PURPOSE To test whether the minimum rim area assessed by spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), based on the shortest distance from the Bruch membrane opening (BMO) to the inner limiting membrane, corresponds more closely to retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness and visual field mean deviation (MD) than current rim measures in early glaucoma. DESIGN Prospective cross-sect...

In this paper we establish mapping properties of bilinear Coifman-Meyer multipliers acting on the product spaces H1(Rn)×bmo(Rn) and Lp(Rn)×bmo(Rn), with 1<p<∞. As application these results, obtain some related Kato-Ponce-type inequalities involving endpoint space bmo(Rn), also study pointwise a function in bmo(Rn) functions H1(Rn), h1(Rn) Lp(Rn),

We examined associations between optic nerve head structural parameters and glaucomatous visual field indices. The study population included patients with glaucomatous optic neuropathy who were evaluated at Aichi Medical University, Nagakute, Aichi, Japan, from October 2010 to January 2011. A total of 57 eyes from 33 patients were assessed. We measured visual field using a Humphrey field analyz...

Abstract Background To assess the diagnostic capability of novel Bruch’s membrane opening (BMO)-based disc parameters, BMO-minimum rim width (BMO-MRW) and area (BMO-MRA) in Chinese population compare them to retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) from optical coherence tomography (OCT) (RA) Heidelberg tomograph-III (HRT-III). Methods In total, 200 eyes 77 healthy 123 primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG...

We study the condition that characterizes the symbols of bounded Hankel operators on the Bergman space of a strongly pseudoconvex domain and show that it is equivalent to BMO plus analytic. (Here we mean the Bergman metric BMO of Berger, Coburn and Zhu.) In the course of the proof we obtain new d -estimates that may be of independent interest. Some applications include a decomposition of BMO si...

In this paper, we prove the well-posedness for the fractional NavierStokes equations in critical spaces G −(2β−1) n (R ) and BMO−(2β−1)(Rn). Both of them are close to the largest critical space Ḃ −(2β−1) ∞,∞ (R ). In G −(2β−1) n (R ), we establish the well-posedness based on a priori estimates for the fractional Navier-Stokes equations in Besov spaces. To obtain the well-posedness in BMO−(2β−1)...

Mechanistic research suggests a unique evolutionary relationship between complex milk oligosaccharides and cognate bifidobacteria enriched in breast-fed infants. Bovine milk oligosaccharides (BMO) were recently identified as structurally and functionally similar to human milk oligosaccharides. The present single-blind three-way crossover study is the first to determine the safety and tolerabili...

PURPOSE To compare optical coherence tomography (OCT) detected, optic nerve head (ONH) compliance within control and experimental glaucoma (EG) eyes of 15 monkeys at EG onset. METHODS Intraocular pressure (IOP) was chronically elevated in one eye of each animal using a laser. Experimental glaucoma onset was identified using confocal scanning laser tomography (CSLT). Optical coherence tomograp...

PURPOSE To delineate three dimensionally the neural canal landmarks-Bruch's membrane opening (BMO), anterior sclera canal opening (ASCO), anterior laminar insertion (ALI), posterior laminar insertion (PLI), and posterior scleral canal opening (PSCO)-and the anterior-most aspect of the subarachnoid space (ASAS), within digital three-dimensional (3-D) reconstructions of the monkey optic nerve hea...

Bovine milk oligosaccharides have several potentially important biological activities including the prevention of pathogen binding to the intestinal epithelial and as nutrients for beneficial bacteria. It has been suggested that milk oligosaccharides are an important source of complex carbohydrates as supplements for the food and the pharmaceutical industries. However, only a small number of st...
