically and TGF-β1-induced fibrosis models, and the rat was used as the isoproterenol (ISO)-induced fibrosis model ...

Efficacy of manual small incision cataract surgery in preventing the endothelial cell loss
Background: Every year 5 million cataract surgeries are performed in India. Two major procedures are used to conduct cataract operations either MSICS/Phecoemulisfication. In both the procedures the loss of endothelial cells are observed.
