FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Encapsulins are protein nanocompartments that play an important role in iron storage. In the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin system, two cargo proteins called EncB and EncC contribute to iron mineralization. Here, we show that EncB and EncC generate iron‐containing minerals with distinct chemical compositions, suggesting that the composition of stored ...

Estimating Visual Acuity Without a Visual Acuity Chart
Translational Vision Science & TechnologyThis study explored whether visual acuity (VA) can be inferred from self-reported ability to recognize everyday objects using a set of yes/no questions.Participants answered 100 yes/no questions designed to assess their ability to recognize familiar objects at typical viewing distances, such as distinguishing between a full moon and a half moon on a ...

VISUAL OUTCOMES OF IMPLANTATION OF MULTIFOCAL INTRAOCULAR LENS WITH ASYMMETRICAL LIGHT DISTRIBUTION
Alʹmanah Kliničeskoj Mediciny, 2016 Background: The results of implantation of refractive intraocular lenses (IOL), especially with an inferior segmental near add are of great interest due to advantages of the new lenses over more frequently used diffractive multifocal IOL.

Investigative Opthalmology & Visual Science, 2018 Dry eye (DE) causes irregularity of the ocular surface and reduces the quality of vision. An intact, regular tear film is essential for high-quality retinal images; however, visual tasks requiring sustained gazing can disrupt the tear film, eventually degrading visual function.
