Impact of obesity with impaired glucose tolerance on retinal degeneration in a rat model of metabolic syndrome. [PDF]
, 2017 PurposeMetabolic syndrome (MetS) is associated with several degenerative diseases, including retinal degeneration. Previously, we reported on progressive retinal degeneration in a spontaneous obese rat (WNIN/Ob) model.

DeepOpht: Medical Report Generation for Retinal Images via Deep Models and Visual Explanation [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 In this work, we propose an AI-based method that intends to improve the conventional retinal disease treatment procedure and help ophthalmologists increase diagnosis efficiency and accuracy. The proposed method is composed of a deep neural networks-based (DNN-based) module, including a retinal disease identifier and clinical description generator, and ...

ReLaX: Retinal Layer Attribution for Guided Explanations of Automated Optical Coherence Tomography Classification [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 30 million Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) imaging tests are issued annually to diagnose various retinal diseases, but accurate diagnosis of OCT scans requires trained eye care professionals who are still prone to making errors. With better systems for diagnosis, many cases of vision loss caused by retinal disease could be entirely avoided.

Autoantibodies against retinal proteins in paraneoplastic and autoimmune retinopathy [PDF]
, 2004 BACKGROUND: Autoimmune retinal degeneration may occur in patients who present with sudden or, less commonly, subacute loss of vision of retinal origin, associated with an abnormal ERG, through the action of autoantibodies against retinal proteins.
