Aim—To demonstrate the eYcacy of a petrolatum based calcium ointment applied to the lower lid skin in the management of dry eye. Methods—In a controlled double masked study, the eVects of water free petrolatum ointment containing calcium carbonate (10% w/w) on tear functional factors and ocular surface vital staining in dry eye patients were observed. Petrolatum without calcium carbonate served...

The cat's retinogeniculate pathway is largely composed of X and Y axons, which represent two distinct neuronal streams organized in parallel. Our earlier data, summarized in the previous paper, suggest that the postnatal development of retinogeniculate axon arbors is characterized by competitive interactions between the X and Y axons. Thus, during development, X arbors in lamina A or A1 are ini...
