Microbiome and Retinal Vascular Diseases [PDF]
The American Journal of Pathology, 2023 The gut microbiome consists of more than a thousand different microbes and their associated genes and microbial metabolites. It influences various host metabolic pathways and is therefore important for homeostasis. In recent years, its influence on health and disease has been extensively researched.

Retinal prostheses in degenerative retinal diseases [PDF]
Journal of the Chinese Medical Association, 2015 Degenerative retinal diseases may lead to significant loss of vision. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and retinitis pigmentosa (RP), which eventually affect the photoreceptors, are the two most common retinal degenerative diseases. Once the photoreceptorcells are lost, there are no known effective therapies for AMD or RP.

Inherited Retinal Diseases [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022 Inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) are a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of diseases that cause vision loss due to abnormal development or due to the dysfunction or degeneration of the photoreceptors or the retinal pigment epithelium [...]

Diagnosis of Inherited Retinal Diseases [PDF]
Klinische Monatsblätter für Augenheilkunde, 2021 AbstractInherited retinal diseases are a frequent cause of severe visual impairment or blindness in children and adults of working age. Across this group of diseases, there is great variability in the degree of visual impairment, the impact on everyday life, disease progression, and the suitability to therapeutic intervention.

Retinal oximetry in patients with ischaemic retinal diseases [PDF]
Acta Ophthalmologica, 2016 AbstractThe retinal oximeter is a new tool for non‐invasive measurement of retinal oxygen saturation in humans. Several studies have investigated the associations between retinal oxygen saturation and retinal diseases. In the present systematic review, we examine whether there are associations between retinal oxygen saturation and retinal ischaemic ...

Neuroprotective potential of Ginkgo biloba in retinal diseases [PDF]
, 2021 Like other tissues of the central nervous system, the retina is susceptible to damage by oxidative processes that result in several neurodegenerative disease such as age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, ischaemic retinal ...

‘Statins in retinal disease’ [PDF]
Eye, 2018 Statins are known for their blood cholesterol-lowering effect and are widely used in patients with cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Research over the past three decades shows that statins have diverse effects on different pathophysiological pathways involved in angiogenesis, inflammation, apoptosis, and anti-oxidation, leading to new therapeutic ...

Gene's hubs in retinal diseases: A retinal disease network [PDF]
Heliyon, 2018 Retinal diseases associated with the dysfunction or death of photoreceptors are a major cause of blindness around the world, improvements in genetics tools, like next generation sequencing (NGS) allows the discovery of genes and genetic changes that lead to many of those retinal diseases.

Antioxidants and Retinal Diseases [PDF]
Antioxidants, 2019 The retina is a thin membrane derived from the neuroectoderm, it is the physical morphological substrate in which the transformation of light energy into electrical impulses, that later will be led to the cerebral cortex, is performed [...]

Inflammation in Retinal Disease [PDF]
International Journal of Inflammation, 2013 Ocular inflammation and its related complications are important causes of vision loss. Inflammatory processes have long been implicated in the pathogenesis and sequelae of noninfectious uveitis and understood to underlie the macular edema which may arise following even uncomplicated intraocular surgeries [1].
