Eye Darkening Under Dehydration Stress in the Neotropical Frog Boana punctata (Schneider, 1799)

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
Dehydration induces a strong and partially reversible increase in iris pigmentation in the Neotropical frog Boana punctata. The tight relationship between iris darkening and hydration state identifies ocular pigmentation as a simple, non‐invasive physiological biomarker with broad potential for assessing hydric stress in amphibian populations ...

Beyond the Classics: The Synergy of AI and Genomics Reveals an Expanded Repertoire of Pigmentation Genes

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
Classical approaches for coloration analysis are limited by human low‐resolution phenotyping and genetic analysis. Artificial intelligence allows us to find genes beyond the tip of the iceberg that explain color and pattern diversity in nature. ABSTRACT Pigmentation has long served as a powerful system for exploring gene–trait relationships, yet much ...

Valsalva-Related Subretinal Hemorrhage as a Presenting Symptom of Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy

Case Reports in Ophthalmological Medicine, 2017
Purpose. To describe a case of Valsalva-related subretinal hemorrhage as a presenting symptom of polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV). The patient refrained from treatment against our best advice, and thus this is also a rare case of the natural ...

Beyond Skin and Eyes: The Medical and Social Burden of Oculocutaneous Albinism in Africa: A Narrative Review

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) is a genetic disorder found worldwide, but its impact is particularly pronounced in the African continent. This results from both a higher prevalence and the persistent myths and superstitions surrounding the condition in many African communities.

Advances in deep‐tissue fluorescence imaging through optical clearing: A review

VIEW, EarlyView.
Optical clearing refers to techniques that are used to improve the optical transparency of biological tissues. Optical clearing enables imaging of deeper lying tissues as well as 3D volumetric imaging of whole organs. This review examines reports on the integration of optical clearing with advanced fluorescence imaging techniques, with particular ...

Gut microbiota dysbiosis in the inflammatory pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy

VIEW, EarlyView.
This graphical abstract illustrates how gut dysbiosis drives diabetic retinopathy through the gut‐retina axis, a process unfolding in three interconnected stages. First, in the gut, a decrease in beneficial bacteria and an increase in pro‐inflammatory taxa compromise the intestinal barrier, causing a “leaky gut” that allows LPS to translocate into the ...

The optical coherence tomography and microperimetry biomarker evaluation in patients with geographic atrophy (OMEGA) study: Geographic atrophy progression in fundus autofluorescence ‐ OMEGA report 3

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To measure the progression of geographic atrophy (GA) in subjects with age‐related macular degeneration (AMD) in a natural history study. Methods We analysed fundus autofluorescence (FAF) images using a semiautomatic method (RegionFinder) to quantify the GA area in a monocentric study.
