Degeneration and Regeneration of Subbasal Corneal Nerves after Infectious Keratitis
Purpose—To investigate the longitudinal alterations of subbasal corneal nerves in patients with infectious keratitis (IK) during acute phase, cessation of treatment and recovery phase by in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM). Design—Prospective, longitudinal, case-control, single-center study. Subjects—Fifty-six eyes of 56 patients with the diagnosis of bacterial (n=28), fungal (n=15), and Acantha...

متن کاملDegeneration and regeneration of corneal nerves.
CERTAIN authors, such as Haab (1899), Kraupa (1924), and Walsh (1947), have suggested that there might be an inter-relation between certain diseases of the cornea and the condition of the corneal nerves. The diseases mentioned are recurrent erosion of the cornea, superficial punctate keratitis, herpetic keratitis, and certain forms of degeneration of the corneal epithelium. Neuroparalytic kerat...

purpose: to investigate confocal scan features of corneal subbasal nerve plexus and epithelial dendritic cells in herpes simplex keratitis (hsk) as compared to acanthamoeba keratitis (ak). methods: confocal scan records of patients with clinical and confocal microscopic features compatible with hsk and ak as well as confocal scan records of normal participants were reviewed. the density and mor...
متن کاملThe role of the desert hedgehog signaling pathway during degeneration and regeneration of peripheral nerves
The desert hedgehog (Dhh) signaling pathway is involved in the development of peripheral nerves (PNs). Dhh-null mice show abnormal neuronal development and perineurial barrier function. As it was previously shown that dhh is mainly expressed in developmental nerves and Sonic hedgehog protein (dhh homologous) has therapeutic effects in neuronal survival, we attempted to investigate the possible ...
