Fluorescein

The accuracy and precision lab had four parts to it. Part one started with getting a dry 100 mL beaker and putting 60mL of distilled water into it. Next you sit the beaker on a bench or ring stand and set the thermometer, allowing two minutes for the thermometer to stabalize. Using a 10 mL pipet and bulb pipet, one should pipet exactly 10mL of distilled water into a pre- weighed 50mL beaker. Measure and record the water's mass. One will use the same balance forthe rest of the experiment. One will

exam. You may have tests, such as: • A vision test. • An exam to check your retina after getting eye drops to open the pupil (slit-lamp exam). • An imaging study of your retinal blood flow after dye has been injected into your bloodstream (fluorescein angiogram). • A measurement of the pressure inside your

An acute red eye is one of the most common reasons why children present to the pediatrician or adults present to their primary care physician. Although most cases of acute red eye are caused by self-limiting and benign conjunctivitis, it is important to distinguish when a more serious pathology is present that may require a non-urgent or urgent ophthalmologic referral. A thorough history of the illness is one of the most important tools that pediatricians have to determine whether the patient can

DRY EYES SYNDROME Description It represents a diverse group of conditions characterized by symptoms of ocular discomfort and is associated with decreased tear production and/or abnormally rapid tear film evaporation. Abnormality in preocular tear film results in ocular surface damage and dry eyes and affects 15% in elderly, especially females and 20-30% in contact lens wearers. Dry eye occurs when the eye does not produce tears properly, or when the tears are not of the correct consistency and evaporate

Have you ever thought to yourself, what is Down Syndrome? How is it possible to get Down Syndrome? Why do they look the way they do? Well, lots of people can get Down Syndrome. Although most people have heard of Down Syndrome, they don’t truly understand its characteristics, its type its Medical condition, and how Down Syndrome occurs. What is Down Syndrome? Down syndrome is where an individual has a full or partial extra copy of chromosome 21. (NDSS) Also, every cell in the body contains genes

symptoms. Patients will have 20/20 vision in this type of case. To detect non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy the only way is by fundus photography in which microaneurysms where microscopic blood-filled bulges in the artery walls can be seen. Fluorescein angiography can be done to see the back of the eye if there is reduced vision. Reduction or overfilled retinal blood vessels can be perceived clearly and this is called retinal ischemia due to the lack of blood flow. The blood vessels leak their

This test helps measure the severity of central vision loss. Another exam is the Fluorescein angiogram which according to the National Eye Institute, is done by an ophthalmologist, and requires a fluorescent dye to be injected into the arm. As the dye flows through the blood stream, pictures of the eye are taken, allowing the doctor to

Within the past few days, the news has been covering the story of KJ, a 52-year-old woman in Omaha, Nebraska. During a traumatic motor vehicle accident a few years ago, KJ hit her face against the dashboard and started having severe migraines and constant runny nose. Multiple doctors have seen her since, most of them blame the runny nose on allergies and attempted to treat her with numerous allergies medications. This year, KJ was being seen by physicians at Nebraska Medicine and finally discovered

Cancer lies resting in all of us; all the living organisms such as our bodies are consistently making defective cells1. This is how tumors are developed. Our bodies are provided with a number of mechanisms that can detect and keep such cells in check1. Breast Cancer (BC), is the most common malignancy found in women worldwide, and it is associated with high morbidity and mortality2. These breast tumors are made up of different characteristics of breast cancer cells3. However, toxicity and chemoresistance
