PURPOSE Glaucoma can be defined as optic neuropathy leading to irreversible blindness if not treated in time. Primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) is the most common form of glaucoma. The myocilin (MYOC) gene has been found to mutate in both sporadic and familial cases of POAG worldwide. About 90% of these mutations have been seen to cluster at exon III of the gene. There are documented reports o...

The natural radioactivity due to uranium, Thorium and potassium in soil contributes to the radiation dose received by human beings significantly. Gamma ray spectrometric measurements carried out for the natural radioactivity levels due to Ra, Th and K in beach sand samples around the coast of Kanyakumari district were analyzed. For assessing the environmental radiological impact to public it is...

the concentration of selected trace metals (fe, cd, cu, pb, and zn) in 30surface sediments were measured using atomic absorption spectrometer to investigatethe spatial and seasonal variations of trace metals along kanyakumari coast, india. toassess the environmental risk of trace metals, enrichment factor, geo-accumulation index,pollution load index, and ecological risk index have been calculat...
