Introduction . The availability of an objective assessment the microcirculatory bed is possible when examining vessels conjunctiva. This especially true in individuals who have had COVID-19 and diseases associated with endothelial dysfunction. Aim To study microcirculation conjunctiva after a new coronavirus infection caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus. Materials methods 83 patients history were examin...

PURPOSE To evaluate the expression patterns of cytokeratin (K) 12, 13, and 19 in normal epithelium of the human ocular surface to determine whether K13 could be used as a marker for conjunctival epithelium. METHODS Total RNA was isolated from the human conjunctiva and central cornea. Those transcripts that had threefolds or higher expression levels in the conjunctiva than the cornea were iden...

PURPOSE The objective of this study was to determine whether human conjunctival epithelium synthesizes TFF-peptides (formerly P-domain peptides, trefoil factors), a family of mucin-associated secretory peptides of the gastrointestinal tract. METHODS Expression of TFF-peptides in human conjunctiva was monitored by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis. Antisera specific for ...

To present reversal of sensation of conjunctival limbal autograft. A 48-year-old female presented with red-colored mass in the left eye involving the temporal bulbar conjunctiva and limbus. It was vascular, elevated, compressible and immobile. Excisional biopsy, and conjunctiva limbal autgrafting with fibrin glue was performed, and histopathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of capillar...

Both the distribution of tear fluid over the conjunctiva and any injury to the conjunctival epithelium can be made visible by instilling a fluorescent solution into the eye and observing with an appropriate combination of excitation and barrier filters. Sulphorhodamine B, which has an orange fluorescence that can be separated from the green natural fluorescence of the ocular tissues, gives a gr...

conclusions due to the good tolerance of patients towards topical anesthesia, pouring a drop of povidone-iodine 10% seems to be a simple and acceptable method to reduce the growth of microorganisms of the conjunctiva. background postoperative endophthalmitis is one the most serious complications of cataract surgery. the majority of causative organisms in this destructive infection come from the...

Two cases with an eyelash in pterygium and conjunctiva were presented in this work. A 76-year-old woman presented with bilateral ocular irritation, itching, and visual loss without any history of trauma or ocular surgery. On slit lamp examination, there was a pterygium closing the visual axis of the right eye. Careful slit lamp examination revealed also an eyelash in the pterygium in the right ...

purpose : to introduce a case of cutaneous and lid leishmaniasis in an immune suppressed woman case report : we report an unusual clinical course of old world cutaneous leishmaniasis (owcl) in an immune suppressed 51 years old women recipient of kidney transplant. she developed disseminated cutaneous leishmaniasis (dcl) with bilateral upper and lower eye lids lesions. antimoniate compounds were...

The discovery of frank bleeding from the conjunctiva, apart from injury, is a relatively rare condition, but it is not infrequent to find a sanguinous discharge in cases of severe inflammation of the conjunctiva. The various causes of bleeding from the conjunctiva are vicarious menstruation, haemophilia, anaemia, jaundice, vascular tumours, bleeding from the lacrimal gland, regurgitation of blo...

conclusions: according to our experiment, onion has an inhibitory effect on the growth of normal eye flora; although the duration of onion juice instillation did not show any significant effect on the group results. hence, this finding is an initiating point for further investigations into the antimicrobial properties of this herb to treat common eye infections, including conjunctivitis and ble...
