Development of ex vivo organ culture models to mimic human corneal scarring
PURPOSE To develop ex vivo organ culture models of human corneal scarring suitable for pharmacological testing and the study of the molecular mechanisms leading to corneal haze after laser surgery or wounding. METHODS Corneas from human donors were cultured ex vivo for 30 days, either at the air-liquid interface (AL) or immersed (IM) in the culture medium. Histological features and immunofluo...
متن کاملAntibiotic combinations: should they be tested?
When antibiotic combinations are used to provide a broader spectrum of antimicrobial activity or in an attempt to prevent the emergence of resistant organisms, it is rarely necessary or practical to perform tests of drug interactions in vitro. In vitro testing of combinations may be useful when combinations are used in an attempt to attain synergistic interactions. In some cases, screening meth...

Should Old-Age Benefits Be Earnings-Tested? We study the welfare effects of earnings testing flat-rate old-age benefits in a quantitative overlapping generations model with idiosyncratic labor income risk. In our model economy, even a moderate earnings testing reduces individuals’ expected lifetime utility, whenever other taxes are taken into account. Moreover, it also lowers the realized lifet...
متن کاملShould medical school applicants be tested for emotional intelligence?

In so doing, these officers and their designees must determine whether applicants fit not only with the missions and priorities of their respective programs and institutions but also with the values and go...
متن کاملShould Nanometer Circuits be Periodically Tested in the Field?
Escapes from manufacturing test: A large system built out of well-tested components can still have a significant probability of failure due to test escapes. Unfortunately field testing is unlikely to detect such failures because manufacturing tests, carried out on individual parts and on assembled (sub)systems, are far more comprehensive. Indeed, any proposed field test can be applied as part o...
