Background: It is known that pterygia above a certain size cause astigmatism and other aberrations of the human cornea thus impair quality vision. Exclusive Sr-/Ytt-90 beta irradiation highly effective treatment for primary pterygia. The aim this retrospective study to determine extent which higher order corneal are affected by treatment. Methods: Evaluation topographies wavefront aberration da...

The complex interplay between the response regulator ComA, the anti-activator RapF, and the signaling peptide PhrF controls competence development in Bacillus subtilis. More specifically, ComA drives the expression of genetic competence genes, while RapF inhibits the interaction of ComA with its target promoters. The signaling peptide PhrF accumulates at high cell density and upregulates geneti...

Coma blisters are lesions that occur in the setting of a variety of neurological diseases. Although most commonly associated with barbiturate overdose, they can be seen in the setting of coma due to other etiologies. Blisters develop 48-72 h after the onset of unconsciousness.
