Do corneal thickness indices discriminate between keratoconus and contact lens-induced corneal thinning?
Corneal thickness indices generated from the Orbscan CTS appear to be sensitive and specific for diagnosing keratoconus. These indices may prove to be clinically useful parameters for distinguishing keratoconus from contact lens-induced corneal thinning.
Intramural injection with daily intraperitoneal administration of low-dose EGF enhances the bursting pressure and collagen accumulation in ischemic anastomosis, improving many histological variables associated with ischemic intestinal anastomosis.
