Evaluating Blood Flow Speed in Retinal Microaneurysms Secondary to Diabetic Retinopathy Using Variable Interscan Time Analysis OCTA.

Purpose: To quantify the blood flow speed within retinal microaneurysms (MAs) and investigate the relationship between blood flow speed and clinical characteristics in eyes with diabetic retinopathy (DR).

Methods: Variable interscan time analysis (VISTA) quantifies blood flow speed in the vasculature by measuring how fast optical coherence tomography (OCT) angiography (OCTA) saturates for different interscan times. Macular OCTA imaging was performed in eyes with DR using a high-speed swept-source OCT prototype instrument operating at a 600-kHz A-scan rate.

Saccharomyces boulardii (CNCM I-745) ameliorates Ovalbumin-induced atopic dermatitis by modulating the NF-κB signaling in skin and colon.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a long-lasting allergic disorder characterized by itching, redness, swelling, dry skin, scaling, inflammation, and tissue damage. The exact cause of AD is still unknown. Steroid medications are frequently utilized in treating AD, but their prolonged use can result in complications.

Continuous Monitoring of Sulfur Dioxide Removal Using K-Band Molecular Rotational Resonance Spectroscopy.

Sulfur dioxide (SO), an air pollutant, poses significant threats to both public health and the environment. It is one of the six air pollutants regulated by the U.S.

Evaluation of toxic effects of benzophenone on histopathology of .

Benzophenone (BP) is an organic ultraviolet (UV) filter widely used in sunscreens and personal care products. This compound enters aquatic ecosystems due to industrialization, wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), and domestic effluents, poses serious threats to aquatic organisms, and is considered an emerging pollutant. This laboratory-based study assessed the 96-hour (h) median lethal concentrations (LC) and sub-lethal effects of BP on the histology of the gills and muscles of .
