Conjunctival Leiomyoma; a Rare Tumor of the Ocular Surface
PURPOSE To report a case of conjuctival leiomyoma. CASE REPORT An 18-year-old female patient presented with a conjunctival growth in the left eye for a 2-year-period with no change in size. She merely presented for cosmetic reasons. Visual acuity was 20/20 in each eye. The lesion had prominent vessels and was not adherent to the sclera. The growth resembled a benign lesion of the conjunctiva....
متن کاملEffect of tear hyperosmolarity and signs of clinical ocular surface pathology upon conjunctival goblet cell function in the human ocular surface.
PURPOSE To investigate the effect of tear hyperosmolarity and signs of clinical ocular surface pathology on conjunctival goblet cell population. METHODS 111 participants were assessed using tear osmolarity (TO) measurements and a comprehensive selection of clinical ophthalmic tests. The resultant clinical database was assessed for evidence of patterns of composite increasing pathology. The to...
متن کاملthe study of bright and surface discrete cavity solitons dynamics in saturable nonlinear media
امروزه سالیتون ها بعنوان امواج جایگزیده ای که تحت شرایط خاص بدون تغییر شکل در محیط منتشر می-شوند، زمینه مطالعات گسترده ای در حوزه اپتیک غیرخطی هستند. در این راستا توجه به پدیده پراش گسسته، که بعنوان عامل پهن شدگی باریکه نوری در آرایه ای از موجبرهای جفت شده، ظاهر می گردد، ضروری است، زیرا سالیتون های گسسته از خنثی شدن پراش گسسته در این سیستم ها بوسیله عوامل غیرخطی بوجود می آیند. گسستگی سیستم عامل...
Trafficking of Immune Cells in the Cornea and Ocular Surface
The role of immuno-inflammatory responses in the cornea and ocular surface has continuously been evolving over the past decades and has been becoming the center stage for therapeutic approaches for many diseases. In fact, the relevance of inflammation as a significant component in the pathophysiology of most acute and chronic forms of corneal and ocular surface diseases (e.g., microbial keratit...
متن کاملCortisol Biosynthesis in the Human Ocular Surface Innate Immune Response
Innate immune responses have a critical role in regulating sight-threatening ocular surface (OcS) inflammation. While glucocorticoids (GCs) are frequently used to limit tissue damage, the role of intracrine GC (cortisol) bioavailability via 11-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1) in OcS defense, remains unresolved. We found that primary human corneal epithelial cells (PHCEC), fib...
