Correlation between Tear Osmolarity and Tear Meniscus [PDF]
To examine the relationship between tear meniscus height (TMH) and subjective meniscus grading (subjective tear meniscus [TM]) with tear osmolarity.Tear osmolarity measurements (using TearLab) and digital images of the TM were obtained in 177 consecutive patients undergoing an eye examination at our optometry clinic (Universidad de Santiago de ...

Social context prevents heat hormetic effects against mutagens during fish development
This study shows that sublethal heat stress protects fish embryos against ultraviolet radiation, a concept known as ‘hormesis’. However, chemical stress transmission between fish embryos negates this protective effect. By providing evidence for the mechanistic molecular basis of heat stress hormesis and interindividual stress communication, this study ...
