There is no doubt that the FDA would prefer the use of biometric signatures, i.e., a signature based on a unique physical attribute, such as a fingerprint or a retinal scan. When the rule was first drafted, this type of technology was not nearly robust enough. That situation is changing quickly, and devices are appearing where the necessary robustness is within reach. Nevertheless, systems will continue to be developed for some time where a unique combination of an identifier and a secret password will be necessary.

Both the powder spectrum (a) from randomly oriented PM patches and the tilt series (b) over sample inclinations, a = 0, 45° and 90°, were recorded at — 60 °C (number of scans, 1.7 x 105, for a = 0°). Spectrum (c) was measured at 21 °C with a = 0° (number of scans, 3 x 105). Reprinted with permission from Reference 60. Copyright (1997) American Chemical Society...

The future of the batch record is a paperless system that will record data directly from equipment (start times, weights, temperatures, fill speed, etc.) and use recognition systems such as retinal eye scans for employee signatures. For some, the future is already here in one form or another, but for the... 

Hayasaka et al. [157] reported the determination of the fatty acid distribution in mouse retina by using AgNPs in nano-PALDI-IMS. The sections were sliced to a thickness of 10 pm and sprayed with AgNPs or DHB matrix solution at 50 mg/mL in 70 % methanol/0.1%TFA. The mouse retinal sections were analyzed at a high spatial resolution with a scan pitch of 10 pm. The MS images showed the distribution of palmitic acid, linoleic acid, oleic acid, stearic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), arachidonic acid, and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). 

The eyes should be examined for retinal changes. If stenosis of an artery is suspected, further tests, scans and angiography are carried out. 

Vitreous fluorophotometry is a noninvasive quantitative method for measuring small amounts of fluorescein in various ocular compartments, including assessment of the blood-retinal barrier. Both slit-lamp-based and objective scanning fluorometers have been used to characterize the fluorescence of the vitreous in health and disease. 

ICG s primary use is as a fluorescent dye for retinal and choroidal angiography. Its low fluorescence property initially limited its use in angiography smdies. Improvements in video technology, the introduction of appropriate excitation and barrier filters, and the development of the scanning laser ophthalmoscope with a modification to permit infrared recording ultimately allowed choroidal angiograms with high temporal and spatial resolution. 

Indirect ophthalmoscopic assessment of the optic nerve head and retinal nerve fiber layer at the slit lamp should, whenever possible, be augmented by other techniques such as direct ophthalmoscopy, retinal photography, and/or scanning laser ophthalmoscopy.

A baby was born missing its right ear and external auditory canal. At 20 months an MRI scan of the brain showed focal atrophy and encephalomalacia of the right parieto-occipital lobe. His mother had used topical tretinoin (Retin A 0.025%) on her face and a large surface of the back before conception and during the first 2-3 months of pregnancy. His father had used oral isotretinoin before conception.
