Oxygen levels beneath the closed eyelid.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The level of oxygen at the anterior corneal surface beneath the closed eyelid is shown to be equivalent to an atmosphere of 7.7% oxygen. This finding is in good agreement with assumptions which have been based on the oxygen level at the palpebral conjunctiva. However, in some instances a significant amount of oxygen is derived not only from the palpebral conjunctiva but also from the atmosphere as a result of an imperfect palpebral aperture seal.

Polarography: an oxygen survey correlating oxygen transmissibility to "EOP" values.
A polarographic oxygen electrode was used to measure the oxygen transmissibility of seven contact lenses of varying water content and center thickness. A similar electrode was used to measure the oxygen uptake following wear of these same contact lenses for both the open- and closed-eyelid conditions on five young healthy subjects. Linear regression revealed a strong correlation between oxygen ...

The Kuhshah ultramafic complex is located in the south-east of Sanandaj-Sirjan metamorphic zone, near the probable remnants of Neotethys plate in Iran. It consists of highly depleted harzburgites, dunites, chromitite bands and altered gabbros. The ultramafic parts have been intruded by numerous clinopyroxenite dykes and veins. In the harzburgites, there are different generations of olivine, ort...

both cornea and conjunctiva occurred as early as 15 min after bacterial inoculation. By 1 to 3 hr after bacterial inoculation, shrinkage of corneal epithelial cells was pronounced (Fig. 5, a and b). Fewer microvilli were seen on the shrunken regions of these affected cells, and the cell surfaces appeared roughened and irregular. Additionally, intercellular junctions were dilated to 1.0 fim in d...

Background: The aim of this study was to minimize edema and ecchymosis following rhinoplasty through a closed drainage system to address concealed hemorrhage.Methods: This study was designed as a prospective، double blinded, randomized contr-olled study. Fifty one patients who underwent septorhinoplasty were included in this study and divided in two groups. In group A, a closed drainage system ...
متن کاملEffect of the X-linked gene Tabby (Ta) on eyelid opening and incisor eruption in neonatal mice is opposite to that of epidermal growth factor.
Studies on eyelid opening and incisor eruption in 216 neonatal Tabby (Ta)-bearing mice and wildtype controls (35 Ta/Y, 62 + /Y, 30 Ta/Ta, 57 Ta/+ and 32 +/+) showed that in animals hemizygous and homozygous for Ta, the timing of eyelid opening and incisor eruption was significantly delayed (P less than 0.05). It was also observed that once open, the eyes of mutant pups do not remain open for lo...
