Optical Coherence Tomography Identifies Lower Labial Salivary Gland Surface Density in Cystic Fibrosis
The labial minor salivary glands (LSGs) are easily accessible mucus-secreting structures of the alimentary tract that may provide new information on the basis of gastrointestinal complications of cystic fibrosis (CF). It was shown that they are destructed in the course of cystic fibrosis. We employed wide-field, micrometer resolution in vivo optical coherence tomography to assess the surface de...
متن کاملOptical Coherence Tomography: imaging of age related maculopathy
Background Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of severe vision loss in the developed world in patients over 60 years. AMD is characterized by two distinct forms: dry and wet. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive, useful and reproducible diagnostic tool that provides cross-sectional images of retina and has a primary role for diagnostic and therapeutic ma...
متن کاملClinical Applications of Optical Coherence Tomography in Ophthalmology
Assessment of the peripapillary nerve fiber layer and macular thickness can be determined in ophthalmology using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Decreased nerve fiber layer thickness and macular ganglion cell thickness in optic nerve ischemia have been correlated with visual field loss. OCT allows deep optic nerve head evaluation which helps understand pathophysiology of diseases. Furtherm...
متن کاملObservations of Nerve Terminals in Human Labial Salivary Glands
The existence of a motor innervation to the secretory and myoepithelial elements of salivary glands has been supported amply by physiological and pharmacological studies extending over a century (reviewed in Babkin, 1950 ; Emmelin, 1967) . However, the exact morphological nature of this innervation at the acinar level is less well established, and has been the subject of several conflicting rep...
متن کاملDetection of AA-type amyloid protein in labial salivary glands.
OBJECTIVES Among the diverse forms of amyloidosis, secondary type is the most frequent one. Diagnosis of amyloid deposition is based on the identification of the fibrillary protein amyloid by means of Congo Red (CR) or crystal violet (CV) stains, but these techniques do not differentiate between the different types of amyloid fibrils. The aim of this study was to identify by immunofluorescence ...
