Published: December 2006

AI Article Synopsis

  • Be alert for signs of angle closure glaucoma if a patient has symptoms like headaches, blurred vision, or a red eye.
  • These symptoms may indicate increased pressure in the eye, which can lead to serious complications.
  • Early recognition and treatment are crucial to prevent vision loss in affected patients.

Construction of Loop Polyzwitterion Brushes on PET Sheets via the Chain-End Closure Strategy To Improve Antifouling and Hemocompatible Properties.

Langmuir

January 2025

Jiangsu Collaborative Innovation Center of Biomedical Functional Materials, Jiangsu Key Laboratory of Bio-functional Materials, Department of Materials Science and Engineering, School of Chemistry and Materials Science, Nanjing Normal University, Nanjing 210023, P. R. China.

Steric stabilization and lubrication give loop polymer brushes enhanced antifouling properties. In the study, linear zwitterionic poly(NMASMCMS) brushes were first constructed on a poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) surface through surface-initiated reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer (SI-RAFT) polymerization. The tethered linear brushes on sheets were then thiolated with ethanolamine, followed by oxidation to form loop brushes.

Ophthalmic Pathology Laboratory, L V Prasad Eye Institute, Kallam Anji Reddy Campus, 500034, Hyderabad, India.

To examine ultrastructural changes in the trabecular meshwork (TM) in patients with primary and secondary glaucoma using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). This was a qualitative descriptive hospital-based study on the ultrastructure of the TM. Pure TM samples were collected after microincisional trabeculectomy from 26 patients with primary or secondary glaucoma and 10 control samples from eye bank donor corneas.

Background: Studies have revealed abnormalities of the epiphyseal plate of the distal femur in patients with trochlear dysplasia, but it is unclear whether the epiphyseal plate could be remodeled after surgical correction of patellar dislocation.

Purpose: To investigate whether the morphology of the epiphyseal plate and trochlea could be improved after medial patellar retinaculum plasty in skeletally immature patients and to investigate the correlations between the morphology of the epiphyseal plate and trochlear dysplasia as well as clinical outcomes.

Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3.
