endophthalmitis/hypoxia

Single intravitreal doses of ciprofloxacin, gentamicin, or imipenem were administered to rabbits with pseudomonas endophthalmitis for determination of the maximally effective dose. Treatment was given 24 hr ("early") or 48 hr ("late") after infection. With early treatment the dose-response

To determine injection time and effective dose of ciprofloxacin in endophthalmitis and to evaluate the effectiveness of dexamethasone. In rabbits, Pseudomonas aeruginosa (2 x 10(4) CFU/0.1 ml) was inoculated intravitreally. At 6, 12, 18, 24 hours postinoculation, single intravitreal doses of

BACKGROUND Candidemia has an extremely high mortality rate but is not always the direct cause of death. Therefore, determining the effect of candidemia on death is extremely difficult. METHODS We investigated prognostic factors in patients with culture-proven candidemia at 2 Japanese university

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a protein that is upregulated as a result of capillary dropout, hypoxia, and local inflammation secondary to increased intraluminal venous pressure from retinal vein compression and other forms of vascular occlusion such as branch retinal vein occlusion

Childhood blindness has an adverse effect on growth, development, social, and economic opportunities. Severe visual impairment (SVI) and blindness in infants must be detected as early as possible to initiate immediate treatment to prevent deep amblyopia. Although difficult, measurement of visual
