High sampling resolution optical coherence tomography reveals potential concurrent reductions in ganglion cell‐inner plexiform and inner nuclear layer thickness but not in outer retinal thickness in glaucoma

Ophthalmic and Physiological Optics, Volume 43, Issue 1, Page 46-63, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Purpose To analyse optical coherence tomography (OCT)‐derived inner nuclear layer (INL) and outer retinal complex (ORC) measurements relative to ganglion cell‐inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) measurements in glaucoma. Methods Glaucoma participants (n = 271) were categorised by 10‐2 visual field defect type.

Towards an understanding of the pathological basis of senile depression and incident dementia: Implications for treatment

Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences, Volume 76, Issue 12, Page 620-632, December 2022., 2022
Senile depression (SD) is a heterogeneous syndrome. Several clinical profiles are more likely to appear in SD than in early‐life depression, but it remains unclear whether the pathophysiology is different. The prevalence of dementia increases with aging, and the underlying pathophysiological processes in the preclinical phase begin even before ...

A multiethnic genome-wide association study of primary open-angle glaucoma identifies novel risk loci

Nature Communications, 2018
Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is a leading cause of irreversible vision loss, yet much of the genetic risk remains unaccounted for, especially in African-Americans who have a higher risk for developing POAG.

A Population-based survey of the prevalence and types of glaucoma in Nigeria: results from the Nigeria National Blindness and Visual Impairment Survey. [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND: Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. There tends to be a lower reporting of glaucoma in Africa compared to other blinding conditions in global burden data.

Co-occurrence of chronic kidney disease and glaucoma:Epidemiology and etiological mechanisms [PDF]

, 2022
As the histology, physiology, and pathophysiology of eyes and kidneys show substantial overlap, it has been suggested that eye and kidney diseases, such as glaucoma and chronic kidney disease (CKD), may be closely interlinked.
