Purpose: To describe a case of interface fluid after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and review the literature on this rare complication after LASIK.
Methods: We present a case report and literature review. Articles for this review were chosen from electronic database and manual literature searches. MEDLINE searches were made from 1990 to April 2002, using the key words "interface fluid" and "LASIK."
Results: A 40-year-old man had uneventful LASIK for residual refractive error from previous penetrating keratoplasty in his right eye. Diffuse lamellar keratitis began 1 day postoperatively. Topical corticosteroids were administered. Six weeks after LASIK, a layer of interface fluid developed. Intraocular pressure was 9 mmHg when measured centrally by Goldmann applanation tonometry and 30 mmHg by Tono-pen tonometry. The interface fluid resolved with antiglaucoma agents and corticosteroids combined with cyclosporine.
Conclusions: This case, along with other reported cases, demonstrate the clinical features of interface fluid after LASIK.

The neuronal tau peptide serves as a key biomarker for neurodegenerative diseases, specifically, Alzheimer's disease, a condition that currently has no cure or definitive diagnosis. The methodology to noninvasively detect tau levels from body fluids remains a major hurdle for a rapid and simple diagnostic approach. Thus, developing new detection methods for sensing tau protein levels is crucial.

The engineering design and construction of active interfaces represents a promising approach amidst numerous initiatives aimed at augmenting catalytic activity. Herein, we present a novel approach to incorporate interconnected pores within bulk single crystals for the synthesis of macroscopic porous single-crystalline rutile titanium oxide (R-TiO). The porous single crystal (PSC) R-TiO couples a nanocrystalline framework as the solid phase with pores as the fluid phase within its structure, providing unique advantages in localized structure construction and in the field of catalysis.

Background: The advancement of nanotechnology underscores the imperative need for establishing in silico predictive models to assess safety, particularly in the context of chronic respiratory afflictions such as lung fibrosis, a pathogenic transformation that is irreversible. While the compilation of predictive descriptors is pivotal for in silico model development, key features specifically tailored for predicting lung fibrosis remain elusive. This study aimed to uncover the essential predictive descriptors governing nanoparticle-induced pulmonary fibrosis.

The present article deals with the modulation of oscillatory electroosmotic flow (EOF) and solute dispersion across a nanochannel filled with an electrolyte solution surrounded by a layer of a dielectric liquid. The dielectric permittivity of the liquid layer adjacent to supporting rigid walls is taken to be lower than that of the electrolyte solution. Besides, the aforesaid liquid layer may bear additional mobile charges, , free lipid molecules, charged surfactant molecules , which in turn lead to a nonzero charge along the liquid-liquid interface.

Fluid-silica interfaces are ubiquitous in chemistry, occurring in both natural geochemical environments and practical applications ranging from separations to catalysis. Simulations of these interfaces have been, and continue to be, a significant avenue for understanding their behavior. A constraining factor, however, is the availability of accurate force fields.
