6. 4. Development and repair of cataract induced by ultraviolet radiation

   Author : Ralph Michael; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ultraviolet radiation; cataract; forward light scattering; lens ultrastructure; refractive index; dose-response; repeated exposure; apoptosis; in vivo; rat;

   Abstract : Background: Several epidemiological investigations show a correlation between cataract development and the dose of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) received. It is experimentally well established that exposure of animal eyes to UVR induces cataract. Most cataracts develop as a gradual increase in lens opacity. READ MORE

7. 5. Meta-analysis of randomized clinical evidence of chemotherapy, radiotherapy and endocrine therapy in breast cancer
