IF it is granted that the aqueous humour is formed by the active transfer of solutes and solvent from the plasma to the aqueous, it follows that the rates of transfer of the various solvent or solute species and the steady-state composition of the aqueous will depend upon the electrochemical potential difference (P.D.) across its boundaries with the plasma. Alterations of the electrochemical P....

Professional boundaries are an important aspect of social work theory and praxis – yet it is underexplored topic within the research literature. Research often explores specific types professional boundary issue rather than exploring workers’ stories or narratives. In contrast, this qualitative study explored UK broader understanding experience boundaries. This paper will examine one themes Hum...

THERE are three kinds of macromolecular substance in the vitreous humour: fibrous material, a viscous mucopolysaccharide, and soluble protein. The first, the residual protein, has many properties in common with collagen (Pirie, Schmidt, and Waters, 1948). The second, hyaluronic acid, has been characterized by Meyer and Palmer (1934) and shown to be a polymer of glucuronic acid and N-acetyl gluc...

AIMS/BACKGROUND To measure aqueous humour levels of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) in humans. To compare peptide levels in glaucomatous and control eyes to test the hypothesis that these peptides are increased in glaucoma. BNP and ANP are cyclic endopeptides whose principal biological effects are natriuresis and vasodilatation. Experimental glaucoma in anim...

In this introductory article to a special issue on ‘the politics and aesthetics of humour’, we argue that today in the Global North, humour forms heavily debated topic, which is deeply embedded political struggles over who are included excluded post-9/11 nation states. Under influence recent shift from post-politics hyper-politics European Anglo-American public sphere, observe repoliticisation ...

Anglican priest, was one of the most educated and widely read men of his day. He lived from 1577 to 1640 and is remembered for his influential treatise, The Anatomy of Melancholy (1). Lacking knowledge of biophysical processes, early healers sought to develop models for the treatment of mental illness. In Anatomy, Burton reviews this history as well as the most modern theories of the 17th centu...
