With non-contact tonometry (NCT), a gentle puff of air flattens the cornea. This is why it is also called the "air puff" test.6Many prefer this test because it does not involve touching the eye with a probe. Studies have shown that this test is accurate even if the patient is weari...
However, the H-reflex does not allow inferences on the potential role of supraspinal mechanisms implicated in the reduction of MVC force/torque post DR. A recent study reported an increased corticospinal excitability (assessed through motor-evoked potentials elicited by transcranial magnetic stimulation ...
Eccentric muscle contractions occur when the magnitude of the force applied to the muscle exceeds the strength produced by the muscle itself (i.e. negative work), resulting in a lengthening action of the musculotendinous system. Eccentric muscle contractions are known to induce high mechanical strai...
The diagnosis and decision to initiate treatment is based on a comprehensive glaucoma workup that includes a detailed case history, slit lamp biomicroscopy, tonometry, pachymetry, gonioscopy, retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and ganglion cell complex imaging, perimetry and dilated optic nerve asses...
so the patient receives one seamless solution. Depending on the complexity of a patient’s condition, this could include 5-8 key points of contact, but they should be so integrated the patient does not see a difference. At the end of the day, what is important is that people receive...

we decided in this work to focus on the active sites of hemoglobin, the heme and its iron. After measuring adsorption isotherms of porcine hemoglobin on Ludox silica nanoparticles, we analyzed the structural modifications of adsorbed hemoglobin by X-ray absorption spectroscopy and circular dichroism ...
