In what form are the long-chain omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) when ingested from fish? The answer is the triglyceride form. In fact, over 98% of all food-derived fats are in the triglyceride form.

Are plastic frames better than metal

Are plastic frames better than metal

Can the flu cause permanent eye damage

Can the flu cause permanent eye damage


While this process causes lung injury, most flu symptoms are actually caused by the immune response to the virus. The initial immune response involves cells of the innate body's immune system, such as macrophages and neutrophils. These cells express receptors that can detect the presence of the virus. They trigger the alarm by producing small hormone-like molecules called cytokines and chemokines. These indicate to the body that an infection has been detected.

The final result after 6 months to 2 years Patching is certainly an improved function in the majority of cases. However, when the patch is removed, the two eyes often do not work as they should, 3D vision is often not achieved and the other eye suppresses the amblyopic eye, eventually leading to a reduction in visual acuity.
