TL;DR: Lid wiper epitheliopathy, diagnosed by staining with fluorescein and rose bengal dyes, is a frequent finding when symptoms of dry eye are experienced in the absence of routine clinical dry eye findings.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The LipiFlow System was significantly more effective than the iHeat Warm Compress for adults with meibomian gland dysfunction and dry eye symptoms and these results support its safety and effectiveness in the treatment of MGD and Dry eye symptoms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Meibomian gland diagnostic expressibility: correlation with dry eye symptoms and gland location.
TL;DR: This is the first report to document a correlation between the number of meibomian glands yielding liquid secretion in the lower eyelid and dry eye symptoms, and theNumber of MGYLS varies significantly across the higher eyelid, with the highest number of MgyLS in the nasal third and the lowest number in the temporal third.
Journal ArticleDOI
Psychometric properties and validation of the Standard Patient Evaluation of Eye Dryness questionnaire
TL;DR: The SPEED questionnaire was shown to be a repeatable and valid instrument for measurement of dry eye symptoms and correlated significantly with ocular surface staining and clinical measures of meibomian gland function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fever in honeybee colonies
TL;DR: Honeybees generate a brood-comb fever in response to colonial infection by the heat-sensitive pathogen Ascosphaera apis, suggesting that either honeybee workers detect the infection before symptoms are visible, or that larvae communicate the ingestion of the pathogen.
