The Role of Vitamin A in Retinal Diseases [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022
Vitamin A is an essential fat-soluble vitamin that occurs in various chemical forms. It is essential for several physiological processes. Either hyper- or hypovitaminosis can be harmful. One of the most important vitamin A functions is its involvement in visual phototransduction, where it serves as the crucial part of photopigment, the first molecule ...

Genetics in Retinal Diseases

2015
The phenotypic presentation of retinal diseases is typically underpinned by the presence of genetic variation represented by either polymorphic changes, mutations, copy number variations or epigenetic changes. Retinal dystrophies can broadly be divided into two forms, either monogenic (single-gene) or complex (multifactorial) diseases.

Retinal Vascular Diseases

Occupational Health Nursing, 1983
The eye can be affected by obstructive phenomena within large vessels, such as the corotid arteries, as well as in the ophthalmic artery, central retinal artery, and branch retinal arteries. The visual impairment seen with central retinal vein obstruction usually occurs over a period of days to weeks, and although vision improves spontaneously in some ...

Retinal Vascular Diseases

New England Journal of Medicine, 1978
RETINAL vascular diseases are important to the internist, for they frequently represent manifestations of systemic disorders, and to the ophthalmologist because they are major causes of visual impa...

Neuroprotection and Retinal Diseases

2015
Neuronal death is the primary cause of vision loss in most retinal diseases. Neuroprotection is the modification of neurons, and/or their surrounding environment, to promote the survival and function of the neurons, especially in environments that would normally be deleterious to their health.

Diabetic retinal disease

Nature Reviews Disease Primers
Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes mellitus that is clinically characterized by changes in retinal microvasculature. Diabetic retinopathy is now better defined as diabetic retinal disease (DRD), as diabetes mellitus affects not only the retinal microvasculature but the whole retina, including neurons and glia.

The Retinal Disease of Rubella

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1967
AN AUSTRALIAN physician, Aileen Mitchell, was the first to note fundus changes in a child born with rubella. 1 In his initial report before the Ophthalmological Society of Australia in 1941, Gregg did not mention this observation. 2 Several years later, however, while reviewing his notes of case reports collected for this original paper, 1 he cites the

Hereditary retinal disease

Current Opinion in Ophthalmology, 2008
This article reports recent advances in the diagnosis, genetic analysis, and treatment of hereditary retinal disease.Clinicians and scientists continue to reveal the relationship between phenotype and genotype in hereditary retinal diseases. Persistent investigation and progressive technology are advancing the efficiency of mutation discovery.
