Prevention has a main role in reducing the occurrence of corrosive ingestion especially in children, yet this goal is far from being reached in developing countries, where such injuries are largely unreported and their true prevalence simply cannot be extrapolated from random articles or personal experience. Because of the accidental nature of the ingestions, the case fatality rate for pediatri...

PURPOSE To develop perimetric stimuli for which sensitivities are more resistant to reduced retinal illumination than current clinical perimeters. METHODS Fifty-four people free of eye disease were dilated and tested monocularly. For each test, retinal illumination was attenuated with neutral density (ND) filters, and a standard adaptation model was fit to derive mean and SEM for the adaptati...

programmed, then this implies that definite molecular alterations on the level of transcription or translation should be observable, and furthermore, it should be possible (theoretically at least) to accelerate, decelerate, or even reverse these events by the appropriate manipulation of molecular events. Furthermore, we would expect that naturally-occurring mutations may occasionally hit upon s...
