Laser vision correction surgery, or refractive eye surgery, is an increasingly popular procedure that treats nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. The surgery allows people who wear eyeglasses or contacts to no longer need prescription lenses.Other laser vision correction proceduresThe most common alternative to LASIK is called PRK (photorefractive keratectomy). PRK works best in people with low-to-moderate nearsightedness and who have thin corneas or dry eyes. In this technique, surgeons...

SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) is the latest advancement in laser vision correction to treat nearsightedness. The SMILE procedure is minimally invasive, and involves removing a small piece of tissue from the cornea with a laser, rather than creating a flap or altering the surface. Most patients feel no pain during or after the procedure, and are able to return to their daily activities quickly.

LASIK (Laser-Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis) is the most common type of refractive surgery and is recommended to treat varying degrees of nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. This outpatient procedure is quick and relatively painless, and generally results in minimal post-operative pain and rapid vision recovery. During LASIK, the surgeon makes a small flap in the cornea, which is a clear, dome-shaped surface that covers the front of the eye, and folds it back. Then a laser reshapes...

Role of serum amyloid A in atherosclerosis,Purpose of review Acute phase serum amyloid A (SAA) is persistently elevated in chronic inflammatory conditions, and elevated levels predict cardiovascular risk in humans. More recently, murine studies have demonstrated that over-expression of SAA increases and deficiency/suppression of SAA attenuates atherosclerosis. Thus, beyond being a biomarker, SAA appears to play a causal role in atherogenesis. The purpose of this review is to summarize the data supporting...

Is hypertriglyceridemia atherogenic?Purpose of review Hypertriglyceridemia occurs mainly because of metabolic disorders secondary to diabetes, alcohol intake, and/or overweight. Genetic factors have also been clearly identified in most severe cases. Triglycerides are generally considered as 'bystanders' for cardiovascular diseases. However, biological and basic research provides strong data suggesting that triglyceride-rich lipoproteins could be involved in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular diseases....
