چکیده

Clinically the presence of nerve fibre bundle defects in glaucoma and non-glaucomatous lesions, and altitudinal or vertical hemianopias in pre-chiasmal lesions has been known for a long time. These suggest a sectoral lesion in the optic nerve or retina. In the majority of such cases, no retinal lesion is seen to account for these visual field defects. It has been presumed that the lesion lies in the optic nerve. Such a visual field defect can be produced only by a sectoral lesion. Most of these field defects are considered to be vascular in origin, but studies of the blood supply of the optic nerve have so far failed to demonstrate any segmental blood supply to the nerve which could explain them. The present study demonstrates such a sectoral blood supply in the optic nerve head and choroid and is of considerable significance in explaining the site of the lesion and the pathogenesis of these defects.

The Role of Caspase 9 during Programmed Cell Death in Ciliary Ganglia of Chick Embryos

During programmed cell death (PCD) apoptosis is controlled by many factors such as proteases. With no specific protease (s) known during PCD in the developing nervous system so far, we sought to determine if any specific protease (s) is involved in this process and therefore used different protease inhibitors during PCD (from embryonic day 6 to 10) in chick embryos. Among the inhibitors commerc...

Histoanatomical study of the lens and ciliary body in ostrich eye

In the present study, the lenses and ciliary bodies of 20 ostrich eyes were studied macroscopically and microscopically. The histological slides were studied after staining by hematoxylin and eosin, Verhoeff, Van Gieson, and periodic acid-Schiff (PAS). Posterior surface of lens was more convex than its anterior surface. The average lens diameter and thickness were respectively measured as 1.43 ...
