Mitochondrial Retinopathies [PDF]
The retina is an exquisite target for defects of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) associated with mitochondrial impairment. Retinal involvement occurs in two ways, retinal dystrophy (retinitis pigmentosa) and subacute or chronic optic atrophy, which are the most common clinical entities. Both can present as isolated or virtually exclusive conditions,

Solar retinopathy is a well-recognised clinical entity of macular damage caused by viewing the sun, induced by a photochemical process. The term 'eclipse retinopathy' is frequently employed when the condition is sustained as a result of viewing a solar eclipse.

Nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy may cause visual loss when associated with macular edema or macular ischemia (secondary to retinal capillary nonperfusion). Proliferative diabetic retinopathy may cause severe visual loss if complicated by vitreous hemorrhage or traction detachment of the macula.

Diabetes and hyperglycemia are associated with increased retinal oxidative and nitrative stress and vascular cell death. Paradoxically, high glucose stimulates expression of survival and angiogenic growth factors.

Laser treatment in diabetic retinopathy [PDF]
Diabetic retinopathy is a leading cause of visual impairment and blindness in developed countries due to macular edema and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). For both complications laser treatment may offer proven therapy: the Diabetic Retinopathy

Background: Epilepsy is accompanied by neurodegenerative changes, particularly those in the retina. Elucidation of the mechanisms of retinal alterations in a model of epileptic syndrome may allow for the development of new approaches to pharmacological ...

Ultrastructure of neurovascular changes in human diabetic retinopathy [PDF]
The previous concept regarding diabetic retinopathy assigned a primary role to hyperglycemia-induced microvascular alterations, while neuronal and glial abnormalities were considered to be secondary to either ischemia or exudation.

Dengue Virus Infection of Human Retinal Müller Glial Cells
Retinopathy is a recently recognized complication of dengue, affecting up to 10% of hospitalized patients. Research on the pathogenesis has focused largely on effects of dengue virus (DENV) at the blood–retinal barrier.

Delay in diabetic retinopathy screening increases the rate of detection of referable diabetic retinopathy [PDF]
Aims - To assess whether there is a relationship between delay in retinopathy screening after diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes and level of retinopathy detected.

Involvement of the retinal microvascular vessels is an almost inevitable consequence of long standing diabetes. In the only large scale epidemiology study of a Caucasian population Klein et al. found some degree of retinopathy in up to 97% of patients with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) after about 15 years diabetes duration and in about 60%
