A biorepository for ophthalmic surgical specimens

Care of ophthalmic surgical instruments

A light-activated surgical adhesive technique for sutureless ophthalmic surgery.

OBJECTIVE To investigate a scaffold-enhanced, light-activated bioadhesive technique as a substitute for sutures in ophthalmic surgery. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Suture use in ophthalmic surgery is technically demanding and time consuming and may be associated with serious complications such as inadvertent ocular penetration, which can result in retinal detachment and endophthalmitis. Bioadhesive sur...

Biorepository and biospecimen science: a new focus for CEBP.

In January 2006, Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention (CEBP) introduced the new subject area of Biorepository and Biospecimen Science. In creating this new category, the journal is recognizing what many investigators, including molecular epidemiologists, have known for years: that the proper collection, processing, storage, and tracking of biospecimens are critical components of biomark...

Establishment of a Clinic-based Biorepository.

The incidence of skin cancer (e.g., squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, and melanoma) has been increasing over the past several years. It is expected that there will be a parallel demand for cutaneous tumor samples for biomedical research studies. Tissue availability, however, is limited due the cost of establishing a biorepository and the lack of protocols available for obtaining cl...
