Mercury intoxication and ophthalmic involvement: An update review by Cristian de los Santos, J. Carlos Pastor, J. Carlos Pastor, Margarita Calonge, Margarita Calonge, Margarita Calonge

“…Despite the use of some imaging techniques such as in vivo confocal microscopy of the cornea, optical coherence tomography (OCT) of the retina and optic nerve, and functional tests such as electroretinography has helped to solve in part this debate, further studies incorporating other imaging modalities such as autofluorescence, OCT angiography or adaptive optics retinal imaging are needed. This review aims to summarize the published structural and functional alterations found in the visual system of patients suffering from mercury intoxication.…”

The Mass of the Black Hole in NGC 5273 from Stellar Dynamical Modeling by Katie A. Merrell, Eugene Vasiliev, Misty C. Bentz, Monica Valluri, Christopher A. Onken

“…Due to the proximity of the galaxy at 16.6 ± 2.1 Mpc, we were able to resolve and extract the bulk motions of stars near the central black hole using adaptive-optics-assisted observations with the Gemini Near-infrared Integral Field Spectrograph, as well as constrain the large-scale kinematics using archival Spectroscopic Areal Unit for Research and Optical Nebulae spectroscopy. …”

Data on the involvement of endothelin-1 (ET-1) in the dysregulation of retinal veins by Teruyo Kida, Josef Flammer, Hidehiro Oku, Katarzyna Konieczka, Seita Morishita, Taeko Horie, Tsunehiko Ikeda

“…Paques et al. [1] found venous nicking without arteriovenous contact using adaptive optics imaging. Thus, we investigated the potential role of a dysregulation of the retinal vein.While the pathogenesis of retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is still unclear, systemic hypertension and increased level of endothelin-1 (ET-1) are known risk factors (Flammer and Konieczka, 2015) [2]. …”

Sensorless Wavefront Correction Algorithms for Free-Space Optical Communications by Čierny, Ondrej

“…Even in clear conditions, the effects of air turbulence along such links usually necessitate active wavefront correction via adaptive optics (AO). Conventional AO algorithms rely on direct wavefront sensing, an approach that is high in cost and SWaP and usually degrades in strong atmospheric scintillation. …”

Subtle Signatures of Multiplicity in Late-type Dwarf Spectra: The Unresolved M8.5 + T5 Binary 2MASS J03202839–0446358 by Burgasser, Adam J., Liu, Michael C., Ireland, Michael J., Cruz, Kelle L., Dupuy, Trent J.

“…Laser guide star adaptive optics (LGS AO) imaging observations, including the first application of LGS AO aperture mask interferometry, fail to resolve a faint companion, restricting the projected separation of the system to less than 8.3 AU at the time of observation. 2MASS J0320–0446 is the second very low mass binary to be identified from unresolved, low-resolution, near-infrared spectroscopy, a technique that complements traditional high-resolution imaging and spectroscopic methods.…”
