Choroidal Vascular Changes In Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease [PDF]

, 2023
Introduction: The most common cause of death in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is cardiovascular disease. Choroidal micro -vascular structure in the eye may be a predictor of systemic vascular disease.

Development and Retrospective Application of Novel Outcome Measure: Sturge–Weber Syndrome Acute Crisis (SWAC) Index

Annals of the Child Neurology Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Sturge–Weber syndrome (SWS) symptoms frequently overlap in neurological acute crises (ACs) presenting with seizures, stroke‐like episodes (SLE), and headaches. Recent efforts to develop a prospective drug trial highlighted the need for a new outcome measure capable of quantifying these symptoms during an SWS AC.

Impact of 1024‐Matrix Size on Perforating Artery Visualisation in Cerebral Computed Tomography Angiography Using a 64‐Slice CT Scanner

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This study investigated whether using a larger image matrix (1024 × 1024 pixels instead of 512 × 512) improves the visibility of tiny brain arteries on CT scans performed with standard 64‐slice scanners. While physical image quality measurements remained unchanged, the larger matrix provided finer digital sampling of blood vessel structures, resulting ...

Regulation of angiogenesis by a non-canonical Wnt-Flt1 pathway in myeloid cells [PDF]

, 2011
Myeloid cells are a feature of most tissues. Here we show that during development, retinal myeloid cells (RMCs) produce Wnt ligands to regulate blood vessel branching.

Shaping Function: Polymeric 3D Systems With Unconventional Geometries for Biomedical Applications

Small, EarlyView.
Particle shape is a key design parameter governing biological interactions. Advances in fabrication enable precise control over anisotropy and compartmentalization, allowing modulation of cellular uptake, transport, and biodistribution, ultimately enhancing therapeutic performance. ABSTRACT Polymer geometry is a primary determinant of physical behavior

Mitomycin C versus 5-Fluorouracil for wound healing in glaucoma surgery. [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND: Raised intraocular pressure is a risk factor for glaucoma. One treatment option is glaucoma drainage surgery (trabeculectomy). Antimetabolites are used during surgery to reduce postoperative scarring during wound healing. Two agents in common

Choroidal Vascular Hyperpermeability and Punctate Hyperfluorescent Spot in Choroidal Neovascularization

Investigative Opthalmology & Visual Science, 2015
To evaluate the prevalence of choroidal vascular hyperpermeability and punctate hyperfluorescent spots in eyes with choroidal neovascularization (CNV).This retrospective, observational study included 382 eyes with typical exudative AMD (97 eyes), polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV, 163 eyes), retinal angiomatous proliferation (RAP, 37 eyes), or ...

Linking cardiological parameters and choroidal changes in patients with precapillary pulmonary hypertension: a cross-sectional study

Scientific Reports
Diagnosing precapillary pulmonary hypertension (PPH) is challenging, and prognosis remains poor. This study aims to explore the pathogenesis of choroidal changes in these patients and assess whether choroidal parameters could serve as noninvasive ...
