Magnesiohastingsite is a calcium-containing amphibole and a member of the hornblende group. [5] It is an inosilicate (chain silicate) with the formula NaCa 2 (Mg 4 Fe 3+)(Si 6 Al 2)O 22 (OH) 2 [1] and molar mass 864.69 g. [2]
The structures of solid magnesium citrates have been characterized by X-ray crystallography.In the 1:1 salt, only one carboxylate of citrate is deprotonated. It has the formula Mg(H 2 C 6 H 5 O 7) 2 The other form of magnesium citrate has the formula Mg(HC 6 H 5 O 7)(H 2 O) 2, consisting of the citrate dianion (both carboxylic acids are deprotonated). [1]
The blood–ocular barrier is a barrier created by endothelium of capillaries of the retina and iris, ciliary epithelium and retinal pigment epithelium. [1] It is a physical barrier between the local blood vessels and most parts of the eye itself, and stops many substances including drugs from traveling across it. [ 2 ]
Often, this light beam is narrowed into a vertical "slit", during slit-lamp examination. The examiner views the illuminated ocular structures, through an optical system that magnifies the image of the eye and the patient is seated while being examined, and the head stabilized by an adjustable chin rest and a bar around the forehead.
Ocular albinism, type 1 (OA1) 300500: GPR143: Also known as Nettleship–Falls syndrome, [4] [5] [6] is the most common variety of ocular albinism. OA1 is usually associated with nystagmus, and difficult to otherwise detect in females; males show more readily observable symptoms. Ocular albinism, type 2 (OA2) 300600: CACNA1F [7]
