The laser flare intensity in diabetics, measured with the scattering of a light beam, was evaluated and compared with actual aqueous protein concentration obtained during surgery. Measurement of the laser flare intensity in 120 diabetics and 108 normal subjects was performed with the laser flare cell meter (FC1000 Kowa, Tokyo). Aqueous protein concentration in 26 diabetics and six controls who ...

Solar flares are a transient phenomenon occurred in the active region (AR) on Sun’s surface, producing intense emissions EUV and soft X-ray that can wreak havoc near-Earth space mission satellite as well radio-based communication navigation. The ARs accompanied with strong magnetic fields manifested dark spots photosphere. To understand photospheric field properties of produce flares, two assoc...

Magnetic flux ropes are the centerpiece of solar eruptions. Direct measurements for magnetic field crucial understanding triggering and energy release processes, yet they remain heretofore elusive. Here we report microwave imaging spectroscopy observations an M1.4-class flare that occurred on 2017 September 6, using data obtained by Expanded Owens Valley Solar Array. This event is associated wi...

INTRODUCTION Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS) is characterized by the sudden onset of severe obsessive-compulsive symptoms and/or eating restriction along with at least two coinciding neuropsychiatric symptoms. When associated with group A Streptococcus, the syndrome is labeled Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder Associated with Streptococcal infections (PANDAS)...

The laser flare cell meter allows rapid non-invasive quantification of aqueous flare and cells. In this prospective study laser photometry was used to document the recovery of the blood-aqueous barrier in 27 normal eyes following cataract surgery. Aqueous flare and cells were highest on the first postoperative day, declining rapidly in the first week and returning to preoperative levels by 3 mo...

PURPOSE To evaluate the effects of topical betaxolol on experimental ocular inflammation. METHODS Transcorneal diffusion of 25 microg/mL (7.09 x 10(-2) mmol/L) of prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)), placed in a glass cylinder, was employed to induce aqueous flare elevation in pigmented rabbits. Betaxolol was administered topically before PGE(2) application. Aqueous flare was measured with a laser fl...

PURPOSE To evaluate the role of topical betaxolol on experimental ocular inflammation in rabbits. METHOD Transcorneal diffusion of highly selective agonists for prostaglandin E2 receptor subtypes (EP), 25 microg/ml, with the use of a glass cylinder, was performed to produce aqueous flare elevation in pigmented rabbits. Betaxolol was topically administered before EP agonist application. Aqueou...
