Abstract

To investigate whether any peripapillary retinal blood flow changes are related to disc hemorrhage (DH). The study included 21 eyes of 21 patients, of which 14 eyes had glaucoma. All eyes were examined at the time of detection of DH and again 6 months later. Blood flow in the peripapillary retina was measured by scanning laser Doppler flowmetry (Heidelberg Retina Flowmeter), with four adjacent images focused on the peripapillary nerve fiber layer obtained. Retinal perfusion was calculated in arbitrary units by automatic full-field perfusion image analysis. The mean of all four rectangles representing the whole temporal peripapillary retina plus the rectangle representing the area of DH served for analysis. The mean of measurements in all four areas revealed a statistically significant increase in mean flow (MF), systolic flow (SF), and diastolic flow (DF), and a decrease in pulsation index (PI). The rectangle representing the area of DH showed a significant increase in MF, but the SF increase was of borderline significance. Changes in DF and PI did not reach statistical significance. Results indicate reduced flow at the time of DH and increased flow after resorption.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
