The broadening frontier of technology used in ocular imaging is continuously affecting the landscape of clinical eye care. With each wave of enhanced imaging modalities, the field faces the difficulties of optimally incorporating these devices into the clinic. Ocular imaging devices have been widely incorporated into clinical management after their diagnostic capabilities have been documented i...

The success of a space mission depends not only on a properly designed and built space segment and the successful launch via a launch segment. It also depends on the ground segment and successful mission operations, carried out by a team of experts using the infrastructure and processes of the mission’s ground segment. Its organization and design as well as the assembly, integration, test, and ...

A lot of researches have investigated the effects of topical cyclosporine A on the eye surface layers’ diseases. By now the main limitation in cyclosporine application is the low permeation of the drug into the posterior segments of the eye. The aim of present study was to formulate high permeable dosage form can be beneficial in the topical treatment of the uveitis. To reach higher corneal dru...

B-scan ultrasonograms of the anterior segment were performed on selected patients. The difficulties in imaging the anterior segment are discussed and the value of this technique is demonstrated by illustration of B-scans in different pathological conditions. This technique can often provide important information and allow an early and accurate prognosis.

A comparison of electroretinogram (ERG) thresholds measured on rats reared in continuous darkness and under cyclic lighting conditions shows that by 30 days of age the dark-reared animals have achieved significantly lower thresholds than the animals reared under cyclic illumination. Ten days of continuous dark exposure produces this same increase in sensitivity in adult rats reared in cyclic li...

haplothrips zabolius sp. n. is described from two plant species, cynodon dactylon (poaceae) and plantago lanceolata (plantaginaceae) from the southeast of iran. the new species is apparently close to some grass-living haplothrips species: h. aculeatus (fabricius), h. eragrostidis priesner and h. hukkineni priesner. most specimens of the new species have only one sense cone on the antennal segme...
