Evaluation of antibacterial efficacy of photo-activated riboflavin using ultraviolet light (UVA)Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion Riboflavin photo-activation using UVA (365 nm) can achieve an extensive eradication of bacteria, and the combination is more potent in reducing bacterial number than UV alone.

Amlodipine effects on vasomotion in rabbit external ophthalmic arteryEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions Our study has two main conclusions: (1) amlodipine, an L-type calcium channel blocker, caused intense vasodilation and decreased both frequency and amplitude of the spontaneous oscillations observed in the rabbit external ophthalmic artery and its collaterals, and (2) when we applied amlodipine in arteries previously contracted by the administration of ET-1, vascular resistance greatly decreased and spontaneous oscillations were abolished. Since ET-1 levels are increased in several ischemic ocular diseases, amlodipine might be beneficial in these patients, allowing a protective action against vas...

Smokestack leak in central serous chorioretinopathyEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions The clinical study revealed smokestack leaks to be significantly more common in a primary acute episode, and they usually develop in the early part of the acute phase of the disease (average duration 15 ± 34.28 days). Rarely, this type of leak can occur in the chronic stage, and multiple leaks may develop in the same detached space. The various patterns of dye movement due to convection currents in the experimental model resembled the dye movement in certain cases of CSC of the present series. The experimental study also hinted at the probability of drainage of unbound fluorescein molec...

Preoperative duration of retinal detachment and subretinal immunoreactive endothelin-1: repercussion on logarithmic visual acuityEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions Preoperative RD duration showed statistically significant positive correlations with pre- and with postoperative 8 months LogMAR VAs in both the no-PVR and the PVR groups and with IR-ET-1 measurements (plasma and SRF: lower correlations) only in the no-PVR group. These findings support the idea of doing primary and prompt vitrectomy for RD and perhaps using coadjutant pharmacologic therapy in order to improve visual results.

Detection of contamination during organ culture of the human corneaEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion Detection probability of contaminations in organ culture media does not increase between days 3 and 8; therefore, sterility can be tested on day 3. With the recommended follow-up after sterility testing being 7 days, microbiologic release can take place after 10 days of culture. Nevertheless, the testing is not failsafe, and should always be combined with macroscopic inspection of the media.

The NEI VFQ-25 vision-related quality of life and prevalence of eye disease in a working populationEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions Normal values of the VFQ-25 performance in a large number of working people in Germany are given with a clear age dependency. A combination of refraction, IOP, CDR and some VFQ subscales could reasonably well exclude any prevalent eye disease. For screening purposes, neither variable nor combination was sufficiently sensitive and specific.

Conclusion CRT and age of patients have prognostic value in bevacizumab therapy of ME due to CRVO. CRVO patients who benefit from therapy are significantly younger and have a lower CRT at baseline than patients with persisting ME.

Relationship between angiographic and optical coherence tomographic (OCT) parameters for quantifying choroidal neovascular lesionsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions OCT features of CNV lesions as measured by manual quantitative subanalysis correlate better with angiographic parameters than values provided by the automated StratusOCT analysis. These measures may improve our understanding of the morphologic effects of CNV lesions and may facilitate the development of a hybrid FA and OCT-based classification system for future clinical trials, which more fully characterizes CNV lesions.
