Fully automated computer system for diagnosis of corneal diseases. Development of image processing technologies for the diagnosis of Acanthamoeba and Fusarium diseases in confocal microscopy images
… keratitis which considered sight-threatening corneal diseases. However, it can be difficult to find and train confocal microscopy graders to accurately detect Acanthamoeba cysts and fungal filaments in the images. Use of an automated system could overcome this problem and help to start the …

Investigation of relative expression level of SLC4 bicarbonate transporter family in mouse and Human corneal endothelial cells
… solutes and ions, crucial for the maintenance of corneal transparency. Several members (SLC4A11, SLC4A4) have been implicated in corneal diseases in human. Aim: To characterize relative expression levels of SLC4 members in mouse and human corneal endothelium, using qRT-PCR, to identify further …

Efficient Processing of Corneal Confocal Microscopy Images. Development of a computer system for the pre-processing, feature extraction, classification, enhancement and registration of a sequence of corneal images.
Corneal diseases are one of the major causes of visual impairment and blindness worldwide. Used for diagnoses, a laser confocal microscope provides a sequence of images, at incremental depths, of the various corneal layers and structures. From these, ophthalmologists can extract clinical …

Feline Leukemia Virus Detection in Corneal Tissues of Cats by Polymerase Chain Reaction and Immunohistochemistry
Corneal transplantation carries a high rate of success in the domestic cat and is an indicated treatment for specific corneal diseases in this species. The potential for iatrogenic transmission of viral diseases is a well-recognized problem in human corneal transplantation programs and screening …

Comparison of conjunctival pedicle flap to corneal adhesion achieved by Tisseel® fibrin glue, ethyl cyanoacrylate adhesive, ReSure® hydrogel sealant, and conventional suturing with 8-0 VICRYL® suture
… used to address a variety of sight threatening corneal diseases in veterinary ophthalmic practice. Securing the conjunctiva to the cornea is typically achieved through suturing, which is technically challenging and can result in prolonged surgical times, increased corneal edema, increased scar …
