Does central corneal thickness correlate with oxygen levels in the human anterior chamber angle?
Physiologic correlations with central corneal thickness may provide clues to understanding why a thinner cornea increases the risk of open glaucoma. Associations between glaucoma risk, CCT, and pO2 in the AC angle suggest that exposure of the outflow system to increased oxygen or oxygen metabolites may increase oxidative damage to the trabecular meshwork cells, resulting in elevation of intraocular pressure.
Pretransplant serum CRP levels can predict prognoses in patients undergoing LT for HCC, especially in patients with HCC exceeding the Milan criteria.
