Trinitrotoluene (TNT)‐induced cataract in Danish arms factory workersWiley - Tập 83 Số 1 - Trang 26-30 - 2005
Andreas Kruse, Mette Hertel, Marianne Hindsholm, Sven Viskum
Abstract.Purpose: To compare the prevalence of cataract in workers exposed to
trinitrotoluene (TNT) to the prevalence in a group of unexposed workers, matched
on age and sex, using Tiukina's description and grading of TNT‐induced cataract.
Methods: A total of 23 TNT‐exposed and 44 unexposed workers underwent an eye
examination performed by an ophthalmologist who did not know the exposure status

Neuro‐ophthalmological findings in sarcoidosisWiley - Tập 82 Số 6 - Trang 723-729 - 2004
Kjell Heuser, Emı́lia Kerty
Abstract.Purpose: This review emphasizes the importance of
neuro‐ophthalmological signs and symptoms in sarcoidosis. The presence of
ophthalmological and neuro‐ophthalmological findings may lead to diagnosis of
the disease and the initiation of adequate treatment. Material and Methods:
Patients who had been diagnosed with neurosarcoidosis during the period
1990 − 2001 were identified from the de... hiện toàn bộ
Age‐related maculopathy and the impact of blue light hazardWiley - Tập 84 Số 1 - Trang 4-15 - 2006
Peep V. Algvere, John Marshall, Stefan Seregard
Abstract. The pathogenesis of age‐related maculopathy (ARM), the most common
cause of visual loss after the age of 60 years, is indeed a complicated scenario
that involves a variety of hereditary and environmental factors. The
pathological cellular and molecular events underlying retinal photochemical
light damage, including photoreceptor apoptosis, have been analysed in
experimental animal models... hiện toàn bộ
Isolation and in vitro propagation of human choroidal fibroblastsWiley - Tập 74 Số 1 - Trang 26-30 - 1996
Per Klyve, Bjørn Nicolaissen, O Naess
ABSTRACT Subretinal ingrowth of choroidal fibroblasts is of importance in
several clinical settings such as age‐related macular degeneration or after
traumas such as laser treatment and infection. In the present investigation we
describe a method for isolation and propagation of human choroidal fibroblasts
in vitro. Outgrowth from the outseeded choroid was studied by means of phase
contrast micros... hiện toàn bộ
Visual improvement with corticosteroid therapy in giant cell arteritis. Report of a large study and review of literatureWiley - Tập 80 Số 4 - Trang 355-367 - 2002
Sohan Singh Hayreh, Bridget Zimmerman, Randy H. Kardon
ABSTRACT.Objectives: (1) To report the incidence and extent of visual
improvement achieved by high‐dose systemic corticosteroid treatment in eyes with
visual loss due to giant‐cell arteritis (GCA). (2) To understand the cause of
the discrepancies between visual improvement revealed by routine visual acuity
(VA) and by the central visual field in kinetic perimetry. (3) To review
critically the con... hiện toàn bộ
An intervention trial on efficacy of atropine and multi‐focal glasses in controlling myopic progressionWiley - Tập 79 Số 3 - Trang 233-236 - 2001

ABSTRACT. Purpose: This randomized clinical trial assessed the treatment effects
of atropine and/or multi‐focal lenses in decreasing the progression rate of
myopia in children.Methods: Two hundred and twenty‐seven schoolchildren with
myopia, aged from 6 to 13 years, who were stratified based on gender, age and
the initial amount of myopia were randomly assigned to three treatment groups:
0.5% atro... hiện toàn bộ
Negative social bias against children with strabismusWiley - Tập 81 Số 2 - Trang 138-142 - 2003
Önder Üretmen, Sait Eğrilmez, Süheyla Köse, Kemal Pamukçu, Cezmi Akkın, Melis Palamar
Abstract.Purpose: To determine whether the presence of noticeable strabismus
creates a negative social bias against children.Methods: Photographs of two
boys and two girls were digitally altered to create photographs of the same
child in orthotropic, esotropic and exotropic states. Elementary school teachers
rated their perceptions of the children's personal characteristics (using a

Influence of androgens and pituitary hormones on the structural profile and secretory activity of the lacrimal glandWiley - Tập 74 Số 5 - Trang 421-435 - 1996
David A. Sulliva, Linda Block, J Peña
Abstract. The present study was designed to examine the influence of androgens
on the size, morphological appearance, and fluid and protein secretory capacity
of the lacrimal gland in a variety of species. For comparison, we also sought to
determine whether other hormones might stimulate the growth and secretory
ability of this tissue. Lacrimal glands and tears were obtained from intact,
