There are consolidated data about multiple sclerosis (MS)–dependent retinal neurodegeneration occurring in the optic disk and the macula, although it is unclear whether other retinal regions are affected. Our objective is to evaluate, for the first t...
Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a common neurological disease affecting the optic nerve, directly or indirectly, through transsynaptic axonal degeneration along the visual pathway. New ophthalmological tools, arguably the most important being...
Purpose: The aim of this study is too correlate the sensitivity and thickness values of intraretinal layers at macula in healthy eyes and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) eyes. Methods: The thickness of different intraretinal segmentations was esti...
Objectives: To evaluate the utility of widefield montage swept-source OCT angiography (SS-OCTA) in detecting and monitoring retinal vasculitis beyond the posterior pole. Methods: Prospective case series. Patients with clinically diagnosed retinal vas...
(1) Background: This study aimed to determine the diagnostic accuracy that optical coherence tomography (OCT) can add to fundus photography (FP) in assessing the condition of the retinal posterior pole. (2) Methods: We conducted two blocks of analysi...
To investigate different wide-field fundus autofluorescence (FAF) patterns in a large cohort of Polish patients with inherited retinal dystrophies (IRDs) of different genotypes sorted into groups of at least 5 patients. A total of 103 patients with I...
Background: This study aims to delineate anatomical landmarks crucial for complete mesocolic excision, focusing on Gerota’s fascia, which guides surgical dissection in right-sided colon cancer, forming the posterior limit. Employing a multimoda...
T. gondii is a eukaryotic parasite that has evolved a stage called tachyzoite which multiplies in host cells by producing two daughter cells internally. These nascent tachyzoites bud off their mother and repeat the division process until the expandin...
Semantic cues in the Free and Cued Selective Reminding Test (FCRST) play a key role in the neuropsychological diagnosis of Amnesic Mild Cognitive Impairment due to Alzheimer’s Disease (MCI-AD); however, the neural bases of their impact of recal...
Purpose: Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) has been applied to uveitis and intraocular inflammation since its availability after 2014. The imaging of retinal and choroidal vascularization without the use of dyes was a major development...
Background: Phacoemulsification (PE) is a gold standard method of cataract surgery. PE causes structural changes in the macula of the eye. The aim was to determine the amount of ultrasound (US) energy applied during PE, the change in thickness of the...
Background and Objectives: To document, through multimodal imaging, the post-procedural clinical course and visual outcome of a patient who received intra-arterial tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) for acute iatrogenic branch retinal artery occlusio...
Schizophrenia is a pathological condition characterized by delusions, hallucinations, and a lack of motivation. In this study, we performed a morphological analysis of regional biomarkers in early-onset schizophrenia, including cortical thicknesses,...
Multiple sclerosis (MS) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) cause retinal thinning that is detectable in vivo using optical coherence tomography (OCT). To date, no papers have compared the two diseases in terms of the structural differences they produ...
Early detection is important in glaucoma management. By using optical coherence tomography (OCT), the subtle structural changes caused by glaucoma can be detected. Though OCT provided abundant parameters for comprehensive information, clinicians may...
(1) Background: Calculation of vessel density in optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) images with thresholding algorithms varies in clinical routine. The ability to discriminate healthy from diseased eyes based on perfusion of the posterio...
Computer vision is a powerful tool in medical image analysis, supporting the early detection and classification of eye diseases. Diabetic retinopathy (DR), a severe eye disease secondary to diabetes, accompanies several early signs of eye-threatening...
Genetic variations in ephrin type-A receptor 2 (EPHA2) have been associated with inherited and age-related forms of cataract in humans. Here, we have characterized the eye lens phenotype and transcript profile of germline Epha2 knock-in mutant mice h...
Background: 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron-emission-tomography (PET) allows detection of cerebral metabolic alterations in neurological diseases vs. normal aging. We assess age- and sex-related brain metabolic changes in healthy subjects,...
Background: Indolent, nonprogressive, multifocal choroidal lesions (INMCLs) are low-grade B-cell lymphoid infiltration with a good visual prognosis, yet their impact on choroidal circulation remains poorly understood. Clinical Significance: We report...
Retinal detachments following blunt ocular trauma are challenging to predict due to the complex and transient biomechanical responses of the globe. This study combines an in vitro weight-drop experiment and finite element analysis (FEA) to evaluate t...
Diabetic macular edema (DME) is a major ocular complication of diabetes mellitus (DM), leading to significant visual impairment. DME’s pathogenesis is multifactorial. Focal edema tends to occur when primary metabolic abnormalities lead to a per...
Background and objectives: Ocular massage (OM) is used as a treatment option for acute retinal artery occlusion, under the assumption that it induces vessel dilatation and enhances perfusion. Since evidence of ocular perfusion alteration due to OM is...
Background/Objectives: Major Depression (MD) is a common disorder that has significant social and economic impacts. Approximately 30% of all MD patients are refractory to common treatments, representing a major obstacle to managing the impacts of dep...
Background: In this study we aimed at investigating macular perfusion/anatomical changes in eyes with early onset rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) after prompt surgery within 24 hours, comparing a bisected macula and not bisected macula RRD. M...
