Unlabelled: The introduction of bidirectional corneal applanation technologies into clinical practice made possible the in vivo assessment of biomechanical properties of the fibrous tunic in myopic eyes.
Purpose: This study analyzes the potential of bidirectional corneal applanation with high-speed video recording for biomechanical control of myopia, focusing on the biomechanical parameters of the sclera and cornea.
Material And Methods: The study included 129 patients (168 eyes) with myopia ranging from -0.
Article Synopsis
- The study explores how comprehenders resolve filler-gap dependencies in incremental processing, focusing on the Norwegian language and examining why gap-filling is often paused in certain contexts.
- Results from a self-paced reading study reveal that Norwegian participants show filled-gap effects in embedded questions, supporting grammar-based explanations over processing-based ones, indicating that such questions are not considered grammatical islands in Norwegian.
- Additionally, the research investigates whether the concept of active filler-gap processing aligns with probabilistic ambiguity resolution and finds that while surprisal values can predict the location of filled-gap effects, they fail to accurately measure their magnitude, suggesting the need for further mechanisms or improved models of human expectation in processing.
The article presents results obtained on several types of model cultures. Primary cultures of corneal epithelial cells and fibroblast-like cells from the limbus were obtained from the tissues of the anterior eye segment. Tests were performed on these cultures to determine the cytotoxicity of antiglaucoma drugs and to trial a protection method.

Difficulties in identifying such forms of corneal dystrophies, on the one hand, are associated with limitation and polymorphism of the clinical picture, and, on the other hand, with insufficient information content of the basic diagnostic methods (i.e.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFFunctional status and biological properties of connective tissues significantly depend on the mineral elements involved in their metabolism. Connective tissue portion of the corneal stroma makes up most of its thickness; pathological changes in collagen fibers and the stroma can cause a range of corneal diseases, some of which are specifically associated with disorders of mineral metabolism. The article considers impairments of mineral metabolism as possible pathophysiological mechanisms in certain diseases and disorders of the cornea, and describes in detail the abnormalities associated with mineral dysmetabolism observed in patients with keratoconus.
