A cohort study of duplex Doppler examinations of the carotid artery in primary open angle glaucoma [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Objectives To explore the possibility of pathological change in the common carotid artery at the bifurcation and in the internal carotid artery beyond the bifurcation which could contribute to a reduced diastolic pressure as observed in primary open ...

Biomarkers in primary open angle glaucoma

open access: yesClinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (CCLM), 2012
Abstract Glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness worldwide, is currently defined as a disturbance of the structural or functional integrity of the optic nerve that causes characteristic atrophic changes in the optic nerve, which may lead to specific visual field defects over time.

Meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies identifies novel loci that influence cupping and the glaucomatous process [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Glaucoma is characterized by irreversible optic nerve degeneration and is the most frequent cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. Here, the International Glaucoma Genetics Consortium conducts a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies of ...

MicroRNAs as biomarkers in glaucoma and potential therapeutic targets

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research, 2022
Glaucoma is a neurodegenerative disease in which optic nerve damage and visual field defects occur. It is a leading cause of irreversible blindness. Its pathogenesis is largely unknown although several risk factors have been identified, with an increase ...

[Primary open-angle glaucoma]. [PDF]

open access: yesLa Revue de medecine interne, 2020
Primary open-angle glaucoma is a progressive chronic optic neuropathy, typically bilateral, that occurs after the age of 40 years. It is the second leading cause of irreversible blindness in the world. Primary open-angle glaucoma corresponds to a progressive loss of retinal ganglion cell characterized by an excavation of the optic disc associated with ...

Mitochondrial damage in the trabecular meshwork occurs only in primary open-angle glaucoma and in pseudoexfoliative glaucoma.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
BackgroundOpen-angle glaucoma appears to be induced by the malfunction of the trabecular meshwork cells due to injury induced by oxidative damage and mitochondrial impairment.

Effect of myricetin on primary open-angle glaucoma [PDF]

open access: yesTranslational Neuroscience, 2018
Abstract Background Primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) is the most common form of glaucoma, with a multifactorial etiology that results in retinal ganglion cell death and loss of vision. In this study, we assessed the effects of myricetin on the trabecular meshwork cells in POAG.

Mathematical Modelling of flow in Schlemm's canal and its influence on primary open angle glaucoma

open access: yes, 2008
POAG (Primary Open Angle Glaucoma) is a major cause of blindness. This normally occurs when the IOP (intraocular pressure) increases. High pressure can be caused by an imbalance in the production and drainage of fluid (aqueous humour, AH) in the eye.
