Influence of advanced recipient and donor age on the outcome of corneal transplantation. Australian Corneal Graft Registry.
(BMJ Publishing Group - http://bjo.bmjjournals.com/, 1997-10)AIMS: The aims of this study were to examine the influence of advanced recipient and donor age on the long term outcome of corneal transplantation. METHODS: Records of 1036 penetrating corneal grafts in recipients aged > ... -
An instrument for assessment of subjective visual disability in cataract patients
(BMJ Publishing Group - http://bjo.bmjjournals.com/, 1998)The construction and validation of an instrument for the assessment of subjective visual disability in the cataract patient is described. This instrument is specifically designed for measuring the outcome of cataract surgery ... -
Apoptosis is a prominent feature of acute anterior uveitis in the Fischer 344 rat
(BMJ Publishing Group - http://bjo.bmjjournals.com/, 2000-02)AIMS: To examine the hypothesis that apoptosis of infiltrating cells contributes to spontaneous resolution of uveitis in clinically relevant rodent models. METHODS: Experimental melanin induced uveitis (EMIU) was induced ... -
Pythium insidiosum keratitis confirmed by DNA sequence analysis
(BMJ Publishing Group - http://bjo.bmjjournals.com/, 2001-04)Case report/letter detailing identification of the pathogen pythium insidiosum by nucleic acid sequencing. -
A simple corneal perfusion chamber for drug penetration and toxicity studies
(BMJ Publishing Group - http://bjo.bmjjournals.com/, 2001-04)AIMS: Corneal perfusion chambers are important tools in the development and assessment of ophthalmic drugs. The aim of this study was to design and test a modified perfusion chamber suitable for topical application of drugs ... -
The long term outcome of limbal allografts: the search for surviving cells
(BMJ Publishing Group - http://bjo.bmjjournals.com/, 2001-05)BACKGROUND/AIMS: Limbal allotransplantation is increasingly being used for ocular surface repair in patients with limbal stem cell dysfunction. However, it is uncertain whether donor cells survive long term on the ocular ... -
Late onset post-keratoplasty astigmatism in patients with keratoconus
(BMJ Publishing Group - http://bjo.bmjjournals.com/, 2004-03)AIM: 10 eyes of 10 patients are reported where progression of keratoconus in the host cornea occurred more than 10 years after penetrating keratoplasty with resultant increase in astigmatism. The technique and results of ... -
Contrast and glare testing in keratoconus and after penetratin keratoplasty
(BMJ Publishing Group - http://bjo.bmjjournals.com/, 2004-05)AIM: To compare the performance of keratoconus, penetrating keratoplasty (PK), and control subjects on clinical tests of contrast and glare vision, to determine whether differences in vision were independent of visual ... -
Corneal graft rejection occurs despite Fas ligand expression and apoptosis of infiltrating cells
(BMJ Publishing Group - http://bjo.bmjjournals.com/, 2005-05)BACKGROUND/AIMS: Constitutive expression of Fas ligand (CD95L) protects the eye against cell mediated immune responses by inducing apoptosis in infiltrating Fas bearing T cells. This study was designed to examine Fas ligand ... -
In vitro adenovirus mediated gene transfer to the human cornea
(BMJ Publishing Group - http://bjo.bmjjournals.com/, 2005-06)BACKGROUND/AIMS: Replication deficient adenovirus is an efficient vector for gene transfer to the cornea. The aim was to optimise the transduction of human corneal endothelium with adenoviral vectors and to measure transgene ... -
Influence of format on in vitro penetration of antibody fragments through porcine cornea
(BMJ Publishing Group - http://bjo.bmjjournals.com/, 2005-09)AIM: Antibody fragments, appropriately formulated, can penetrate through the ocular surface and thus have potential as therapeutic agents. The aim was to investigate the influence of protein fragment format on the kinetics ... -
