Sex-specific lateralization of contraction anisocoria in transient pupillary light reflex.
Contraction anisocoria describes a phenomenon in which the pupil of a directly illuminated eye constricts more than the pupil of the consensual (not illuminated) eye. The purpose of this study was to investigate the lateralization of contraction anisocoria in young female and male subjects. ⋯ These results provide evidence that contraction anisocoria is more laterally asymmetric in males than in females.

Inhibition of corneal inflammation by the TLR4 antagonist Eritoran tetrasodium (E5564).
To investigate the role of the TLR4/MD-2 antagonist eritoran tetrasodium in a murine model of contact lens-associated corneal infiltrates. ⋯ Eritoran tetrasodium is a highly effective antagonist of TLR4/MD-2-dependent corneal inflammation.
