Interactive Blood Vessel Segmentation from Retinal Fundus Image Based on Canny Edge Detector
Optometrists, ophthalmologists, orthoptists, and other trained medical professionals use fundus photography to monitor the progression of certain eye conditions or diseases. Segmentation of the vessel tree is an essential process of retinal analysis.

Dampening Spontaneous Activity Improves the Light Sensitivity and Spatial Acuity of Optogenetic Retinal Prosthetic Responses [PDF]
Retinitis pigmentosa is a progressive retinal dystrophy that causes irreversible visual impairment and blindness. Retinal prostheses currently represent the only clinically available vision-restoring treatment, but the quality of vision returned remains ...

Retinal Hemodynamics in Retinitis Pigmentosa
To investigate the retinal hemodynamic changes occurring in patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP).Bidirectional laser Doppler velocimetry and monochromatic fundus photography were used to determine retinal venous diameter (D), maximum erythrocyte velocity (Vmax), and volumetric blood flow (Q) in the major retinal veins of eight patients with RP and ...

Retinal location and structure in squid rhodopsin [PDF]
In order to understand retinal we calculated the dihedral angles around carbon axis IOC-12C, since two different carbon sequences 9C-10C-11C-12C and 10C-11C-12C-13C exist. We also calculated the distances between two specified carbon pairs. Those results

Monitoring retinal changes with optical coherence tomography predicts neuronal loss in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Retinal optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a clinical and research tool in multiple sclerosis, where it has shown significant retinal nerve fiber (RNFL) and ganglion cell (RGC) layer thinning, while postmortem studies have reported RGC loss.

Retinal prosthesis has been translated from the laboratory to the clinic over the past two decades. Currently, two devices have regulatory approval for the treatment of retinitis pigmentosa. These devices provide partial sight restoration and patients use this improved vision in their everyday lives.

Uptake and metabolism of retinol (vitamin A) in the isolated perfused rat liver
The isolated perfused liver was employed to study various aspects of retinol-C14 metabolism. The rate of uptake of retinol, retinal, retinoic acid, and retinol acetate was rapid (first-order rate constant, k = 0.12–0.16 min−1) during the first 3–10 min ...

Retinal migraine is usually defined by transitory attacks of fully reversible monocular visual loss, mostly with aura. An accurate diagnostic can be completed based upon the International Classification of Headache Disorders-2 (ICHD-2) criteria. In view of this, we summarized some clinical features, treatment principles, complications, prognosis and ...
