The non-obligatory role of endothelial cells in the relaxation of arterial smooth muscle by acetylcholine [PDF]

, 2008
The concept of Endothelium Derived Relaxing Factor (EDRF), put forward by Furchgott in the earlier 80s of the past century, implies that nitric oxide (NO) produced by NO synthase (NOS) in the endothelium in response to acetylcholine (ACh) passively ...

Risk of priapism after dynamic penile Doppler ultrasound: Single‐centre experience on a large cohort of patients

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the risk of priapism in patients undergoing Dynamic—Penile duplex ultrasound (D‐PDU) who were referred to our Unit between January 2022 and December 2023. Patients and methods We enrolled 292 patients, of whom 268 underwent Dynamic—Penile duplex ultrasound for erectile dysfunction and 24 for Peyronie's disease.

Tracking visual outcomes – Follow‐up on patients born preterm with childhood‐onset visual impairment

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Preterm birth is associated with a risk of ocular complications. The primary aim of the study was to evaluate the main cause of visual impairment (VI) in a cohort of preterm born patients who had childhood‐onset VI. The association between health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) and age, cause—and severity of VI and impairment type was ...

Bronchoconstriction following instillation of phenylephrine eye drops in premature infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia: two cases report [PDF]

Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2015
Premature infants requiring an ophthalmic examination or even surgery for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) have a high prevalence of co-existing bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Reactive airway is one of the clinical presentations of BPD.

Visual acuity, amblyopia and refractive error in preterm children with and without retinopathy of prematurity – Results from the Gutenberg Prematurity Study Young (GPSY)

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose This study aims to assess visual outcomes in children born preterm, stratified by gestational age, hypo‐ and hypertrophy, and the presence of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and its treatment. Methods This is a prospective observational cohort study (n = 949, 1889 eyes) assessing visual acuity, amblyopia, refractive error, and lens ...

Fundus autofluorescence lifetimes in age‐related macular degeneration versus healthy controls in a pseudophakic population

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To check whether prolonged fundus autofluorescence (FAF) lifetimes in age‐related macular degeneration (AMD) could be an artefact resulting from lens fluorescence. Methods Fluorescence lifetime imaging ophthalmoscopy (FLIO) was performed in pseudophakic intermediate AMD as well as healthy controls. The median values of FAF lifetimes in

Effects of novel muscarinic M3 receptor ligand C1213 in pulmonary arterial hypertension models. [PDF]

, 2016
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a complex disease comprising a pathologic remodeling and thickening of the pulmonary vessels causing an after load on the right heart ventricle that can result in ventricular failure. Triggered by oxidative stress, episodes

Test–retest variability of the full‐field stimulus test in patients with retinitis pigmentosa: REPEAT Study Report No. 4

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To evaluate test–retest variability (TRV) of the full‐field stimulus test (FST) in patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and poor best‐corrected visual acuity (BCVA; ≤20/50 Snellen; ≥0.40 logMAR), and to assess the reliability of FST as a clinical endpoint in future RP trials.
