Optical coherence tomography in neurodegenerative disorders

Arq. neuropsiquiatr; 80 (2), 2022
ABSTRACT Structural imaging of the brain is the most widely used diagnostic tool for investigating neurodegenerative diseases. More advanced structural imaging techniques have been applied to early or prodromic phases, but they are expensive and not widely available. Therefore, it is highly desirable to ...

Disorganization of the inner retinal layers in diabetic macular edema: systematic review

Rev. bras. oftalmol; 81 (), 2022
ABSTRACT The objective of this article was to review the disorganization of inner retinal layers as a biomarker in diabetic macular edema. A systematic search was conducted in PubMed®/MEDLINE®, Cochrane and Embase until August 2021. The keywords used were: "disorganization of inner retinal layers (DRIL...

Fractal evaluation in retinographies of individuals with different grades of diabetic retinopathy

Rev. bras. oftalmol; 81 (), 2022
ABSTRACT Purpose To evaluate the retinal blood vascular network of the retinographies of patients with different grades of diabetic retinopathy. Methods Ninety Retinographies (MESSIDOR database) were used, with different grades of diabetic retinopathy divided into 4 groups: no retinopathy (n=23), gra...

tiRNA-Val promotes angiogenesis via Sirt1-Hif-1α axis in mice with diabetic retinopathy

Biol. Res; 55 (), 2022
BACKGROUND: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a specific microvascular complication arising from diabetes, and its pathogenesis is not completely understood. tRNA-derived stress-induced RNAs (tiRNAs), a new type of small noncoding RNA generated by specific cleavage of tRNAs, has become a promising target for ...

Switch to aflibercept in the treatment of neovascular age-related macular degeneration: 30-month results

Arq. bras. oftalmol; 84 (3), 2021
ABSTRACT Purpose: This study was conducted to evaluate visual function and changes in the central macular thickness of patients with unresponsive neovascular age-related macular degeneration who were switched from ranibizumab (Lucentis®) to aflibercept (Eylea®) treatment at 30 months. Methods: This r...

Alterações retinianas em pacientes com leucemia linfocítica aguda (lla): discussão de tema a partir de relato de caso

Rev. bras. oftalmol; 80 (1), 2021
RESUMO A Leucemia Linfocitica Aguda (LLA) é uma doença caracterizada por uma alta taxa de sobrevida, porém o número absoluto de crianças que morrem por ela representa uma grande parcela dos casos de óbitos infantis por câncer. A morbidade decorrente de seu tratamento pode deixar sequelas em pessoa...

DNMT1-mediated PPARα methylation aggravates damage of retinal tissues in diabetic retinopathy mice

Biol. Res; 54 (), 2021
BACKGROUND: Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα) is associated with diabetic retinopathy (DR), and the underlying mechanism is still unclear. Aim of this work was to investigate the mechanism of PPARα in DR. METHODS: Human retinal capillary pericytes (HRCPs) were treated with high g...

Ganglion cell layer thinning in diabetic patients without retinopathy: related or unrelated to total macular thickness?

Arq. bras. oftalmol; 83 (5), 2020
ABSTRACT Purpose: Reduction of ganglion cell layer thickness may occur in diabetic patients without retinopathy. The relationships of this preclinical finding with retinal thickness or reduced parafoveal vessel density have not been established. This study investigated the relationships of ganglion cell...

Assessment of intraocular pressure, macular thickness, retinal nerve fiber layer, and ganglion cell layer thicknesses: ocular parameters and optical coherence tomography findings in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder

Objective: To compare intraocular pressure (IOP) and macular, retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), and ganglion cell layer (GCL) thicknesses in treatment-naive children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), children with ADHD on regular methylphenidate (MPH) treatment for at least 3 months, ...
