BACKGROUND Glaucoma is classified as a neurodegenerative disease. However, the biomarkers of neurodegeneration in the aqueous humour of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) eyes have not been quantitatively examined yet. In this study, levels of neurodegeneration-related cytokines in the aqueous humour of POAG eyes were measured and compared with those of non-glaucoma (senile cataract) control ey...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PXF) was recently found to be associated with increased expression of transforming growth factor beta(1) (TGFbeta(1)) in the aqueous humour. As concern has been raised regarding anti-TGFbeta therapy, which can potentially disrupt the maintenance of anterior chamber associated immune deviation, the authors explored the levels of tissue inhibitor of mat...

THE effect of hyaluronidase injections on the slit-lamp appearance and the composition of the vitreous humour of the rabbit has been examinfed. The purpose of the experiments has been to see whether disaggregation of hyaluronic acid from a viscous to a non-viscous form in the vitreous humour is a permanent change and whether any visible change persists as a result of hyaluronidase action. Very ...

In this paper, we discuss a model of simple question–answer punning, implemented in a program, JAE-1, which generates riddles from humour–independent lexical entries. The model uses two main types of structure: schemata, which determine the relationships between key words in a joke, and templates, which produce the surface form of the joke. JAPE-1 succeeds in generating pieces of text that are ...

l'humour est une notion complexe dont le contenu, plus que sa définition, est diversement apprécié d'une culture à l'autre, d'une région à une autre, d'un point de vue à un autre, à tel point que ce qui est considéré par certains comme de l'humour, peut être considéré par les autres comme une méchante moquerie ou une insulte. il est généralement utilisé comme une forme d'expression permettant d...

4-Hydroxy-3-methoxymandelic acid (HMMA) concentrations in aqueous humour, urine, and serum were simultaneously estimated to determine if these levels were raised in cases of retinoblastoma. The catecholamine content of aqueous humour was significantly higher than that of urine and serum, but as there was no significant difference in the HMMA concentration in retinoblastoma and other non-maligna...

Human being has always been suffering from diseases. Before the beginning of Ṭibb (medicine) (300Bc), superstitions were considered as cause disease. Therefore, Gods and Goddesses worshipped to cure disease regain health. Since existence medicine, material is a Accordingly, treatment shifted towards material.
