Background: Ocular surface health is closely related to the condition of ocular adnexa, particularly eyelids. Both adnexal disorders and oculoplastic procedures performed treat them can cause (OSD). In this review, we aimed summarize relationship between OSD.
 Methods: narrative an electronic search PubMed/MEDLINE database was conducted using various combinations keywords including “oculop...

Prolactin secretion is stimulated markedly in fish exposed to water of pH 4. This phenomenon was used to study the control of prolactin secretion. Activation occurs irrespective of changes in plasma osmolarity or plasma sodium and calcium concentrations. After acute acidification of the water, which leads to a substantial fall in plasma osmolarity and plasma electrolyte levels, the activation o...

purpose: to evaluate and compare tear secretion and tear film instability following laser in situ keratomileusis (lasik) and laser assisted subepithelial keratectomy (lasek). methods: in a randomized clinical trial, 30 eyes of 15 patients underwent lasik and 30 eyes of 15 patients underwent lasek to correct myopia. tear secretion and tear film instability were tested preoperatively, 2 and 6 wee...

Objective: Among the various impression materials, for alginate tear strength is probably more important than the compressive strength. The tear strength is important when an impression involves a mechanical undercut and/or lacks bulk strength to resist tearing. This study evaluated tear strength of Iralgin and compared it with tear strength of Alginoplast. Methods: In this invitro experime...

BACKGROUND Increasing evidence is linking fluid intake, vasopressin suppression and osmotic control with chronic kidney disease progression. Interestingly, the association between urine volume, urine osmolarity and risk of dialysis initiation has not been studied in chronic kidney disease patients before. OBJECTIVE To study the relationship between urine volume, urine osmolarity and the risk ...

The main objective of this project was to investigate the behavior and the damaging effects of hot tear segregations in the continuously cast steel blooms on the final product quality. To achieve this aim, plant data from three different types of steels were used. Investigations using the scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS) probe and metal...

patients and methods seventy patients with chronic partial supraspinatus tears in magnetic resonance imaging were randomized into two groups; prp (n = 35) and pt (n = 35). before the treatment, at the end of the treatment and at the 12th month after the end of the treatment, range of motion (rom), visual analog scale (vas) for pain, disabilities of arm, shoulder and hand questionnaire (dash), n...

Vibrio cholerae is both an intestinal pathogen and a microbe in the estuarine community. To persist in the estuarine environment, V. cholerae must adjust to changes in ionic composition and osmolarity. These changes in the aquatic environment have been correlated with cholera epidemics. In this work, we study the response of V. cholerae to increases in environmental osmolarity. Optimal growth o...

Freshwater Protozoa are hyperosmotic to their environment. Direct determinations of intracellular osmolarity on Amoeba proteus and Pelomyxa carolinensis have given values between 101 and 117 m-osmole/kg cells, when the external osmolarity was 2-8 m-osmole/1 (Lovtrup & Pigon, 1951; Riddick, 1968; Schmidt-Nielsen & Schrauger, 1963). No measurements were made of intracellular osmolarity in respons...
