Glaucoma and cigarette smoking: a review of narrative reviews [PDF]

, 2016
Background: Glaucoma is an optic neuropathy associated with visual field changes for which high intra-ocular pressure is a major risk factor. Emerging research indicates that modifiable factors, among which the cigarette smoke, besides IOP may be ...

Hypertension in Primary Open Angle Glaucoma

Journal of Nepal Medical Association, 2014
Introduction: The impact of vascular factors in POAG is well known and controversial. Some reports have shown high blood pressure in POAG, some low systolic blood pressure and some described no difference in blood pressure between POAG and controls ...

Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty Compared to Medication for Open-Angle Glaucoma Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. [PDF]

J Ophthalmol
Background An alternative glaucoma treatment is selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) that can effectively reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) and decrease the burden of glaucoma management. With newly published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing SLT and medication, an updated systematic review and meta‐analysis was needed.

Sex‐specific elevated incidence of glaucoma associated with topiramate versus valproate or lamotrigine in epilepsy, not migraine: A population‐based cohort study

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Topiramate has been linked to increased glaucoma risk, potentially through mechanisms involving ocular fluid shifts. However, comparative risks vs other antiseizure medications (ASMs) and variation by sex or indication remain uncertain.

Inflammatory bowel disease and metabolic reprogramming: From pathological mechanisms to targeted interventions

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
This review explores the role of metabolic reprogramming in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) by focusing on immune and epithelial cell metabolism, microbial metabolites, and their impact on inflammation. It discusses emerging metabolic therapies and emphasizes the importance of personalized microbiota‐targeted approaches to improve clinical outcomes in

Assessing Effects of Riboflavin/UV‐A Cross‐Linking on Aqueous Outflow Facility, Corneal Biomechanics and Their Association With Intraocular Pressure

Journal of Biophotonics, EarlyView.
Our study demonstrates that UV cross‐linking (CXL) reduces outflow facility while increasing corneal elasticity across IOP levels of 20–40 mmHg, measured using direct manometry and non‐contact optical coherence elastography. These results highlight both parameters as potential indicators for evaluating CXL effectiveness and monitoring keratoconus ...
