Trail Making Test performance contributes to subjective judgment of visual efficiency in older adults [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Introduction: The determinant factors that influence self-reported quality of vision have yet to be fully elucidated. This study evaluated a range of contextual information, established psychophysical tests, and in particular, a series of cognitive tests

Longitudinal changes in microperimetry and low luminance visual acuity in age-related macular degeneration.

open access: yesJAMA ophthalmology, 2015
IMPORTANCE There is a need for more sensitive measures of disease in intermediate age-related macular degeneration (AMD) to evaluate novel interventions more effectively and expediently. OBJECTIVE To determine if microperimetry and low luminance visual

Neutrophil deficiency increases T cell numbers at the site of tissue injury in mice

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In wild‐type mice, injury or acute inflammation induces neutrophil influx followed by macrophage accumulation. Mcl1ΔMyelo (neutrophil‐deficient) mice lack neutrophils, and in response to muscle injury show fewer macrophages and exhibit strikingly elevated T‐cell numbers, primarily non‐conventional “double‐negative” (DN) αβ and γδ T cells.

The effect of visual impairment on quality of life of children aged 3-16 years [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Background: It is well known that visual impairment (VI) has a detrimental effect on Quality of Life (QoL) in adults. Little is known about the effects of VI in childhood. Aims: To evaluate the effects of VI on QoL of children.

Ergothioneine supplementation improves pup phenotype and survival in a murine model of spinal muscular atrophy

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a genetic disease affecting motor neurons. Individuals with SMA experience mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of an antioxidant and neuroprotective substance, ergothioneine (ERGO), on an SMNΔ7 mouse model of SMA.

VISUAL OUTCOMES OF IMPLANTATION OF MULTIFOCAL INTRAOCULAR LENS WITH ASYMMETRICAL LIGHT DISTRIBUTION

open access: yesAlʹmanah 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.

Escape from TGF‐β‐induced senescence promotes aggressive hallmarks in epithelial hepatocellular carcinoma cells

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Chronic TGF‐β exposure drives epithelial HCC cells from a senescent state to a TGF‐β resistant mesenchymal phenotype. This transition is characterized by the loss of Smad3‐mediated signaling, escape from senescence, enhanced invasiveness and metastatic potential, and upregulation of key resistance modulators such as MARK1 and GRM8, ultimately promoting
