Loss of amplitude of accommodation in pre-presbyopic HIV and AIDS patients under treatment with antiretrovirals

open access: yesAfrican Vision and Eye Health, 2017
Background: The prevalence of HIV and AIDS is causing an enormous public health burden. Its manifestations spare no organ. Ocular complications are mainly attributed to various opportunistic infections which are directly or indirectly caused by immune ...

An approach for coherent periodogram averaging of tilt‐series data for improved contrast transfer function estimation

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The contrast transfer function (CTF) is an imaging aberration that is a major resolution‐limiting factor in cryo‐electron microscopy (cryo‐EM). Precise CTF estimation is key to overcoming this limitation, but is particularly challenging in cryo‐electron tomography (cryo‐ET) data. Here, we present an approach for using geometric information to assist in

An ocular biomechanics environment for reinforcement learning [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
Reinforcement learning has been applied to human movement through physiologically-based biomechanical models to add insights into the neural control of these movements; it is also useful in the design of prosthetics and robotics. In this paper, we extend the use of reinforcement learning into controlling an ocular biomechanical system to perform ...

Pharmacological and physiological manipulation of ocular accommodation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The primary aim of this thesis was to investigate in-vivo changes to ocular morphology during ocular accommodation, with particular attention to ciliary muscle changes, using pharmacological agents and physiological stimuli. To determine the optimum target for accommodation studies, accommodative responses to different stimuli were investigated ...

Blue-blocking spectacles lenses for retinal damage protection and circadian rhythm: evaluation parameters [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2018
There is evidence for the effect of blue light on circadian cycle and ocular pathologies. Moreover, the introduction of LED lamps has increased the presence of blue light. In the last two years, many different blue blocking ophthalmic lenses have been introduced.

Proteomic analysis of the bovine and human ciliary zonule [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
PURPOSE: The zonule of Zinn (ciliary zonule) is a system of fibers that centers the crystalline lens on the optical axis of the eye. Mutations in zonule components underlie syndromic conditions associated with a broad range of ocular pathologies ...

Ocular Disease Classification Using CNN with Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Network [PDF]

open access: yesLecture Notes in Electrical Engineering, vol 1190. Springer, Singapore. 29 September 2024
The Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) has shown impressive performance in image classification because of its strong learning capabilities. However, it demands a substantial and balanced dataset for effective training. Otherwise, networks frequently exhibit over fitting and struggle to generalize to new examples.
