Molecules, Vol. 28, Pages 3696: The Evaluation of Activity of Selected Lactic Acid Bacteria for Bioconversion of Milk and Whey from Goat Milk to Release Biomolecules with Antibacterial Activity
Adzahan The aim of the study was to assess the antibacterial features of functional macromolecules released during the fermentation of goat milk and whey from goat milk by selected lactic acid bacteria strains that are components of kefir grain microflora. Two milk sources were used: goat milk and whey from goat milk. The lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and indicator microorganisms used were Lactobacillus plantarum PCM 1386, Lactobacillus fermentum PCM 491, Lactobacillus rhamnosus PCM 2677, Lactobacillus acidophilus PCM 2499, Escherichia coli PCM 2793, Salmone...

TFOS Lifestyle: Impact of elective medications and procedures on the ocular surface
This report describes the impact of elective topical and systemic medications and procedures on the ocular surface and the underlying mechanisms. Moreover, elective procedures performed for ocular diseases, cosmetic enhancement, and non-ophthalmic interventions, such as radiotherapy and bariatric surgery, are discussed. The report also evaluates significant anatomical and biological consequences of non-urgent interventions to the ocular surface, such as neuropathic and neurotrophic keratopathies. Besides that, it provides an overview of the prophylaxis and management of pathological conditions resulting from the studied in...

LASIK Flap dislocation masquerading as corneal abrasion: lessons and pearls.
Laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) is one of the most common refractive procedures performed. Postoperative complications include traumatic flap dislocation which can lead to flap striae, epithelial ingrowth, diffuse lamellar keratitis, loss of corrected and uncorrected vision among others if not addressed in time (1,2). However, most cases of trauma are first seen by emergency medicine team members who may not be well versed with the anatomy of a Lasik flap and therefore can find it difficult to differentiate between Lasik flap dislocation and a circumlinear corneal abrasion.

Safety and Precision of Two Different Flap-morphologies Created During Low Energy Femtosecond Laser-assisted LASIK
CONCLUSION: In this prospective, randomized, contralateral eye study, the low-energy fs laser yielded predictable lamellar flap thicknesses and geometry at one-month follow-up. Based on these results, efficacy and safety of the corresponding laser application, that is, 2D vs 3D, are equivalent.PMID:36937201 | PMC:PMC10020788 | DOI:10.18502/jovr.v18i1.12720 (Source: Journal of Ophthalmic and Vision Research)
