    • A protein dye-binding assay on cellulose membranes for tear protein quantification: Use of conventional ... 
      López Cisternas, Juan; Castillo Díaz, Jessica; Traipe Castro, Leonidas; López Solís, Remigio (2007)
      PURPOSE: To develop a method to quantify tear protein concentration with the sensitivity to measure this variable in the restricted volumes of single human tear samples. METHODS: Aliquots of tear fluid from healthy subjects ...
    • Dynamics of tear fluid desiccation on a glass surface: a contribution to tear quality assessment 
      Traipe Castro, Leonidas; Salinas Toro, Daniela; López, Daniela; Mazolli, Mario; Srur, Miguel; Valenzuela, Felipe; Cáceres, Aníbal; Toledo Araya, Héctor; López Solís, Remigio (BioMed Central, 2014)
      Background: Fern-like crystalloids form when a microvolume of tear is allowed to dry out at ambient conditions on a glass surface. Presence of crystalloids in tear “microdesiccates” is used to evaluate patients with ...
    • Is Biceps Femoris Aponeurosis Size an Independent Risk Factor for Strain Injury? 
      Freitas, Sandro R.; Abrantes, Filipe; Santos, Francisco; Mascarenhas, Vasco; Oliveira, Raúl; Firmino, Telmo; Mendes, Bruno; Cerda, Mauricio; Vaz, Joao R. (Georg Thieme Verlag, 2020)
      This study examined whether professional footballers with previous biceps femoris long head (BF (LH) ) injury in the last 3-years present a smaller proximal aponeurosis (Apo-BF (LH) ) size compared to footballers with no ...
    • Microdesiccates produced from normal human tears display four distinctive morphological components 
      López Solís, Remigio; Traipe Castro, Leonidas; Salinas Toro, Daniela; Srur, Miguel; Toledo Araya, Héctor (2013)
      Desiccation of human tears on glass surfaces results in fern-like crystalloids. This phenomenon has been associated with tear normality (Tear Ferning Test, TFT) and is used as a diagnostic aid to evaluate patients with ...
    • Progress in tear microdesiccate analysis by combining various transmitted-light microscope techniques 
      Traipe Salas, Felipe; Traipe Castro, Leonidas; Salinas Toro, Daniela; López, Daniela; Valenzuela, Felipe; Cartes, Christian; Toledo Araya, Héctor; Pérez, Claudio; López Solís, Remigio (Sociedad de Biología de Chile, 2016)
      Background: Tear desiccation on a glass surface followed by transmitted-light microscopy has served as diagnostic test for dry eye. Four distinctive morphological domains (zones I, II, III and transition band) have been ...
    • Stratification of Tear Components During Tear Microdesiccation on Vertical Glass Surfaces: A Novel Approach ... 
      López Solís, Remigio; Salinas Toro, Daniela; López, Daniela; Segovia, Christian; Villar, Katherine; Agueero, Paz; Valenzuela, Felipe; Traipe Castro, Leonidas (Wolters Kluwer Health, 2015)
      Purpose:Tear desiccation on a horizontal glass surface followed by low-resolution light microscopy has been used as an expeditious diagnostic aid to evaluate patients suspected of dry eye. The presence of fern-like ...
    • Use of polyurethane minisponges to collect human tear fluid 
      López Cisternas, Juan; Castillo Díaz, Jessica; Traipe Castro, Leonidas; López Solís, Remigio (2006)
      Purpose: To characterize a method of tear collection based on the use of amphiphilic polyurethane absorbing minisponges. Methods: Tear fluid was collected from 17 healthy volunteers. A preweighed polyurethane dry minisponge ...
