Corneal Endothelial Blebs Induced in Scleral Lens WearersSIGNIFICANCE In the bleb phenomenon, some endothelial cells transiently lose their specular reflection. This has been reported during contact lens wear and goggle-induced hypoxia or hypercapnia. PURPOSE The purposes of this study were to determine whether blebs appear after scleral lens wear and if their appearance is influenced by lens clearance and to compare bleb and cell sizes. METHODS Twenty-one subjects were fitted with two similar scleral...

The hTERT -VNTR2-2 nd alleles are involved in genomic stability in gastrointestinal cancerAbstractBackgroundhTERT contains a high density of minisatellites, of which rare alleles of hTERT-VNTR2-2nd have been reported to be associated with prostate cancer. This shows an association between VNTR and cancer, but this repeat sequence is likely to be associated with genomic instability. Therefore, we investigated the effects of hTERT-VNTR2-2nd on gastrointestinal cancer and the relationship between repeated...

The impact of climate change on migration: a synthesis of recent empirical insightsAbstractConcern about the human impact of climate change has led to predictions of how people living in areas vulnerable to drought, flood, and temperature changes will respond to such events. Early studies warned that climate change would lead to dramatic increases in human migration as households became unable to adapt to the impacts of climate change. More recently, empirical studies focused on observed climate...
