Matrix Metalloproteases and Cathepsin D in Human Serum do not Cleave Prolactin to Generate Vasoinhibin.

May 12, 2020

Vasoinhibin is generated in the pituitary gland and in multiple target tissues by proteolytic cleavage of prolactin by matrix metalloproteinases and cathepsin D. A dysregulation of vasoinhibin generat...

Evaluating Signs of Microangiopathy Secondary to Diabetes in Different Areas of the Retina with Swept Source OCTA.

May 12, 2020

The purpose of this study was to compare perfusion parameters of the parafovea with scans outside the parafovea to find an area most susceptible to changes secondary to diabetic retinopathy (DR).Patie...

Vascular changes precede tomographic changes in diabetic eyes without retinopathy and improve artificial intelligence diagnostics.

May 12, 2020

The purpose of this study was to evaluate early vascular and tomographic changes in the retina of diabetic patients using artificial intelligence (AI). The study included 74 age-matched normal eyes, 1...

Prevalence and associated phenotypes of DUSP6, IL17RD and SPRY4 variants in a large Chinese cohort with isolated hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.

May 12, 2020

FGF8-FGFR1 signalling is involved in multiple biological processes, while impairment of this signalling is one of the main reasons for isolated hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH). Recently, several n...

Retinal Tissue Bioengineering, Materials and Methods for the Treatment of Glaucoma.

May 12, 2020

Glaucoma, a characteristic type of optic nerve degeneration in the posterior pole of the eye, is a common cause of irreversible vision loss and the second leading cause of blindness worldwide. As an o...

Expression of mRNAs, miRNAs, and lncRNAs in Human Trabecular Meshwork Cells Upon Mechanical Stretch.

May 12, 2020

Intraocular pressure (IOP), the primary risk factor for primary open-angle glaucoma, is determined by resistance to aqueous outflow through the trabecular meshwork (TM). IOP homeostasis relies on TM r...

Comparison of Lamina Cribrosa Morphology in Normal Tension Glaucoma and Autosomal-Dominant Optic Atrophy.

May 12, 2020

To compare lamina cribrosa (LC) morphology in patients with normal tension glaucoma (NTG) and autosomal-dominant optic atrophy (ADOA).This cross-sectional study matched 24 patients diagnosed with ADOA...

Review of Longitudinal Glaucoma Progression: 5 Years after the Shaffer Lecture.

May 12, 2020

In 2013, the senior author delivered the American Academy of Ophthalmology Robert N. Shaffer Lecture entitled "Glaucoma Changes-Reality Bites." This talk focused on describing the longitudinal structu...

Disease Course in Siblings With Stargardt Disease

May 08, 2020

Stargardt disease (STGD1) is an autosomal recessively inherited retinal disease (IRD) caused by variants in the ABCA4 gene, and it is characterized by degeneration of the central retina, leading to de...

Prediction of vestibular schwannoma recurrence using artificial neural network.

Apr 28, 2020

To compare two statistical models, namely logistic regression and artificial neural network (ANN), in prediction of vestibular schwannoma (VS) recurrence.Seven hundred eighty-nine patients with VS dia...

microRNA-216a protects against human retinal microvascular endothelial cell injury in diabetic retinopathy by suppressing the NOS2/JAK/STAT axis.

Apr 28, 2020

Since microRNAs (miRNAs) represent as effective therapeutic targets for diabetic retinopathy (DR), we identified aberrantly expressed miRNAs related to cellular dysfunction in DR and further detected ...

Neurodegeneration in systemic lupus erythematosus: layer by layer retinal study using optical coherence tomography.

Apr 28, 2020

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic, autoimmune and multisystemic disease. Recent studies with functional and structural magnetic resonance imaging and cognitive tests report an unexpected...

High Glucose Increases Binding of Lysyl Oxidase to Extracellular Matrix Proteins: Implications for Diabetic Retinopathy.

Apr 28, 2020

To determine whether high glucose (HG) compromises internalization of lysyl oxidase (LOX) through excess binding of LOX with extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins.To determine whether HG promotes bindin...

Acute Hyperglycemia Reverses Neurovascular Coupling During Dark to Light Adaptation in Healthy Subjects on Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography.

Apr 28, 2020

To test the hypothesis that hyperglycemia perturbs neurovascular coupling and compromises retinal vascular response during transition from dark to light in healthy subjects using optical coherence tom...

Mutations in SPATA13/ASEF2 cause primary angle closure glaucoma.

Apr 28, 2020

Current estimates suggest 50% of glaucoma blindness worldwide is caused by primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) but the causative gene is not known. We used genetic linkage and whole genome sequencin...

Using 24-hr ocular dimensional profile recorded with a sensing contact lens to identify primary open-angle glaucoma patients with intraocular pressure constantly below the diagnostic threshold.

Apr 28, 2020

To evaluate the use of a 24-hr ocular dimensional profile recorded with a contact lens sensor (CLS) combined with a single tonometric intraocular pressure (IOP) reading to indicate the potential for e...

Aqueous inflammation and ischemia related biomarkers in neovascular glaucoma with stable iris neovascularization.

Apr 28, 2020

To characterize the aqueous levels of inflammation and ischemia related biomarkers in a spectrum of retinal ischemic conditions, including neovascular glaucoma (NVG) with stable iris neovascularizatio...
