Abstract

Indocyanine green (ICG) angiography may improve visualization of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) associated with serous retinal pigment epithelial detachment (RPED) in age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The features of ICG hyperfluorescence associated with serous RPED and therapeutic effect of ICG-directed laser photocoagulation in eyes with serous RPED is evaluated. Retrospective review of all simultaneous fluorescein/ICG angiograms (n = 918) performed over an 18-month period to identify 44 eyes in 39 patients with serous RPED secondary to AMD on fluorescein angiography. Thirty-nine patients with AMD, aged 53 to 89 years, participated. Eyes were nonrandomly treated with ICG-directed laser photocoagulation or observation. Characteristics of ICG hyperfluorescence associated with a serous RPED are reviewed. Final visual acuity and anatomic appearance of the serous RPED are given. Twenty-three (52%) of the 44 eyes had an isolated serous RPED without obvious CNV, and 21 (48%) of the 44 eyes had a serous RPED associated with occult CNV on fluorescein angiography. Indocyanine green angiography demonstrated underlying CNV in 19 eyes (83%) with an isolated serous RPED and in all 21 eyes (100%) with serous RPED and occult CNV. T...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.
