متن کاملGlaucoma as a Tax on Hominid Evolution. Constraints of the Experimental Animal Models of Glaucoma
Glaucoma continues to be a mysterious disease. High intraocular pressure (IOP), once the landmark of the disease, has been relegated to the humble role of risk factor, despite the fact that lowering IOP continues to be the only partially successful treatment. Even with an IOP successfully controlled to statistical standards, many patients still mysteriously continue to progressively lose neural...
متن کاملAnimal Models Of Liver Cirrhosis And Fibrosis
Animal modeling is a crucial necessity in clinical studies of liver diseases. Authenticity of the data which are produced using this tool under different conditions and accuracy of the analyses and assessments which would be based on such data sets is completely dependent on the adoption of a standardized methodology for analyzes and assessment of these data sets. Cirrhosis and Fibrosis are amo...
