Specificity of corneal nerve positions during embryogenesis.
PURPOSE Embryonic corneal innervation first involves pericorneal nerve ring formation, with nerves in specific positions, followed by innervation of the corneal stroma from the ring. Here we determine whether nerve bundles enter the cornea at specific locations along the ring and whether bundles enter the cornea at specific depths. METHODS Whole mount embryonic quail corneas immunostained for...
متن کاملExpression of nerve growth factor receptors on the ocular surface in healthy subjects and during manifestation of inflammatory diseases.
PURPOSE Recent studies have suggested the involvement of nerve growth factor (NGF) in the conjunctival inflammatory process and in corneal epithelium proliferation and differentiation. To verify the hypothesis that NGF could locally modulate the inflammatory and reparative processes, the authors evaluated the expression of NGF high-affinity receptor on the ocular surface in normal and pathologi...
متن کاملTestosterone and sympathetic nerve activity during pregnancy.
1 that examined the influence of testosterone on the endothelial nitric oxide (NO) system. The role of testosterone in gestational car-diovascular function has not been adequately examined, despite the fact that testosterone levels are exaggerated in preeclamptic and polycystic ovary syndrome pregnancies. Chinnathambi et al 1 used a well-controlled experimental model in which pregnant rats were...
متن کاملCorneal manifestations of ocular demodex infestation.
PURPOSE To report the corneal manifestations in eyes with Demodex infestation of the eyelids. DESIGN Noncomparative, interventional case series. METHODS This retrospective review included six patients with Demodex blepharitis who also exhibited corneal abnormalities, which led to suspicion of limbal stem cell deficiency in three cases. All patients received weekly lid scrubs with 50% tea tr...
متن کاملIsolated Ocular Motor Nerve Palsies.
An isolated ocular motor nerve palsy is defined as dysfunction of a single ocular motor nerve (oculomotor, trochlear, or abducens) with no associated or localizing neurologic signs or symptoms. When occurring in patients aged 50 or older, the most common cause is microvascular ischemia, but serious etiologies such as aneurysm, malignancy, and giant cell arteritis should always be considered. In...
