By solving equations that result from the application of basic newtonian physical principles, I developed a model that can predict the profile of the iris by using only the pupil radius, the iris root radius, and the anterior displacement of the pupil from the iris root. The model requires some theoretically and clinically reasonable assumptions regarding the relative importance of forces acting on the iris. Former analyses made false assumptions about contact between the lens and the iris, as well as inappropriate substitution of the physical concept of force for tension. The validity of the new model and its inherent assumptions can now be tested with biometric measurements made in normal eyes and eyes with shallow anterior chambers.

Plants play a key role in the ecological restoration of urban wetlands. Previous studies have shown that heavy-metal accumulation capacities and adaptation strategies of wetland plants may be related to their life forms. In this study, pot experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of nitrogen (N) on the adaptation strategies of two evergreen and deciduous aquatic iris life forms under cadmium (Cd) stress.

Natural based solutions, notably constructed/artificial wetland treatment systems, rely heavily on identification and use of macrophytes with the ability to tolerate multiple contaminants and grow for an extended period to reduce contamination. The potential to tolerate and remediate metal(loid) contaminated groundwater from an industrial site located in Flanders (Belgium) was assessed for 10 wetland macrophytes (including Carex riparia Curtis, Cyperus longus Baker, Cyperus rotundus L., Iris pseudacorus L.

Fibroblast activating protein (FAP) is a cell surface marker of cancer-associated fibroblasts with a distinct pro-tumorigenic role. The present study analyzed the pan-cancer expression; and clinical and mutational profiles of the FAP coding gene. Molecular dynamics simulation (MDS) deciphered the backbone dynamics and energetics of FAP.

This case report is novel as it demonstrates the successful management of iridodialysis using an extended depth of focus intraocular lens in a patient with a slightly irregular pupil.

The mutualistic symbiotic system formed by clumping arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and plants can remediate heavy metal-contaminated soils. However, the specific mechanisms underlying the interaction between AMF and inter-root microbial communities, particularly their impact on organic phosphorus (P) cycling, remain unclear. This study investigated the gene regulation processes involved in inter-root soil phosphorus cycling in wetland plants, specifically Iris tectorum, following inoculation with AMF under varying concentrations of chromium (Cr) stress.
