We document in detail the morphology of adults of the beaver beetle Platypsyllus castoris with modern techniques, and interpret evolutionary changes linked with the specific life style of the beetle in the fur of the beaver. Platypsyllus displays numerous structural specializations which ensure mechanical stabilization, firm anchorage on the host, and ...

Non-contact, in-vivo, functional, and structural ophthalmic imaging using multimodal photoacoustic remote sensing (PARS) microscopy and optical coherence tomography (OCT) [PDF]
Early diagnosis of ocular diseases improves the understanding of pathophysiology and helps with accurate monitoring and effective treatment. Advanced multimodal ocular imaging platforms play a crucial role in the visualization of the ocular components and provide clinicians with a valuable tool for evaluating different eye diseases. Here, for the first

Quantitative optical coherence tomography reveals rod photoreceptor degeneration in early diabetic retinopathy [PDF]
Purpose: This study is to test the feasibility of optical coherence tomography (OCT) detection of photoreceptor abnormality and to verify the photoreceptor abnormality is rod predominated in early DR . Methods: OCT images were acquired from normal eyes, diabetic eyes with no diabetic retinopathy (NoDR) and mild DR.

Choroidal vasculature imaging with laser Doppler holography [PDF]
The choroid is a highly vascularized tissues supplying the retinal pigment epithelium and photoreceptors. Its implication in retinal diseases is gaining increasing interest. However, investigating the anatomy and flow of the choroid remains challenging.

Visual Impairment Secondary to Unilateral Isolated Epicapsular Star
We aimed to report a rarely observed case of unilateral epicapsular star and the visual impairment developed secondary to it. A 8-year-old girl presented with a complaint of blurred vision in the right eye; best-corrected visual acuity was 0.7 in the ...

Mass spectrometry in ocular drug research
Abstract Mass spectrometry (MS) has been proven as an excellent tool in ocular drug research allowing analyzes from small samples and low concentrations. This review begins with a short introduction to eye physiology and ocular pharmacokinetics and the relevance of advancing ophthalmic treatments.
