The multifaceted career of Louis Borsch.

30 Oct 2009 John Louis Borsch Jr, MD (1873-1929), was an ophthalmologist from Philadelphia who spent most of his career in France. During his lifetime he was probably best known as the inventor of the first fused bifocal lens, which was marketed very ... Read more...

Intraocular lens power requirements for humanitarian missions.

29 Sep 2009 PURPOSE: To develop a generalized method to determine an optimum set of intraocular lens (IOL) powers for humanitarian missions. SETTING: Humanitarian missions to Central America, South America, and Southeast Asia. METHODS: Biometric data of adults ... Read more...

Visualizing the beating heart in Drosophila.

26 Sep 2009 The Drosophila heart has recently emerged as a good model system for examining the genetic, cellular, and molecular mechanisms underlying function in myogenic hearts. A key step in examining heart function in the fly is finding a way to access the ... Read more...
