A search conducted from July August 2020 SCOPUS, Web Science, Science Direct, PubMed Central, CINAHL, COCHRANE databases. T...

OBJECTIVES Topical ocular administration is the most convenient route of administration of drugs for the treatment of eye diseases. However, the bioavailability of drugs following eye instillations of eye drops is very low. Over the past 20 years, extensive efforts have been put into research to improve drug bioavailability without compromising treatment compliance and patients' quality of life...

This paper compares patterns of hiring and separations in regulated and unregulated labor markets over the last two decades in Brazil, with an eye toward gauging the effects of employment protection on employment adjustment over the business cycle. Since the difference between the sectors is stark and well-defined, the consequences of employment protection on flows through the labor market are ...

BACKGROUND Worldwide, degenerative eye diseases (age-related maculopathy (ARM), cataract, glaucoma) are the main causes of visual impairment and blindness, which contribute to disability in the elderly. Mainly three types of nutritional factors are investigated for their potential protection against eye ageing: antioxidants; lutein and zeaxanthin (carotenoids which accumulate specifically in th...

OBJECTIVES To assess incidence rates of eye injuries in the US Armed Forces and to identify demographic and occupational correlates of risk. DESIGN Retrospective population-based study. SETTING US military medical facilities worldwide. PARTICIPANTS All individuals in the US Armed Forces during 1998. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Incidence rates of hospitalizations and ambulatory visits for eye ...

We compute the front speeds of the Kolmogorov-Petrovsky-Piskunov (KPP) reactive fronts in two prototypes of periodic incompressible flows (the cellular flows and the cat’s eye flows). The computation is based on adaptive streamline diffusion methods for the advection-diffusion type principal eigenvalue problem associated with the KPP front speeds. In the large amplitude regime, internal layers ...

BACKGROUND Many natural substances are classified as dangerous substances according to the European regulation on classification and labelling. Are they used in natural personal care products today? One hundred ingredient lists were analyzed to find this out. RESULTS All products with natural substances contained dangerous natural substances or they contained natural substances, for which the...

[email protected] Norwegian University of Science and Technology Department of Sociology and Political Science . It was observed that even if each case of food risk is special, public policies dealing with food risk have shifted the burden onto the individual responsibility of consumers. It...

Previous work suggested that brain NGF acts locally on cells adjacent to sites of synthesis, in addition to any putative actions on distant, projecting perikarya. To define the basis of local action, we used a sensitive nuclease protection assay to identify cells expressing the NGF gene in vivo and in vitro. In addition to neurons, glia from a variety of developing brain areas synthesized NGF m...

BACKGROUND This work is part of a broader research that focuses on ocular health. Three outlines are the basis of the pyramid that comprehend the research as a whole: authors' previous work, which has provided the public to self-check their own sunglasses regarding the ultraviolet protection compatible to their category; Brazilian national survey in order to improve nationalization of sunglasse...
