Free radicals and the pH of topical glaucoma medications: a lifetime of ocular chemical injury?
This study is the first to document the range of pH and concentrations of free radicals intrinsically present in commonly used glaucoma medications. Long-term exposure to preservatives, free radicals, and pH levels could all contribute to ocular surface damage. The effect of excipients could be responsible for patient intolerance when changing products in the compromised ocular surface.
HOXB7 predicts poor prognosis of advanced ESCC patients and can be applied as an independent prognostic predictor.
