Silicone oil (SOT) versus gas (GT) tamponade for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment treated successfully with a propensity score analysis
This is a retrospective, nationwide, multicentre study with retinal detachment (RD) in the Japan-RD Registry between 2016 to 2017. The primary outcome was the estimated mean difference of postoperative cerebral vascular accident (CVA) in six months and a propensity score...
Environmental variations in endophthalmitis
In this retrospective cohort study, the authors looked at seasonal and environmental variations in 171 endophthalmitis cases out of 423,297 intravitreal injections. The incidence of this complication was not correlated to monthly snowfall, rainfall, or average temperature. There was no...
Somatostatin protects retinal pericytes
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a complication of diabetes, caused by high blood sugar levels damaging the retinal microvasculature. Mechanisms, such as oxidative stress and deposition of advanced glycation end products, leads to glial cell activation and neuronal apoptosis. Pericytes, contractile...
Conversion factors for fovea on / off detachments
This is a retrospective study of medical records in a single unit over a 14 year period from January 2001 – December 2014, of patients who converted from fovea-on to fovea-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). Ten cases were identified while...
Structural effects of migraine on the retina
Migraine is a common, chronic, multifactorial neuro-vascular disorder typically characterised by recurrent attacks of disabling headache and autonomic nervous system dysfunction (migraine without aura). Up to one third of patients also have neurological aura symptoms (migraine with aura). The objective...
The risk factors associated with isolated microvascular third nerve palsy
The authors used the Rochester Epidemiology Project for this retrospective case review of third nerve palsy. Inclusion criteria was adults >18 years, with new onset isolated microvascular third nerve palsy diagnosed within a 36-month period, with recovery or significant improvement,...
Neurogenic palsy due to COVID-19
The authors aimed to identify cases of neurogenic palsy in the presence of Covid-19 and document the patient characteristics, type of palsy and possible aetiologies. Case reports and case series were included in the search. Twenty-three articles were included with...
Intravitreal functional plasminogen in branch retinal vein occlusion
Branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) is the second most common vascular disorder of the eye. Intravitreal injections of anti-VEGF agents and corticosteroids have proven efficacy. Posterior vitreous cortex (PVC) adhesion has been shown to support the development of retinal vein...
Akimba mice, a model of human diabetic retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a major complication of diabetes and a growing problem as the systemic disease becomes more prevalent. DR develops insidiously from an asymptomatic form through to vascular damage that leads to oedema and breakdown of the blood-retinal...
Topical doxycycline for corneal neovascularisation
Six eyes with corneal vascularisation were treated with 1% topical doxycycline, four times a day for three weeks. The patients were reviewed at various intervals over a period of one year. The eyes selected had neovascularisation secondary to a variety...
