Changes in the iris vasculature and corneal endothelium in chronic cyclitis

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Ophthalmology

Abstract

Fluorescein angiography of the iris vasculature and specular microscopy of the corneal endothelium were used to examine two important anterior chamber tissues in cases of heterochromic cyclitis, classical chronic cyclitis and some cases of iridocyclitis. The 13 cases of heterochromic cyclitis and eight cases of classical chronic cyclitis all showed vascular hypoperfusion of the iris, except for two young females with heterochromia. In these cyclitic eyes there was pupillary leakage of dye and all but one young female with heterochromia showed evidence of microneovascularization of the iris. Most patients showed evidence of abnormalities of the corneal endothelium, but this was most marked in elderly patients with heterochromic cyclitis, probably due to the long duration of the condition. Six of the patients with chronic cyclitis had bilateral disease and five of these were elderly women with glaucoma and grey irides, the group being distinct enough to form a discrete clinical entity. Seventeen of the patients with chronic cyclitis were females with grey irides suggesting that this type of patient is more susceptible to cyclitis. Patients with acute iridocyclitis showed little abnormality on fluorescein angiography, while those ...Continue Reading

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.
