What's the difference between pellucidity and pellucidness?

Pellucidity


Definition:

  • (n.) Alt. of Pellucidness

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Three patients had pellucid marginal corneal degeneration complicated by corneal edema.
  • (2) Our computer-based corneal topography analysis system was used to study the keratoscope photographs (keratograms) from two patients with classic pellucid marginal degeneration and a third patient with no inferior corneal thinning, whose keratoscope mire pattern was suggestive of the condition.
  • (3) We performed central pachymetry on two patients with pellucid and Terrien's corneal marginal degeneration with mean central corneal thicknesses of .487 mm and .466 mm, respectively.
  • (4) Pellucid marginal corneal degeneration is a bilateral disease characterized by a narrow band of corneal thinning localized 1-2 mm from the inferior limbus.
  • (5) Follicles were classified on the basis of the number of layers of follicle cells, the presence and degree of development of the zone pellucide, and the presence of an antrum.
  • (6) Pellucid marginal degeneration of the cornea is a bilateral, clear, inferior, peripheral corneal-thinning disorder.
  • (7) A successful corneal wedge resection was performed to correct the visual impairment in the left eye of a 30-year-old male who suffered from bilateral pellucid marginal degeneration.
  • (8) There were 53 patients with keratoconus, 5 with pellucid marginal corneal degeneration, 2 with keratoglobus, and 1 with superior corneal thinning.
  • (9) The morphologic changes with age concern the height of the 3rd ventricle, the extension of the pellucid septum and the stereotaxic topography.
  • (10) Five eyes in four patients with pellucid marginal corneal degeneration were treated by lamellar crescentic resection of the thinned area inferiorly.
  • (11) When idiopathic peripheral corneal thinning remains clear, it is regarded as pellucid degeneration; vascularization, scarring, and lipid keratopathy are regarded as Terrien's marginal degeneration.
  • (12) Crescent-shaped, deep corneal scars were observed in seven (39%) of 18 patients with pellucid marginal corneal degeneration.
  • (13) Quantitation of relative staining intensity found keratoconus and pellucid marginal degeneration corneas to be 49% and 40% as intensely stained, respectively, as normal corneas, a statistically significant decrease (P less than 0.01).
  • (14) Dissolution of the pellucid membrane by brief ATP treatment reveals a zygotic surface which changes from day to day.
  • (15) This article reports a case of bilateral corneal pellucid marginal degeneration.
  • (16) Monoclonal antibody against keratan sulfate (KS) was used for immunofluorescent staining of sections of human corneas from 8 normal eyes, 19 with keratoconus, 4 with pellucid marginal degeneration, 5 with primary macular corneal dystrophy, and 1 with recurrent macular corneal dystrophy.
  • (17) We believe that penetrating keratoplasty offers an excellent surgical result for patients with pellucid marginal corneal degeneration.
  • (18) The ocular lens somehow remains pellucid despite bombardment by ultraviolet radiation and endogenous hydrogen peroxide (present in the humoral fluids which bathe this tissue).
  • (19) The decreased KS staining was not localized in stromal scar tissue found in the keratoconus and pellucid marginal degeneration corneas.
  • (20) American ophthalmologists are generally not familiar with the condition because most of the literature concerning pellucid degeneration is European.
