Evaluation of the retinal vasculature of patients with branch retinal vein occlusion using optical coherence tomography angiography

Arq. bras. oftalmol; 83 (6), 2020
ABSTRACT Purpose: To evaluate vascular density in super­ficial and deep capillary plexuses of the retina, measured using optical coherence tomography angiography in patients with branch retinal vein occlusion. Affected eyes were compared with the contralateral eye of the same patient and both were comp...

Ocular findings in Fabry disease in Colombian patients

Biomédica (Bogotá); 39 (3), 2019
ABSTRACT Fabry disease is a rare X-linked disorder caused by an alpha-galactosidase enzyme deficiency, which leads to a progressive lysosomal glycosphingolipids accumulation, mainly globotriaosylceramide, in multiple organism tissues including the eye. This case series describes the first ophthalmologica...

Ginsenoside Rb1 attenuates diabetic retinopathy in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats

Acta cir. bras; 34 (2), 2019
Abstract Purpose: To investigated the effects of ginsenoside Rb1 on diabetic retinopathy in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Methods: Diabetes was induced by a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (80 mg/kg) in male Wistar rats. Ginsenoside Rb1 (20, 40 mg/kg) was injected (i.p.) on...

Validity and reproducibility of retinal arteriole and venule diameter measurements: ELSA-Brasil study. A cross-sectional study

Säo Paulo med. j; 136 (4), 2018
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Investigation of alterations to retinal microvasculature may contribute towards understanding the role of such changes in the pathophysiology of several chronic non-communicable diseases. The objective here was to evaluate the validity and reproducibility of retinal arteriole and v...

Sickle cell retinopathy: A literature review

Summary Hemoglobinopathies are a group of hereditary diseases that cause quantitative or qualitative changes in the shape, function or synthesis of hemoglobin. One of the most common is sickle cell anemia, which, due to sickling of erythrocytes, causes vaso-occlusive phenomena. Among the possible ocular ...

Signos vasculares retinianos en recién nacidos con cardiopatía congénita crítica: serie de casos
