Primary open‐angle glaucoma as a marker of upcoming Alzheimer's disease: A 20‐year Danish National Registry‐Based Study

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To investigate whether primary open‐angle glaucoma (POAG) is associated with an increased long‐term risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, given its shared neurodegenerative features. Methods A 20‐year longitudinal, registry‐based matched cohort study was conducted using Danish national health registries from 1998 to 2018. Individuals

Neuroprotective effects of erythropoietin on rat retinas subjected to oligemia

Clinics, 2018
OBJECTIVES: Erythropoietin may have neuroprotective potential after ischemia of the central nervous system. Here, we conducted a study to characterize the protective effects of erythropoietin on retinal ganglion cells and gliotic reactions in an ...

Frequency Responses of Rat Retinal Ganglion Cells

PLOS ONE, 2016
There are 15–20 different types of retinal ganglion cells (RGC) in the mammalian retina, each encoding different aspects of the visual scene. The mechanism by which post-synaptic signals from the retinal network generate spikes is determined by each cell’s intrinsic electrical properties.

Infection control in the brain and the eye

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract The Central Nervous System (CNS), comprising the brain and the eye, is considered to have a ‘privileged’ mechanism for dealing with immunological challenge (immune privilege, IP). CNS IP has been revealed through experiments using foreign protein antigens and cell and tissue alloantigens (grafts), but evidence for a role for IP in modulating ...

Viral Vector-based Improvement of Optic Nerve Regeneration: Characterization of Individual Axons\u27 Growth Patterns and Synaptogenesis in a Visual Target [PDF]

, 2015
Lack of axon growth ability in the central nervous system poses a major barrier to achieving functional connectivity after injury. Thus, a non-transgenic regenerative approach to reinnervating targets has important implications in clinical and research ...

Prognostic factors of optical coherence tomography angiography in intermediate and advanced primary open‐angle glaucoma: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Conventional optical coherence tomography (OCT) has a floor effect in patients with severe visual field loss, such as seen in advanced primary open‐angle glaucoma (POAG). OCT angiography (OCTA) does not suffer from such a floor effect. However, which OCTA parameters are most useful for monitoring longitudinal progression is unclear.

Changes in choroidal and retinal thickness 6 months before and during 18 months of orthokeratology lens treatment in myopic children

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To investigate changes in choroidal and retinal thickness before and during myopia control treatment with orthokeratology lenses (OKL) in myopic children. Methods This was a sub‐study of CONTROL and CONTROL2 studies. The present study was a 2‐year, prospective, single‐group interventional study consisting of a 6‐month pre‐treatment ...

Anti‐inflammatory effects of physical stimuli: The central role of networks in shaping the future of pharmacological research

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Addressing complexity in the study of life sciences through Systems Biology and Systems Medicine has been transformative, making Systems Pharmacology the next logical step. In this review, we focus on physical stimuli, whose potential in pharmacology has been neglected, despite demonstrated therapeutic properties.

Localization of axonally transported 125I-wheat germ agglutinin beneath the plasma membrane of chick retinal ganglion cells. [PDF]

, 1983
The distribution of 125I-wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) transported by axons of chick retinal ganglion cells to layer d of the optic tectum was studied by electron microscopic autoradiography.
