Differences in human tears in ALS can distinguish bulbar-onset disease from spinal-onset ALS, making this a possible ...

To evaluate the effect of upper eyelid ptosis repairwith Muller muscle-conjunctival resection on meibomian gland function and ocular surface parameters. Thirty-eight patients who underwent ptosis ...

Sjögren's disease primarily affects the salivary and lacrimal glands, resulting in tissue inflammation characterized by the formation of tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS), and a loss of glandular ...

The tear sac can become inflamed and swell, resulting in dacryocystitis. This condition often triggers watery eyes, redness, and eye discharge. Tears are produced by the lacrimal glands located at the ...

Restoration of lacrimal gland function is important, as is implementation of aggressive immunosuppression. Future advancements in stem cell biology, tissue engineering, bioartificial microsystems ...

This study aimed to evaluate the morphometric and volumetric dimensions of the lacrimal gland in patients with inactive thyroid eye disease and compare them with the values reported in the literature.

During menopause, androgen hormone levels decrease, impacting the meibomian and lacrimal glands. The glands can become inflamed and produce fewer tears of poorer quality. Menopausal women with dry ...

The weight was 90 kg, and the body-mass index (the weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in meters) was 30.1. She had no proptosis, enlargement of the lacrimal glands ...

The less common form of dry eye is aqueous-deficient dry eye, which results from a lowered aqueous (watery fluid) production from the lacrimal glands (glands that produce tears). Aqueous-deficient ...

Tears containing less oil evaporate more quickly, leading to eyelid inflammation and dry eyes. The less common form of dry eye is aqueous-deficient dry eye, which results from a lowered aqueous ...

Mainly due to the infiltration of lymphoplasmic cells into the exocrine glands, especially the salivary glands and lacrimal glands, resulting in reduced tear and saliva secretion. Reduced tear flow ...

The second layer is the intermediate aqueous layer; this layer forms the majority of the tears and is derived from the main lacrimal gland with minor contributions from the accessory lacrimal ...
