Amblyopia: Out of the Dark, Into the Light
نویسنده
چکیده
For over a hundred years, patching of the good eye has been the main and often only method of treating a 'lazy' or amblyopic eye. A recent study shows that a period of time in complete darkness can promote rapid recovery of vision.

Theories as to the etiology of amblyopia (also called amblyopia ex anopsia, strabis mus amblyopia, and amblyopia without ophthalmoscopic signs) may roughly be divided into two groups depending upon whether the primary defect is postulated in the cere bral cortex or in the retina. Wald and Burian who are among the most lucid ad vocates of the former position described measurements on five cas...
متن کاملEffect of light and passage on cardiac glycoside production on cultured cell of Digitalis nervosa Steud & Hochst
Light is important for the production of metabolites by plant cell culture. It is therefore necessary to evaluate the light conditions with respect to exposure time. Both enhancement and inhibition have been observed depending on exposure time and species. Callus culture of D. nervosa was established and effect of light and passage on cardiac glycoside production was studied. In vitro cultures ...

متن کاملEffect of Eight Weeks of Endurance Training in Light and Dark Phases of Circadian Rhythm on the Oxidative Stress Index in Pancreas of Diabetic Mice
Introduction: Chronic hyperglycemia is associated with an increase in cellular damage due to oxidative stress in pancreatic tissue. The effect of exercise in different phases of the circadian cycle on protecting pancreatic tissue from oxidative stress in diabetic patients is unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of eight weeks of endurance training in light and dark phase...
متن کاملIdentification and Functional Characterization of Arabidopsis icl Mutant Under Trehalose Feeding in Light and Dark Conditions
Trehalose is a non-reducing sugar that plays an important role in plant growth and development. To study the role of trehalose on lipid metabolism and gluconeogenesis, Arabidopsis thaliana wild type (WT) and TreF (a line expressing trehalase) were grown on ½ MS medium with or without 100 mM sucrose and or trehalose in light or continuous darkness. In dark, trehalose leads skotomorphoge...
