Weight gain measured at 6 weeks after birth as a predictor for severe retinopathy of prematurity: study with 317 very low birth weight preterm babies [PDF]

, 2009
Recent studies suggest that postnatal weight gain can play an important role in the development of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).To analyze the low weight gain (WG) from birth to 6 weeks of life to predict the development of severe retinopathy of ...

A phase 2 trial of hydroxychloroquine in individuals at risk for rheumatoid arthritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Background Individuals with serum elevations of anti‐cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti‐CCP) antibodies are at increased risk for future rheumatoid arthritis (RA). No pharmacologic interventions have been approved for the prevention of RA in such ‘at‐risk’ individuals. However, hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is used without supporting clinical trial evidence.

SmartPlus: a computer-based image analysis method to predict continuous-valued vascular abnormality index in Retinopathy of Prematurity

International Journal of Retina and Vitreous
Plus disease is characterized by abnormal changes in retinal vasculature of premature infants. Presence of Plus disease is an important criterion for identifying treatment-requiring cases in Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP).

Cost–benefit analysis of screening programme for diabetic retinopathy in Bulgaria

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Late‐diagnosed diabetic retinopathy (DR) is difficult and expensive to treat. Screening programmes can identify the disease early and reduce the costs of its future treatment. This study aims to analyse the cost–benefit of screening programmes for DR.

Pentoxifylline dose finding trial in preterm neonates with suspected late onset sepsis (PTX‐trial)

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aim The aim of this study (PTX‐trial) is to determine the optimal dose of pentoxifylline (PTX) in preterm neonates (gestational age < 30 weeks) with (suspected) late onset sepsis (LONS). Methods The PTX‐trial is a prospective multicentre open‐label sequential dose‐optimization study with an adapted continual reassessment method.

Hypoxia-induced retinal neovascularization in zebrafish embryos: a potential model of retinopathy of prematurity. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Retinopathy of prematurity, formerly known as a retrolental fibroplasia, is a leading cause of infantile blindness worldwide. Retinopathy of prematurity is caused by the failure of central retinal vessels to reach the retinal periphery, creating a ...
