Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of Azithromycin Resistance in Streptococcus pneumoniae in the Setting of Trachoma Mass Drug Administration: A Systematic ReviewNazia Khan, Barbara Lachana Onen, Robin Hilder, Robin BaileyTrachoma is a blinding eye disease caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis. The current global elimination of trachoma initiative includes the use of mass drug distribution of azithromycin in areas where the prevalence of follicular trachoma is >10% in children aged 1-9 years. This study aims to investigate the high quality evidence of whether mass drug administration for trachoma causes … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 16, Issue 3 · 24 Jul 2020 · 7,599 accessesView PDFCite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReview of the Progress in Corneal Neovascularization Animal ModelsShuci Tian, Shurong Wang, Yuxi He et al.Corneal Neovascularization (CNV), the extensive growth of blood vessels from conjunctiva into the cornea. It is a sight-threatening condition that can decreases eyesight and even leads to blindness. The pathologic growth of blood vessels impairs light transmission, promotes scar formation and causes inflammations, which harm visual acuity. Abnormal angiogenesis plays an important role in the process of CNV, which may … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 28 Nov 2015 · 8,424 accessesView PDFCite
Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effects of Glucocorticoids on Trabecular Meshwork and its Role in GlaucomaAlina GenisPrimary Open-Angle Glaucoma (POAG), an optic neuropathy that is a leading cause of irreversible blindness, has been studied extensively in hopes of better understanding its underlying mechanism. Glucocorticoids (GC) are commonly used to treat inflammatory ocular conditions but are also known to increase the risk of glaucoma by raising Intraocular Pressure (IOP) in susceptible individuals, leading to steroid-induced glaucoma. Based … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 14 Oct 2015 · 8,224 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Economic System for Screening of Diabetic Retinopathy Using Fundus ImagesG.S. Annie Grace Vimala, S. Kaja MohideenDelayed length of time of the diabetes may influence the tiny blood vessels of the retina bringing about Diabetic Retinopathy (DR). It is one of the major root causes of the blindness across the globe. Routine eye screening of patients with diabetes serves to discover DR at the early stage.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSALIVARY CARBONIC ANHYDRASE VI, ZINC SULFATE TASTE ACUITY AND FREQUENCY OF ILLNESS: A PILOT STUDYMatthew J. Zdilla, Leah D. StarkeySalivary Carbonic Anhydrase VI (CA6) is a zinc-dependent metalloenzyme which may be important for normal taste function. Though many taste assessment methods exist, the assessment of zinc sulfate taste acuity is a method that has been suggested to have diverse relationships to human health. A double-blinded pilot study was conducted among 21 individuals to analyze the relationships between salivary CA6 … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 8 Jul 2014 · 7,191 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractILLUMINANCE EVALUATION AND ASSESSMENT AT THREE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLSAhmed Cherif Megri, Yao Yu, Akeel Sobers, Alyssa CooperA simplified model for illuminance prediction has been developed to estimate the indoor level of lighting under artificial lighting. As well, illuminance in several locations of three schools has been measured under several conditions: Blinds up/lights on, blinds up/lights off, blinds down/lights on, blinds down/lights off. The experimental data of the case &#34blinds down/lights on&#34 has been compared to the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 27 Mar 2014 · 7,860 accessesView PDFCite
