Ascorbic acid 2‐glucoside improves survival, quality, and fertility of frozen‐thawed C57Bl/6J and C57Bl/6N mouse spermatozoa

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Ascorbic acid 2‐glucoside (AA2G) is a stabilized form of ascorbic acid and a potent antioxidant. Ascorbic acid is present in the testes and epididymis and helps maintain the physiological integrity of reproductive organs. Its properties have been utilized to protect spermatozoa of different species from oxidative stress.

Evaporation-driven tear film thinning and breakup in two space dimensions [PDF]

arXiv
Evaporation profiles have a strong effect on tear film thinning and breakup (TBU), a key factor in dry eye disease (DED). In experiments, TBU is typically seen to occur in patterns that locally can be circular (spot), linear (streak), or intermediate .

Preservatives in artificial tears: Assessing impact on dry eye symptoms

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To examine the association between the presence of dry eye disease (DED) symptoms when using BAK‐preserved artificial tears (AT) compared to preservative‐free AT. Methods In this cross‐sectional study, we used data collected as part of Project ‘Finding Ophthalmic Risk and Evaluating the Value of Eye exams and their predictive ...

Membrane tubes with active pumping: water transport, vacuole formation and osmoregulation [PDF]

arXiv
The need for organisms to regulate their volume and osmolarity when surrounded by freshwater is a basic physical challenge for many bacteria, protists and algae. Taking inspiration from the contractile vacuole complex found in many protists, we discuss how simple models of active membrane tubes can give insights into the fluid and active ionic ...

The role of red blood cell characteristics and viscosity in sickle cell retinopathy and maculopathy

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
Sickle cell retinopathy and maculopathy are common ocular complications of sickle cell disease. This study assessed the contribution of red blood cell characteristics and blood viscosity to their development. HbSC patients with proliferative retinopathy showed a lower delta elongation index and point of sickling, while no link was found between whole ...

Patient Participation in Urine Specific Gravity Screening for Arginine Vasopressin Deficiency in an Inpatient Neurosurgical Clinic

Clinical Endocrinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Detecting hypotonic urine (specific gravity < 1005 g/L) is crucial for the early identification of arginine vasopressin deficiency (AVP‐deficiency), a common complication after pituitary surgery. This study aimed to evaluate the agreement between urine specific gravity measurements taken by patients using urine test strips and those ...
