Arq. bras. oftalmol; 86 (1), 2023
ABSTRACT We describe the case of a 15-year-old girl with decreased visual acuity associated with elevated intraocular pressure in both eyes and angle closure on gonioscopy. She also presented attenuation of retinal vessels and optic disc pallor with large excavation in the left eye. Ultrasound biomicrosc...

La Retinosquisis ligada al X, que se presenta fundamentalmente en varones, es una enfermedad genética caracterizada por agudeza visual reducida debido a degeneración macular. Su prevalencia es de 1/5000 varones en todo el mundo. Se manifiesta desde la primera década de la vida con pérdida de la visi�...

Association of serum levels of secreted frizzled-related protein 5 and Wnt member 5a with glomerular filtration rate in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and chronic renal disease: a cross-sectional study

Säo Paulo med. j; 138 (2), 2020
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Diabetic nephropathy is a common complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD). ­Inflammation in the kidneys is crucial for promoting development and progression of this complication. Wnt member 5a (Wnt5a) and secreted frizzled-related protein 5 (Sfrp5) are proinflammatory proteins...

Intravitreal neurodegenerative and inflammatory mediators in proliferative diabetic retinopathy

Arq. bras. oftalmol; 82 (4), 2019
ABSTRACT Purpose: To compare the intravitreal concentrations of cellular mediators involved in neurodegeneration, inflammation, and angiogenesis in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy and other vitreoretinal diseases. Methods: A multiplex bead immunoassay was used to measure vitreous level...

Decreased VEGF-A and sustained PEDF expression in a human retinal pigment epithelium cell line cultured under hypothermia

Biol. Res; 48 (), 2015
BACKGROUND: Previous reports have described a decrease in retinal temperature and clinical improvement of wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) after vitrectomy. We hypothesized that the retinal temperature decrease after vitrectomy plays a part in the suppression of wet AMD development. To test thi...
