Association Between Corneal Endothelial Cell Density and Topical Glaucoma Medication Use in an Eye Bank Donor Population.

Purpose: To evaluate the association between corneal endothelial cell density (ECD) and donor topical glaucoma medication use in an eye bank database.

Methods: Raw eye bank data included 19,159 donors over the period July 2007 to May 2015. Free-text, donor medication lists were retrospectively searched for glaucoma medication.

Analyses of Factors Affecting Endothelial Cell Density in an Eye Bank Corneal Donor Database.

Purpose: To analyze the factors affecting central corneal endothelial cell density (ECD) in an eye bank corneal donor database.

Methods: The Lion's Eye Institute corneal donor database consisting of 18,665 donors (34,234 corneas) aged 20 years or older was analyzed. In particular, differences in the ECD based on age, sex, race, prior ocular surgery, a history of systemic diseases, and smoking were investigated.

Direct Mapping of Charge Distribution during Lithiation of Ge Nanowires Using Off-Axis Electron Holography.

The successful operation of rechargeable batteries relies on reliable insertion/extraction of ions into/from the electrodes. The battery performance and the response of the electrodes to such ion insertion and extraction are directly related to the spatial distribution of the charge and its dynamic evolution. However, it remains unclear how charge is distributed in the electrodes during normal battery operation.
