PURPOSE To determine the reproducibility of measurements with the Nerve Fiber Analyzer, a scanning laser polarimeter designed for quantifying glaucoma in healthy patients and patients with glaucoma. The authors also assessed the variance of measurements between instruments. METHODS Measurements were made with the third generation Nerve Fiber Analyzer, the GDx. The study consisted of three par...

purpose: to compare intraocular pressure (iop) readings measured by the ocular response analyzer (ora) with those measured by the goldmann applanation tonometer (gat) in keratoconic eyes following penetrating keratoplasty (pkp) and to evaluate the influence of anatomical and biomechanical properties of the grafts on iop measurements. methods: this cross-sectional study was conducted on 45 kerat...

The paper presents the effects of computer modelling of the inner structure of the calvarium from CT scans using MeeSoft Image Analyzer software. This software generates a model image, which can be enlarged and viewed from different angles without visible distortion or blurring of the contours. Similar manipulation with the original CT scan produces destructive effects, which hinder visualisati...

Traditional descriptors for characterization of fruit shape of eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) provide limited information and do not allow a detailed characterization of this complex trait. New image analysis software tools like Tomato Analyzer, allow obtaining quantitative and objective data for a large number of fruit shape parameters. The Tomato Analyzer software tool was used for the evalu...

PURPOSE Recent studies have showed that epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a key process of glomerular and tubulointerstitial pathology in many chronic kidney diseases. However, there are no data of EMT in humane autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). PATIENTS AND METHODS ADPKD kidneys (N = 5) with end stage renal disease (ESRD) and control kidneys (N = 4) were analyzed...
