1.	Wounds and Injuries (Trauma) 03/01/1984 - "These results indicate that the endothelium of corneas preserved by organ culture at 34 degrees C and then placed in M-K medium at 4 degrees C for 2 days may be more susceptible to surgical trauma than those preserved only in M-K medium at 4 degrees C." 01/01/1981 - "To examine the effect of trephine tilting and scleral ring placement on wound size, five corneas from McCarey-Kaufman medium and ten whole eyes were trephined centrally under controlled conditions and the major and minor axes measured. " 09/01/1989 - "(1) Addition of either EGF (10 ng/ml) + indomethacin (1 microM), or EGF (10 ng/ml) alone to the M-K medium statistically significantly shortened the wound closure time as compared with the control group. "
2.	Infections 01/01/1984 - "Streptococcal agents now account for 50-59% of the total number of reported cases of M-K medium contamination by donor tissue with resultant infection in the host. " 07/01/1979 - "A patient had corneal infection with Staphylococcus aureus after keratoplasty from tissue preserved in McCarey-Kaufman medium. "
3.	Streptococcal Infections (Streptococcal Infection) 01/01/1984 - "These cases may represent the third and fourth cases of donor-to-host transmission of streptococcal infection by corneas stored in McCarey-Kaufman (M-K) medium. " 01/01/1984 - "Donor-to-host transmission of streptococcal infection by corneas stored in McCarey-Kaufman medium."
4.	Endophthalmitis (Ophthalmia) 01/01/1989 - "Our experience with three cases of Streptococcus viridans endophthalmitis, following penetrating keratoplasty, prompted us to investigate the ability of gentamicin-supplemented McCarey-Kaufman (M-K) medium to kill S. "
5.	Keratoconus 09/01/1980 - "A successful penetrating keratoplasty was performed on a 25-year-old keratoconus patient inadvertently using a 79-year-old donor cornea which had been stored for 32 days at 4 degrees C in M-K medium. "
