Automated Measurement and Three-Dimensional Fitting of Corneal Ulcerations and Erosions via AI-Based Image Analysis
CONCLUSIONS: The developed algorithm is capable of reliably providing exact values for corneal lesion sizes. Additionally, three-dimensional modeling of the corneal surface is essential for an accurate measurement of lesion sizes. Besides telemedicine applications, this approach harbors great potential for clinical trials where exact quantitative and observer-independent measurements are essential.PMID:38689527 | DOI:10.1080/02713683.2024.2344197 (Source: Current Eye Research)

Choriocapillaris Perfusion after 8 Weeks of High-Speed Circuit Training in Older Healthy Adults

Analyzing Tear Fluid Composition by Synchronous Fluorescence for Diagnosing Dry Eye Disease and the Role of Phytotherapy Intervention
CONCLUSION: There was change in the electrical conductivity of tear fluid proteins. In the case of dry eyes, they became electrical insulators, while in the case of treatment with extracts, their electrical conductivity properties improved. The effects of phytotherapy can be related to the high content of ellagic acid and anthocyanin of pomegranate extract, while in green tea, they are related to catechins and phenolic compounds.PMID:38679902 | DOI:10.1080/02713683.2024.2344184 (Source: Current Eye Research)

The Effect of Steroid Intervention before Vitrectomy for Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment Associated with Choroidal Detachment: A Meta-Analysis and Systematic Review
CONCLUSION: Patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment associated with choroidal detachment who did not receive preoperative steroids achieved the same effect as patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment associated with choroidal detachment who did receive preoperative steroids in terms of retinal reattachment rate and visual acuity. It is recommended that patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment associated with choroidal detachment undergo surgery as promptly as possible.PMID:38679916 | DOI:10.1080/02713683.2024.2343333 (Source: Current Eye Research)

Rose Bengal Photodynamic Therapy (RB-PDT) Modulates the Inflammatory Response in LPS-Stimulated Human Corneal Fibroblasts By Influencing NF- κB and p38 MAPK Signaling Pathways
CONCLUSION: Rose bengal photodynamic therapy of lipopolysaccharide-stimulated human corneal fibroblasts can modify the inflammatory response by inducing interleukin-6 and interleukin-8 expression, and decreasing intercellular adhesion molecule-1 production. C-C motif chemokine ligand-4, interferon regulatory factor-3, and interferon α and β expressions are not affected by rose bengal photodynamic therapy in these cells. The underlying mechanisms may be associated with nuclear factor kappa B and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway activation.PMID:38646925 | DOI:10.1080/02713683.2024.2342600 (Source: Current Eye Research)

Myopia and Rate of Peripapillary Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness in Diabetic Patients Without Retinopathy: A 2-Year Longitudinal Study
CONCLUSIONS: The diabetes group showed a faster rate of average pRNFL thickness reduction compared to healthy controls, regardless of the presence of myopia. The average pRNFL thickness decreased more rapidly when diabetes and myopia were present simultaneously than in the individual diabetes or myopia group. Both diabetes and myopia were associated with accelerated pRNFL loss.PMID:38647053 | DOI:10.1080/02713683.2024.2327087 (Source: Current Eye Research)
