This study assessed the potential adverse health effects of long-term low-dose exposure to chemical mixtures simulating complex real-life human exposures. Four groups of Sprague Dawley rats were administered mixtures containing carbaryl, dimethoate, glyphosate, methomyl, methyl parathion, triadimefon, aspartame, sodium benzoate, calcium disodium ethylene diamine tetra-acetate, ethylparaben, butylparaben, bisphenol A, and acacia gum at doses of 0, 0.25, 1 or 5 times the respective Toxicological Reference Values (TRV): acceptable daily intake (ADI) or tolerable daily intake (TDI) in a 24 weeks toxicity study.

A 75-year-old male presented himself at the Ophthalmology Department of the Emergency County Hospital in Craiova in January 2015, with a 4 months history of vision loss. In his right eye the visual acuity was 4/50 eye non-optical correctable and 5/5 with optical correction in the left eye.

The sclerocorneal limbus represents the passage zone between cornea and sclera, and its importance for medical practice, consists on the implications of this area in the ocular physiology. We have demonstrated in this study that the two structures are not interrupted briefly; the corneal epithelium at the limbus send in the deeper structure a ramification which represents a modality of stronger anchorage of subjacent conjunctiva.

We have initiated a comparative study between normal eye and ocular globes preserved from patients with diabetic retinopathy in different stages of evolution that were fixed and stained by classic histological techniques. We have focus on the histopathological examinations on arterial and venous morphology, in different retinal areas (central and peripheral).
