Laser epithelial keratomileusis in 2010 a review
23/11/2010 | external link
Photorefractive keratectomy, laser epithelial keratomileusis (LASEK) and Epi-LASIK are all variants of a similar type refractive surgery involving laser on the surface of the cornea and differ mainly in management of the epithelium. Although laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) is currently the most popular form of refractive surgery, LASEK is the procedure of choice in some patients. We highlight potential complications of LASEK and how these may be managed. Following laser refractive surgery, corneal th
Straylight before and after LASEK in Myopia: Changes in Retinal Straylight [Visual Psychophysics and Physiological Optics]

Preoperative retinal straylight, which increased as a function of spherical equivalent refraction, decreased after LASEK refractive surgery. Preoperative increases due to contact lens wear disappeared as well after the procedure. (Source: Investigative Ophthalmology)
The identification of a new Giardia duodenalis assemblage in marine vertebrates and a preliminary analysis of G. duodenalis population biology in marine systems.
23/11/2010 | external link
Authors: Lasek-Nesselquist E, Welch DM, Sogin ML Giardia duodenalis is an intestinal parasite of many vertebrates. The presence of G. duodenalis in the marine environment due to anthropogenic and wildlife activity is well documented, including the contributions from untreated sewage and storm water, agricultural run-off, and droppings from terrestrial animals. Recently, studies have detected this protistan parasite in the feces of marine vertebrates such as whales, dolphins, seals and shore birds. To
Caveolin-1 as a Novel Indicator of Wound Healing Capacity in Aged Human Corneal Epithelium.
23/11/2010 | external link
Authors: Rhim JH, Kim JH, Yeo EJ, Kim JC, Park SC Excess caveolin-1 has been reported to play a role in age-dependent hyporesponsiveness to growth factors in vitro. We, therefore, hypothesize that caveolin-1-dependent hyporesponsiveness to growth factors in aged corneal epithelial cells might be responsible for delayed wound healing in vivo. In order to test this hypothesis, corneal wound healing time was evaluated by vital staining using fluorescein after laser epithelial keratomileusis (LASEK). We c
Broadly Sampled Multigene Analyses Yield a Well-Resolved Eukaryotic Tree of Life.

Authors: Parfrey LW, Grant J, Tekle YI, Lasek-Nesselquist E, Morrison HG, Sogin ML, Patterson DJ, Katz LA An accurate reconstruction of the eukaryotic tree of life is essential to identify the innovations underlying the diversity of microbial and macroscopic (e.g., plants and animals) eukaryotes. Previous work has divided eukaryotic diversity into a small number of high-level "supergroups," many of which receive strong support in phylogenomic analyses. However, the abundance of data in phylogenomic an
Meta-analysis: Clinical Outcomes of Laser-Assisted Subepithelial Keratectomy and Photorefractive Keratectomy in Myopia
23/11/2010 | external link
Conclusions: In this meta-analysis, LASEK-treated eyes had no significant benefits over PRK-treated ones with regard to clinical outcomes. Less corneal haze was observed in LASEK-treated eyes at 1 to 3 months after surgery.Financial Disclosure(s): The author(s) have no proprietary or commercial interest in any materials discussed in this article.

Keratocyte Density after Laser-Assisted Subepithelial Keratectomy with Mitomycin C
23/11/2010 | external link
Conclusions: LASEK with MMC seems to cause a decrease in the anterior stromal cells 3 months after the surgery compared with nonoperated corneas. There seems to be a compensating proliferation of keratocytes in the deeper corneal layers, suggesting that the ability of keratocytes to repopulate the cornea is maintained after the surgical procedure.

Straylight before and after hyperopic laser in situ keratomileusis or laser-assisted subepithelial keratectomy
23/11/2010 | external link
Conclusions: Although straylight increased slightly after hyperopic LASIK and LASEK, the increase was not statistically significant. Some eyes with increased straylight had haze or interface debris. The cause of the increased straylight could not be determined in some cases.Financial Disclosure: No author has a financial or proprietary interest in any material or method mentioned.
