Retinal Venous Occlusive disease is the second only to diabetic retinopathy as a major cause of blindness associated with retinal vascular disease. Macular edema is a major cause of vision loss in patients presenting with central and hemi vein occlusions. Until recently the standard of care for
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is known to be induced by hypoxia and has been implicated in the development of iris and retinal vascularization. VEGF, however, is also known to be a potent mediator of vascular permeability in other tissues and may perform this function in
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
Objective: Uveitis, an inflammatory condition that affects the uvea (iris, ciliary body and choroid) and adjacent structures of the eyes, is an important cause of visual loss. Most cases of uveitis, not related to an infectious agent, are thought to be autoimmune in origin and are effectively
Diabetic macular edema (DME) results from abnormal leakage of macromolecules into the extracellular space from microaneurysms and incompetent blood vessel walls due to small vessel damage from high blood glucose levels. Oncotic forces then allow water into the extracellular space. Abnormalities in
Central vein occlusion is a common retinal vascular disorder with potentially blinding complications. The two major complications are reduced central vision caused by macular edema and neovascular glaucoma caused by iris neovascularization. Other clinical trials have shown that laser
This is a monocentric, pilot, randomized controlled study. Each eligible transplant candidate will be enrolled once an eligible graft has been allocated to him/her. Each enrolled patient will be randomized to either the experimental arm (HOPE-CytoSorb) or the control arm
Specific Aims
1. To test the hypothesis that 10 minutes of hepatic ischemic preconditioning in deceased donors would improve liver graft function and decrease injury in the early post transplant period.
To accomplish this aim, we will compare International Normalized Ratios of prothrombin time
Design: Prospective, comparative interventional case series. Method: Patients were randomly assigned into Group A which were treated with Diode laser cyclophotocoagulation alone, whereas group B received intravitreal Avastin (One milligram = 0.04mL of 25 mg/mL) in conjunction with the Diode Laser.
Purpose:
To investigate 3 different side-effects after DSAEK, DMEK, and cataract extraction (CE) in a randomized controlled trial with 12 months follow-up with CE as an additional control group.
1. To investigate the extend of subclinical cystoid macular edema CME and epiretinal membrane (ERM) after
Retinal Venous Occlusive disease is the second only to diabetic retinopathy as a major cause of blindness associated with retinal vascular disease. Macular edema is a major cause of vision loss in patients presenting with central abd hemi vein occlusions. Currently, there is no proven treatment to
Surgical technique for congenital cataract is now more and more mature, but many young patients still have obvious postoperative inflammatory response, which might cause visual axial opacification, posterior synechiae and secondary glaucoma. Triamcinolone is used in intraocular injection for its
Central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) is a common retinal vascular disorder with potentially complications like reduced vision resulting from extensive intraretinal hemorrhage, retinal ischemia and persistent macular edema and neovascular glaucoma secondary to iris neovascularization. Macular edema
Background and Significance
Aqueous shunt devices have traditionally been reserved for treatment of only the most refractory glaucomas. However, more recent studies have reported favorable results in comparison with trabeculectomy in medically uncontrolled glaucomas at lower risk of filtration
