Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare ocular biometric measurements using SS-OCT and Scheimpflug tomography in cataract patients before surgery.
- A total of 212 eyes were analyzed, measuring various parameters like corneal thickness and keratometry with different devices, assessing their reliability and correlation.
- Results showed significant differences in most measurements among devices, indicating that results from IOLMaster700, CASIA2, and Pentacam are not interchangeable.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (HUC-MSCs) in treating patients with refractory uveitis.
- A total of four patients underwent intravenous HUC-MSC treatment, showing a significant reduction in annual uveitis attacks and allowing for a decrease in oral steroid use without flare-ups.
- Results indicated improvement in visual acuity for most patients, demonstrating HUC-MSCs as a promising therapy for maintaining remission in difficult-to-treat cases of uveitis.
In this study, a halotolerant strain was isolated from high salinity leachate and identified as Bacillus cereus NT-3. It can produce a high concentration of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) with no significant changes when NaCl concentration is up to 50 g/L. FTIR and NMR spectra of PHAs synthesized by Bacillus cereus NT-3 were similar to the standard or previous results.
