QUANTITATIVE CONE CONTRAST THRESHOLD TESTING IN PATIENTS WITH DIFFERING PATHOPHYSIOLOGICAL MECHANISMS CAUSING RETINAL DISEASES

Quantitative cone contrast threshold testing in patients with differing pathophysiological mechanisms causing retinal diseases

Abstract Background Cone contrast threshold testing (CCT) provides quantitative measurements of color and contrast function to reveal changes in vision quality that are not standard endpoints in clinical trials.We utilize CCT to measure visual function glove in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), age-related macular degeneration (AMD), epiretina

Experimental investigation of the ignition dynamics in a premixed annular combustor using a pre-chamber ignition system

In this paper, protein complex the ignition characteristics in a MICCA-type annular combustor are studied for the first time using a pre-chamber combustion (PCC) system.The PCC is proposed to replace the traditional spark electrode ignitor in the annular combustor, aiming to shorten ignition time and prevent misfiring.The PCC system is commonly uti

Field Deployment of a Mobile Biosafety Laboratory Reveals the Co-Circulation of Dengue Viruses Serotype 1 and Serotype 2 in Louga City, Senegal, 2017

Dengue virus (DENV) is the most prevalent arboviral threat worldwide.This virus belonging to genus Flavivirus, Flaviviridae family, is responsible for a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations, ranging from asymptomatic or mild febrile illness (dengue fever) to life-threatening infections (severe dengue).Many sporadic cases and outbreaks have occu
