Tear osmolarity changes after use of hydroxypropyl-guar-based lubricating eye drops

Clinical Ophthalmology, 2018
To evaluate tear osmolarity after using a hydroxypropyl-guar (HP-guar)-based lubricating eye drop four times daily (QID) for 3 weeks.Thirty-one participants with dry eye disease (Ocular Surface Disease Index [OSDI] score ≥20 and tear osmolarity ≥300 mOsm/L in at least one eye) were enrolled in this prospective, dispensing, non-randomized study ...

The use of a “horizontal centrifugation protocol” to prepare autologous platelet‐rich fibrin membranes for corneal reconstruction surgery in dogs with complicated corneal ulcerations: A case series

Veterinary Ophthalmology, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 175-189, March 2025.
Abstract Objective The purpose of this case series was to describe the effect of autologous PRF membrane for corneal reconstruction surgery in dogs. PRF membranes made from two healthy dogs unrelated to the current case series were used for PRF histologic analyses. Animals Seven dogs with complicated corneal ulcerations. Procedure A complete ophthalmic

Coronofrontal rhytidectomy: A new approach for the treatment of severe pseudoptosis and superior entropion in dogs

Veterinary Ophthalmology, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 403-412, March 2025.
Abstract Purpose To describe the use of coronofrontal rhytidectomy (CFR) for the treatment of severe pseudoptosis and superior entropion in dogs, and to provide guidelines for the selection of surgical technique depending on presentation. Methods A review of medical records of dogs that underwent rhytidectomy from 2002 to 2023 was carried out ...

Mitochondrial Ca2+ uniporter haploinsufficiency leads to sexually dimorphic redox imbalance and metabolic remodelling in the mouse brain

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The genetic inactivation of one Mcu allele leads to sex‐specific changes in neuronal function in adult mice, that is, the firing of action potentials and the relationship between cytosolic and mitochondrial Ca2+ levels. The ability to produce NAD(P)H by stimulated neural tissue is largely preserved in male mice but delayed in ...

Improving Welding Behavior of ETPU Bead Foams by Surface Modification with Plasticizers

Journal of Polymer Science, Volume 64, Issue 20, Page 4384-4393, 15 October 2026.
Tributyl citrate (TBC) and stearic acid (SA) modify ETPU beads through different diffusion mechanisms. TBC diffuses the bead structure directly after coating, whereas SA remains on the surface until melting and subsequent diffusion during heating. The resulting plasticization improves bead fusion, allowing RF processing at reduced temperature and ...

Structuring of gellan hydrogel enables the production of inherently antifibrotic, lubricating eye drops

Acta Biomaterialia
Gellan is an anionic polysaccharide that forms optically clear hydrogels, making it suitable for use in ocular applications. Previous research has demonstrated that gellan fluid gels, when used alongside standard treatments (antibiotics and corticosteroid eye drops), reduce corneal scarring in models of microbial keratitis.
