A novel double nucleotide variant in the ferritin‐L iron‐responsive element in a Finnish patient with hereditary hyperferritinaemia‐cataract syndrome

Abstract

After excluding other causes, elevated serum ferritin level in a person with early onset cataract is indicative for HHCS, a genetic disorder caused by mutation in the IRE of the FTL.

Ocular implants-methods of ocular reconstruction following radical surgical interventions

“…Looking at the chemical, physical, and structural characteristics of orbital implants, comparative studies on such topics are quite rare in the literature. It has been recognized that adequate fibro-vascularization is vital for a porous implant to achieve long-term success: chemical composition, microstructure, and mechanical features are all factors that play a role, but there is a wide variation in these characteristics among the available materials [ 31 ].…”
