HYALINE MEMBRANES ON THE POSTERIOR CORNEAL SURFACE

Total Corneal Astigmatism and Posterior Corneal Surface.

Hyaline ridges on the posterior cornea.

HYALINE or glassy ridge formation on the posterior corneal surface appears to be a not uncommon phenomenon, the recognition of which may be missed without careful examination with the slit-lamp microscope. Normally, Descemet's membrane is secreted as a hyaline tissue by the endothelial corneal cells during intra-uterine life; the exact point of development at which it appears is not definitely ...

Plasma Proteins in Hyaline Membranes

Hyaline membrane disease of the newborn has been a subject of ever-growing interest to paediatricians and pathologists as it is the major cause of death in newborn babies, particularly premature ones. Much more is known of the clinical picture and physiological changes in hyaline membrane disease, or respiratory distress syndrome of the newborn (Avery, 1962; Curtis, 1957; James, 1959; Miller, 1...

Pulmonary hyaline membranes in the newborn.

In some infants dying within the first week of life, microscopical studies of the lung tissue show homogeneous, hyaline membranes lining the alveolar ducts and proximal alveoli. A common associated finding is atelectasis of the peripheral lung tissue. The hyaline membranes are seen more frequently in premature than in full-term infants, and only in infants who have breathed. Infants with hyalin...
