Longer axial lengths, preoperative glaucoma drop use appear to raise the risk for hypotony following vitrectomy for epiretinal membrane.

Aim: To address the cellular components and the contractile mechanisms of the idiopathic epiretinal membrane (ERM). Methods: Ten surgically removed ERMs were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde and analysed ...

Epiretinal Membrane (ERM) is a disease caused by a thin layer of scar tissue that is formed on the surface of the retina. When this membrane appears over the macula, it can cause distorted or blurred ...

Here we evaluated the efficacy of a new lutein-based vital dye (LB-VD) for selective staining of the vitreous body and posterior hyaloid in patients undergoing 25 G vitrectomy for idiopathic ...

Immunohistochemical analyses were performed to determine the expressions of CD68, CD163 and periostin in the surgically resected FVMs and idiopathic epiretinal membranes (ERMs). Results The ...

Biofilm buildup on water filtration membranes impedes flow, increases energy consumption, and diminishes filtration efficacy resulting in public health concerns. Recently, antifouling technology ...

Endocytosis has been the bane of the intracellular delivery efficiency of nanoscale systems. A class of delivery systems, viz., cell membrane-coated nanoparticles (CMNPs), show efficacious and even ...
