Tuwairqi and Sinjab, in this prospective and noncontrolled study, performed corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) in patients with stage 1 or 2 keratoconus pretreated with topography-guided photorefractive keratectomy...

Histology of the lesions showed well differentiated squamous carcinoma invading the superficial layers of the cornea only. Large invasive squamous cell carcinomas of the cornea result because of neglect of small par...
متن کاملHeparanase Overexpresses in Keratoconic Cornea and Tears Depending on the Pathologic Grade
Background Keratoconus has classically been defined as a noninflammatory disorder, although recent studies show elevated levels of inflammatory markers suggesting that keratoconus could be, at least in part, an inflammatory condition. Heparanase upregulation has been described in multiple inflammatory disorders. In this article, we study the differential expression of heparanase in cornea and t...
متن کاملTelocytes in normal and keratoconic human cornea: an immunohistochemical and transmission electron microscopy study
Telocytes (TC) are typically defined as cells with telopodes by their ultrastructural features. Their presence was reported in the interstitium of various organs in vertebrates, including humans. However, no study has yet described the presence of TC in the human eye and in particular, within the stromal compartment of the cornea. To address this issue, samples of normal and pathologic (keratoc...
