Serotonin is a biogenic amine that has multiple roles in the human body and is mainly known as the happiness hormone. A new laccase (Lac)-based biosensor has been developed for the qualitative and quantitative determination of serotonin in three dietary supplements from three different manufacturers. The enzyme was immobilized on an organized mesoporous carbon-modified carbon screen-printed electrode (OMC-SPE) by the drop-and-dry method, the active surface being pretreated with glutaraldehyde. With ...

Levodopa is a precursor of dopamine, having important beneficial effects in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease. In this study, levodopa was accurately detected by means of cyclic voltammetry using carbon-based (C-SPCE), mesoporous carbon (MC-SPCE) and ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC-SPCE)-modified screen-printed sensors. Screen-printed carbon sensors were initially used for the electrochemical detection of levodopa in a 10−3 M solution at pH 7.0. The mesoporous carbon with an organized structure led ...

Corneal biomechanical properties reflect the capacity of the cornea to respond to applied mechanical forces. They are an increasingly important domain in ocular pathology, correlated to the diagnosis and evolution of eye diseases such as refractive errors, glaucoma or corneal ectasias. Refractive errors constitute a significant etiology of decreased vision worldwide, with a particular impact in children. Myopic eyes significantly differ from emmetropic eyes in terms of morphology and biomechanics, ...

Vascular cognitive impairment encompasses several types of deficits, ranging from mild cognitive impairment to dementia. Cognitive reserve refers to the brain’s ability to balance damage and improve performance through certain types of brain networks. The purpose of this review was to assess the relationship between reserve in vascular impairment, specifically looking at whether cognitive impairment is influenced by cognitive reserve, identifying significant vascular risk factors and their pathological ...

Background and Objectives: Hyperopia is a refractive error which affects cognitive and social development if uncorrected and raises the risk of primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG). Materials and Methods: The study included only the right eye—40 hyperopic eyes in the study group (spherical equivalent (SE) under pharmacological cycloplegia over 0.50 D), 34 emmetropic eyes in the control group (SE between −0.50 D and +0.50 D). A complete ophthalmological evaluation was performed, including autorefractometry ...

Glaucoma represents the main cause of irreversible blindness in the world and for this consideration, the interest in a quick and precise diagnosis and progression of the disease, prior to the appearance of irreversible damage, has been continuously rising.Glaucoma risk factors are already well known, but current studies reveal that it is necessary to make a proper analysis of the intraocular pressure (IOP) to obtain an accurate diagnosis, so we must take into consideration corneal properties that ...

Keratoconus is a progressive corneal ectasia that may lead to severe visual impairment due to the irregular astigmatism caused by corneal thinning. In addition to its association with atopy, eye rubbing, or genetic component, late reports suggest the involvement of inflammation in the pathogenesis of the disease. Our aim was to determine the concentration of IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, RANTES, IFN gamma, and TNF alpha in the tear film of patients with keratoconus and their first degree family members. We ...

Abstract Background : Despite the fact that keratoconus has been tipically defined as a noninflammatory condition, recent research has promoted the role of inflammatory factors and protein changes of tear film in disease progression. Aims : to determine the level of serum albumin, lactoferrin and lyzozyme in tears of keratoconic patients and their correlations with corneal biomechanical properties. Subjects and methods: 16 eyes of keratoconus patients and 14 eyes of control cases were enrolled in an ...

Keratoconus is a progressive ectatic disorder characterised by irregular myopic astigmatism and loss of visual acuity due to corneal thinning. Corneal collagen crosslinking is the treatment recognised to stop the progression of keratoconus. Our study evaluates and compares visibility and depth of the stromal demarcation line after corneal collagen crosslinking using anterior segment optical coherence tomography between two groups:crosslinking with dextran-based and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose- ...
