Cholesterol oxidation in the retina: implications of 7KCh formation in chronic inflammation and age-related macular degeneration

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2010
This review will discuss the formation and potential implications of 7-ketocholesterol (7KCh) in the retina. 7KCh is a proinflammatory oxysterol known to be present in high amounts in oxidized LDL deposits associated with atheromatous plaques.

When HIV Immunodeficiency and Heterochromia Confuse the Issue: Recurrent Zoster Uveitis Mistaken for Fuchs’ Uveitis

open access: yesJournal of Ophthalmic & Vision Research, 2021
Purpose: We report a case with iris heterochromia misdiagnosed as Fuchs' uveitis which finally turned out to be a unilateral zoster uveitis in an HIV-positive patient.

Preoperative Steroid Use in Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment Associated with Choroidal Detachment after 23-Gauge Vitrectomy

open access: yesJournal of Ophthalmology, 2020
Background. Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment associated with choroidal detachment (RRDCD) is rare and the prognosis is poor. This retrospective study evaluated the effect of preoperative steroid on the clinical outcome of patients with RRDCD receiving ...

Stem Cell Treatment in Retinal Diseases: Recent Developments

open access: yes, 2018
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells which have the ability to self-renew and differentiate into mature cells. They are highly proliferative, implying that an unlimited number of mature cells can be generated from a given stem cell source. On this basis,

Clinicopathology of non-infectious choroiditis: evolution of its appraisal during the last 2–3 decades from “white dot syndromes” to precise classification

open access: yesJournal of Ophthalmic Inflammation and Infection, 2021
Choroidal imaging investigation techniques were very limited until 2–3 decades ago. Fluorescein angiography (FA) was not suited for the analysis of the choroidal compartment and B-scan ultrasonography did not provide enough accuracy.

Complement activation in retinal degeneration

open access: yes, 2016
Our aim is to investigate a common role of the complement system in the pathogenesis of retinal disease, by assessing the expression profile of complement component 3 (C3) in three mechanistically distinct models of retinal degeneration: light-damage ...

Retinal Vessel Extraction with the Image Ray Transform [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Extraction of blood vessels within the retina is an important task that can help in detecting a number of diseases, including diabetic retinopathy. Current techniques achieve good, but not perfect performance and this suggests that improved preprocessing

Exudative Retinal Detachment

open access: yes, 2016
Exudative retinal detachment refers to the separation of the neurosensory retina from the underlying retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) as a result of abnormalities of the normal hydrostatic/osmotic pressure gradients or transport mechanisms that maintain ...

CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF RETINAL VASCULAR OCCLUSION IN MOYAMOYA DISEASE: Case Series and Systematic Review

open access: yes, 2021
Purpose: Although moyamoya disease primarily affects the carotid artery in the ophthalmic artery bifurcation area, retinal vascular abnormalities in moyamoya disease have rarely been reported.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...
