“…Similarly common salivary protein 1 (CSP1), also known as zymogen granule membrane protein, and GP-2 [35], which is the most prevalent zymogen granule glycoprotein and likely binds to proteoglycans such as hyaluronan [36] in the serous cell granule matrix, were also detected. Lacrimal proline-rich protein was identified in lacrimal gland and submandibular gland [37]. These two proteins have been previously identified in NLFs by our group [16].…”

The determination of possible biomarkers in nasal secretion of healthy subjects can have a role in early diagnosis of diseases such as rhinosinusitis. For this purpose, nasal lavage fluids (NLFs) from ten volunteers, collected before and after they had been submitted to nasal provocations, were investigated. Separation and analysis of proteins present in this complex matrix was performed using a capillary liquid chromatography-electrospray-quadrupole-time of flight mass spectrometry equipment. From among a total of 111 proteins found (89 known and two unknown proteins), 42 of which had never been previously described in this fluid, such as Deleted in Malignant Brain Tumors 1 isoform a precursors, and cytoskeletal proteins were identified with high statistical score. Three proteins of palate lung nasal epithelial clone (PLUNC) family: SPLUNC1, LPLUNC1, and LPLUNC2 were identified. Proteins involved in innate (27%) and acquired immunity (21%) systems were major components of NLF. Cellular (52% of all proteins identified) such as cytoskeletal (33%), functional (15%), and regulatory (4%) proteins, normally present in the nasal cavity, have also been identified. The proteomic approach presented here allowed us to identify the proteins involved in acquired and innate immune response in the nose against microbial infections and unclean inhaled air.

“…Three non-visual measures were collected at Visit 1 to investigate whether these tests were potentially prognostic for p-EVES success. These were the Brief Resilience Scale, 9 Finger-to-Nose Test, 10 and an adaptation of the Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination (ACE-III) 11 (excluding the items which use visual information). These measures determined ability to bounce back after set-backs, manual dexterity, and cognitive status, respectively.…”

“…In general, navigation errors were not well predicted by any of the vision or magnifier measures. Navigation errors (particularly during retrace) might be better predicted by other factors, such as hand‐eye co‐ordination or manual dexterity, especially in older people 98 . These motor skills may be amenable to training but further research is required to evaluate this.…”

“…Navigation errors (particularly during retrace) might be better predicted by other factors, such as hand-eye co-ordination or manual dexterity, especially in older people. 98 These motor skills may be amenable to training but further research is required to evaluate this. Similarly, a longitudinal study measuring the changes in navigation skills, magnifier movement strategies and reading performance from the time of first prescription of the magnifier, would enable the factors effecting the improvement in reading performance over time to be examined.…”

The past 40 years has seen a great expansion in low-vision research, which has changed low-vision teaching and our clinical management of people with low vision. Australian optometrists have contributed significantly to this research and the development of multidisciplinary low-vision services. This paper reviews the research that has shaped our clinical assessment and patient management for reading by adults with low vision. The major improvements in clinical assessment of low vision for reading were brought about by the improvements in distance and near visual acuity measurements during the 1970s and research during the 1980s and 1990s showing the factors affecting the reading rate. These changes, together with a different method for representing the magnification provided by optical and electronic systems, allows a scientific, logical and practical method for prescribing magnification. An illustration of the step-by-step approach for prescribing magnification for low-vision reading that is easy to apply in any clinical practice is included.

The Influence of Manual Dexterity on Reading Speed with a Hand-held Magnifier

Abstract: Manual dexterity should be considered as a possible prognostic factor for successful use of a hand-held low-vision aid. It is not known whether the deficit can be overcome with suitable training.
