Aniridia is a condition in which the iris, the colored portion of the eye, is either partially or completely absent. The iris is responsible for regulating the amount of light entering the eye by adjusting the size of the pupil.
Aniridia can either be a congenital condition, often a
OMS302 is a mydriatic/anti-inflammatory combination investigational drug product being developed for use during intraoperative lens replacement (ILR). This study evaluates the effect of OMS302 on the signs of Floppy Iris Syndrome in subjects with a history of tamsulosin exposure who are undergoing
At present, human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) remains a major health threat in immune compromised patients. Especially HCMV will cause blind and death in HIV-1 infected person. Currently, few antiviral drugs can be chosen for treatment of HCMV infection. Besides, more and more drug resistant virus
Early graft function has a long-term effect on graft survival. Poor early graft function and delayed graft function (DGF) contributes to decreased short- and long-term patient and graft survival, increased incidence of acute rejection, prolonged hospitalization, and higher costs of transplantation.
IMPAACT P1073 is a prospective clinical, observational and pathogenesis study of HIV-infected infants and children who are ART-naïve and will be initiating a HAART regimen at an IMPAACT study site. Where possible, infants and children co-enrolled in IMPAACT studies will be given preference for
This is a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study testing the utility of a CCR5 antagonist (Maraviroc) as an adjuvant to a standard HAART regimen to decrease the incidence of Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome (IRIS) in HIV-infected patients naïve to antiretroviral
Hypothesis 1 Intestinal ischemia during and following Caridac Arrest leads to increased gut permeability and endotoxin release that stimulates the Systemic Inflammatory Response that is responsible for subsequent death and disability after resuscitation.
Hypothesis 2: Different degrees of systemic
There is currently little understanding of the mechanisms by which respiratory infections can cause severe illness and death. The emergence of Influenza A subtype (H1N1) as a major cause of childhood severe illness in 2009 permitted further study of how this virus triggers severe disease, and how
Uveitis, an inflammation that affects the uvea (iris, ciliary body and choroid), is an important cause of visual loss. There are 30,000 new cases of legal blindness each year due to uveitis in the U.S. Sight-threatening complications associated with uveitis include macular edema, which may persist
The purpose of this project is to evaluate the ability of a heparin-surface modified intraocular lens to reduce the incidence and severity of post-operative inflammation in patients with uveitis undergoing extracapsular cataract surgery. Patients who have a history of uveitis and have been in
Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is an angioproliferative disease associated with infection by the Human Immune Deficiency virus (HIV), mediated by cytokines, in which the presence of Human Herpes-Virus 8 (HHV-8) and immunosuppression are essential for the disease process. It has an unpredictable course and can
