Search for: [Abstract = "The current research suggests new directions in medical diagnosis because cataract removal is the most commonly performed surgical procedure in the world. The application of the PIXE method has shown numerous advantages over other methods of determining the content of bioelements due to its high accuracy, ease of sample preparation and large amount of information obtained from a single study. Based on the studies conducted in the 101 patients with diabetes or glaucoma or none of these diseases, the following conclusions were drawn\:1. Disease \(diabetes, glaucoma\) affects the content of bioelements \(Ca, Fe, Zn\) in cataractous lenses. The highest Zn content was found in the samples taken from the lens of glaucoma patients.2. Correlation analysis did not confirm the relationship between all the factors involved.3. Gender does not affect the content of bioelements \(Ca, Fe, Zn\) in opaque lenses. 4. Decision analysis indicated elevated iron content above 16 ppm in opaque lenses in patients with diabetes mellitus, and in the case of glaucoma patients, a high calcium content of over 449 ppm and zinc above 80 ppm was observed."]
