To describe the clinical outcomes of Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) in a series patients affected by progressive cell loss leading to corneal decompensation with membrane (DM) breaks caused obstetrical forceps trauma.Seven amblyopic eyes 7 unilateral visual due increasing edema were included study. In all eyes, slit-lamp examination revealed typical DM and diffuse edema: these findings compatible history forceps-assisted delivery. DSAEK was performed cases (in...
Aims To evaluate deep corneal densitometry and visual outcomes after big-bubble (BB-DALK) visco-bubble (VB-DALK) anterior lamellar keratoplasty performed in patients with keratoconus. Methods Prospective comparative study of 50 advanced keratoconic who underwent DALK surgery; 25 eyes (group I) were completed BB-DALK II) VB-DALK the failure pneumatic dissection. Best spectacle-corrected acuity (BSCVA), tomographic parameters endothelial cell count recorded 1, 3, 6, 12 24 months surgery....
Background: In recent decades, the use of pesticides in agriculture has increased at a fast pace, highlighting safety problems for environment and human health, which turn made it necessary to develop new detection decontamination systems pesticides. Methods: A qualitative test capable detecting presence on fruits vegetables by using thermostable enzymes was discovered, carried out apples aubergines. The contaminating were extracted from with acetonitrile analyzed biosensor system based...
Aim To report the outcomes of bubble formation obtained by means intrastromal injection ophthalmic viscoelastic device (OVD) after failure pneumatic dissection for deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK). Methods DALK was performed in 140 keratoconic eyes 130 patients injecting air and OVD only secondarily, had failed; rates were recorded; complications, best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA) corneal tomographic parameters evaluated 3 months, 6 months 12 postoperatively, as well...
Abstract Pesticides and warfare nerve agents are frequently organophosphates (OPs) or related compounds. Their acute toxicity highlighted more than ever the need to explore applicable strategies for sensing, decontamination and/or detoxification of these Herein, we report use two different thermostable enzyme families capable detect inactivate OPs. In particular, mutants carboxylesterase-2 from Alicyclobacillus acidocaldarius phosphotriesterase-like lactonases Sulfolobus solfataricus , have...
During cheese ripening the hydrolytic activities of proteases and lipases are essential to develop typical flavours; usually these come from lactic bacteria. A way increase flavour and/or reduce time is addition exogenous enzymes during making. Actually some commercial used in making, here we have evaluated effect thermophilic esterase EST2, Alyciclobacillus acidocaldarius, on lipolysis volatile compounds profiles semi-hard cheeses. The EST2 produced an degree up 30% relative proportion...
Abstract The membrane transport apparatus comprises a series of separate bound compartments, or stations, that are responsible for the synthesis, processing, transport, sorting and delivery to their final cellular destinations most transmembrane soluble lumenal proteins. Over last decades system has been shown be extensively regulated both by environmental inputs internal homeostatic signalling systems, control operate maintain homeostasis optimal functionality main such as endoplasmic...
A novel treatment for posterior blepharitis which involves the use of disposable wet wipes imbibed with a solution terpinen-4-ol and hyaluronic acid (Hy-Ter®) as well aloe, natural anti-inflammatories antiseptics (Blephapad Combo; Novelty Technology Care, Milan, Italy) has been proposed. The aim this study was to compare efficacy safety Blephapad Combo standard treatment.We conducted 4-week, open-label, randomized controlled closed sequential design at Magna Graecia University Catanzaro,...
Purpose To evaluate the outcomes of deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) followed by phacoemulsification and toric intraocular lens (IOL) implantation for treatment concomitant stromal disease cataract. Methods In this retrospective non-comparative interventional case series, ten eyes affected cataract underwent DALK with IOL after a minimum period 5 months from complete suture removal. each case, topographic astigmatism, refraction, visual acuity, endothelial cell density were...
