Purpose: To evaluate and compare corneal hysteresis (CH), resistance factor (CRF), central thickness (CCT), measurements were taken between a healthy population (controls), patients diagnosed with glaucoma (DG), suspect due to ocular hypertension (OHT), family history of (FHG), or glaucoma-like optic discs (GLD). Additionally, Goldmann-correlated intraocular pressure (IOPg) corneal-compensated ...

UNLABELLED Globoid cell leukodystrophy (GLD, Krabbe disease) is due to autosomal recessive mutations in the lysosomal enzyme galactosylceramidase (GALC). Many GLD patients develop infantile-onset of progressive neurologic deterioration and death by 2 years of age, whereas others have a later-onset, milder disease. Cord blood transplant slows disease progression much more effectively when perfor...

David Hasenauer, CODE V Product Manager Introduction During the design of any optical system destined to be manufactured, it is critical to define a fabrication and assembly budget. This budget must consider any potential compensation that will be used during the manufacturing process to mitigate the performance degradation introduced by fabrication variations. It is important to specify the be...

Recent evidence suggests that immune-mediated gastric epithelial cell apoptosis through Fas-Fas ligand interactions participates in Helicobacter pylori disease pathogenesis. To define the role of Fas signaling in vivo, H. pylori strain SS1 infection in C57BL/6 mice was compared to that in mice deficient in the Fas ligand (gld). gld mice had a degree of gastritis similar to that of C57BL/6 mice ...

Congenital generalized lipodystrophy (GLD) is a rare autosomal recessive disease characterized by near absence of adipose tissue from birth or early infancy and severe insulin resistance. Since Berardinelli described a very rare case of congenital generalized lipodystrophy, nearly 120 cases have been reported in the literature. We report a case of GLD which, to the best of our knowledge, is the...
