INTRAVITREAL BEVACIZUMAB AS PRIMARY TREATMENT FOR RETINAL ANGIOMATOUS PROLIFERATION: Twelve-Month Results.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
In this prospective nonrandomized interventional case series, 17 eyes from 16 patients with neovascularization secondary to retinal angiomatous proliferation were consecutively treated with intravitreal bevacizumab 1.25 mg. At 12 months, treated eyes had a significant functional and anatomical improvement. Treatment resulted in complete absence of angiographic leakage in 82% of eyes.Page: 740DOI: 10.1097/IAE.0b013e3181a0be1dAuthors: GHARBIYA, MAGDA MD; ALLIEVI, FRANCESCA MD; RECUPERO, VINCENZO MD; MARTINI, DELIA MD; MAZZEO, LUIGI MD; GABRIELI, CORRADO BALACCO MD

RETINAL STRUCTURAL CHANGES ASSOCIATED WITH RETINAL ARTERIAL MACROANEURYSM EXAMINED WITH OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Retinal arterial macroaneurysm can cause hemorrhagic and/or exudative complications. Eyes with minimal hemorrhage from the aneurysm often showed an extensive exudative change that extended to the fovea. In these eyes, retinal edema was seen predominantly in the outer nuclear layer, accompanying a focal serous retinal detachment beneath the fovea.Page: 782DOI: 10.1097/IAE.0b013e3181a2f26aAuthors: TSUJIKAWA, AKITAKA MD; SAKAMOTO, ATSUSHI MD; OTA, MASAFUMI MD; OH, HIDEYASU MD; MIYAMOTO, KAZUAKI MD; KITA, MIHORI MD; YOSHIMURA, NAGAHISA MD

A retrospective optical coherence tomographic study with a manually assisted computer algorithm that analyzes optical coherence tomography images quantitatively showed that eyes with polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy had a higher incidence of serous retinal detachments, greater serous retinal detachment height, and less intraretinal edema than eyes with exudative age-related macular degeneration.Page: 793DOI: 10.1097/IAE.0b013e3181a3b7d9Authors: OZAWA, SHINSUKE MD; ISHIKAWA, KOHEI MD; ITO, YASUKI MD; NISHIHARA, HIROAKI MD; YAMAKOSHI, TOMOMI MD; HATTA, YOSHIYUKI MD; TERASAKI, HIROKO MD

FOCAL MACULAR ELECTRORETINOGRAMS AFTER PHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY COMBINED WITH POSTERIOR JUXTASCLERAL TRIAMCINOLONE ACETONIDE.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The combined use of triamcinolone acetonide with photodynamic therapy mitigated the impaired retinal function. However, cases of severe choroidal hypoperfusion whose area coincided with the laser spot had slightly impaired retinal function, but retinal function was better preserved by the combined use of triamcinolone acetonide than by photodynamic therapy alone.Page: 803DOI: 10.1097/IAE.0b013e31819c631aAuthors: ISHIKAWA, KOHEI MD; NISHIHARA, HIROAKI MD; OZAWA, SHINSUKE MD; PIAO, CHANG-HUA MD; ITO, YASUKI MD; KONDO, MINEO MD; TERASAKI, HIROKO MD

Peripheral 360-degree retinectomy was done in 20 eyes with complicated retinal detachments. Ambulatory vision and retinal reattachment were achieved in 40% and 70% of cases, respectively. Keratopathy (50%), hypotony (40%), and macular pucker (30%) were the most common complications.

VITAL DYES FOR MACULAR SURGERY: A Comparative Electron Microscopy Study of the Internal Limiting Membrane.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
In dye-assisted macular surgery, trypan blue, brilliant blue G, bromphenol blue, and Chicago blue cause significantly less morphologic changes at the retinal cleavage plane of the internal limiting membrane than indocyanine green. If morphologic changes correlate with functional deficits remains to be elucidated.Page: 669DOI: 10.1097/IAE.0b013e318196b1c8Authors: SCHUMANN, RICARDA G.

EFFECTS OF PERFLUOROCARBON LIQUIDS AND SILICONE OIL ON HUMAN RETINAL PIGMENT EPITHELIAL CELLS AND RETINAL GANGLION CELLS.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The current study show that perfluorocarbon liquid is directly toxic to human retinal pigment epithelial cells (ARPE-19 cells) and that retinal ganglion cells are damaged in a time-dependent manner by the more mechanical than toxic effects of perfluorocarbon liquid. Silicone oil seems to exert mechanical than toxic effects on ARPE-19 cells.Page: 677DOI: 10.1097/IAE.0b013e318196fca1Authors: INOUE, MAIKO MD *; IRIYAMA, AYA MD +; KADONOSONO, KAZUAKI MD, PhD *; TAMAKI, YASUHIRO MD, PhD +; YANAGI, YASUO MD, PhD +

MACULAR DYSTROPHY ASSOCIATED WITH THE ARG172TRP SUBSTITUTION IN PERIPHERIN/RDS: Genotype-Phenotype Correlation.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
This paper demonstrates that visual prognosis in macular dystrophies associated with peripherin/RDS mutations may be mutation specific and, for the Arginine172Tryptophan substitution, worse than the Arginine142Tryptophan and Arg172Gln substitutions. It supports homogeneity of presentation and progression with the Arg172Trp substitution and provides quantitative estimates for progression of geographic atrophy and decline of visual acuity with age.Page: 682DOI: 10.1097/IAE.0b013e318198dbedAuthors: ANAND, SEEMA FRCSEd (Ophthal) *; SHERIDAN, EAMONN MRCOG +; CASSIDY, FRANCES BSc *++; INGLEHEARN, CHRIS PhD ++; WILLIAMS, GRANGE +...

TRIAMCINOLONE ACETONIDE PREPARATIONS: Impact of Crystal Size on In Vitro Behavior.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The authors observed that preservative-free triamcinolone acetonide in an in vitro environment has more aggregates of smaller size than triamcinolone acetonide and triamcinolone acetonide injectable suspension. Triamcinolone acetonide injectable suspension has much larger aggregate size than preservative-free triamcinolone acetonide and triamcinolone acetonide, and this size increases over time after the injection.Page: 689DOI: 10.1097/IAE.0b013e31819e390aAuthors: MOSHFEGHI, ANDREW A.
