1 Baehr, WolfgangCloning and molecular characterization of cGMP-gated ion channels from rod and cone photoreceptors of striped bass ( M. saxatilis ) retinaVertebrate photoreceptors respond to light with changes in membrane conductance that reflect the activity of cyclic-nucleotide gated channels (CNG channels). The functional features of these channels differ in rods and cones; to understand the basis of these differences we cloned CNG channels from t...Amino Acid Sequence; Computational Biology; Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction2006
2 Zhang, KangHeterozygous and homozygous mutations in PITX3 in a large Lebanese family with posterior polar cataracts and neurodevelopmental abnormalitiesPURPOSE: The PITX3 gene, which codes for a homeobox bicoidlike transcription factor is responsible for dominant cataract and anterior segment mesenchymal dysgenesis in humans. In the current study, a family with autosomal dominant posterior polar cataract (PPC) and a PITX3 mutation that cosegregates...Chromosomes, Human, Pair 10; Homozygote; Lod Score2006
3 Warner, Judith E. A.Intermittent reversal of Complete Ptosis-EganWarnerCASE REPORT: Ptosis secondary to dense oculomotor pareses generally improves over several months, but intermittent elevation of the eyelid has not been reported. The Author's describe two patients who demonstrated intermittent involuntary monocular eyelid elevation in an eye with complete ptosis cau...Eyelids; Ophthalmoplegia; Intraoperative Complications2006
4 Mamalis, Nick; Nilson, Christian D.Outbreak of toxic anterior segment syndrome following cataract surgery associated with impurities in autoclave steam moisture.BACKGROUND: Toxic anterior segment syndrome (TASS), a complication of cataract surgery, is a sterile inflammation of the anterior chamber of the eye. An outbreak of TASS was recognized at an outpatient surgical center and its affiliated hospital in December 2002. METHODS: Medical records of patients...Toxic anterior segment syndrome; cataract surgery; autoclave steam moisture2006
5 Mamalis, Nick; Kleinmann, Guy; Chew, Jesse; Apple, David J.Suturing a tear of the anterior capsulorhexisAIM: To describe a new technique of suturing a tear in the anterior capsulorhexis. METHODS: Continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (CCC) with lens removal was done in five fresh cadaver eyes. The diameter of the CCC was measured with a calliper. Using the same calliper a tear of the CCC was created wh...Continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis; intraocular lens implantation; tear2006
