Abstract

To study the evolution of lamellar macular holes (LMHs) using spectral domain-optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). Thirty-four consecutive patients diagnosed with a LMH were followed prospectively at Sacco University Hospital from October 2008 to January 2011. Inclusion criteria were a foveal defect on SD-OCT with residual foveal tissue above the retinal pigment epithelium and corresponding hyperautofluorescence on fundus autofluorescence imaging. Epiretinal membranes (ERMs) were categorized by SD-OCT at baseline as two different types: normal and thicker than normal. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and SD-OCT findings were collected and compared at baseline and every 6 months thereafter. Active eye tracking technology ensured that the same scanning location was identified on follow-up visits. Main outcome measures were visual acuity changes (Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy charts) and progression of the lamellar macular defect. The influence of ERM type on disease progression was also evaluated. The patients included 15 males and 19 females with a mean age of 73 years and mean refraction of -0.25 diopters. The mean follow-up period was 18 months (range 6 to 24 months). BCVA at baseline (±standard deviation) was 63 ±...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.
