Morphological evaluation of scar tissue and corneal layers after penetrating eye injury.

Penetrating Eye Injury

A 38-year-old man presented to a regional Western Australian hospital after being stabbed in his left eye with a knife. Computerized Tomography (CT) revealed a 7 cm knife blade within the globe extending along the skull base. After transfer to a tertiary hospital, a cerebral angiogram was performed, excluding significant cerebral vascular involvement. Through a multidisciplinary approach with t...

Penetrating injury of the eye.

[Evaluation of corneal tissue processed by a reference Eye Bank].

PURPOSE To evaluate the quality of the corneas processed by Sorocaba Eye Bank (BOS) - SP and transplanted out of the Ophthalmology Hospital of Sorocaba (HOS), as well as the corneas that had re-entered in the BOS, being transplanted or not in the HOS, during the year of 2007. METHODS Ophthalmologists that transplanted corneas processed by BOS outside of the Ophthalmology Hospital of Sorocaba ...

Morphological changes in rabbit corneal endothelium after surgical injury.

PURPOSE To understand the responses of the corneal endothelium to different types of surgical insults, we chronologically investigated morphologic changes in rabbit endothelial cells after injury. METHODS We performed a mechanical incision, epithelial ablation, or excimer laser irradiation on rabbit corneas and observed the changes in the endothelial cells for up to 2 weeks after surgery unde...

Morphological Evaluation of Testis Tissue of Rats in Various Time Points after Diabetes Type 1 Induction

Abstract Objective: Previous studies have indicated the hyperglycemia-induce cell death in various tissues such as brain, kidneys, liver and especially in the testis. Recent studies have reported that diabetes can trigger male infertility. In this study we report the histological analysis of the testis tissue after diabetes type 1 induction in wistar rats. Materials and Methods: At various ti...
