A clinical need exists for more effective intravitreal (IVT) drug delivery systems (DDS). This study tested the hypothesis that a novel biodegradable, injectable microsphere-hydrogel system loaded with aflibercept (aflibercept-DDS) would exhibit long-term safety and biocompatibility in non-human primate (NHP) model. We generated aflibercept-loaded poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) microparticles modified double emulsion technique then embedded them into thermo-responsive (ethylene...
Abstract Congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB) is an ocular disorder characterized by nyctalopia. An autosomal recessive missense mutation in glutamate metabotropic receptor 6 ( GRM6 c.533C>T, p.(Thr178Met)), called CSNB2 , was previously identified one Tennessee Walking Horse and predicted to reduce binding affinity of the neurotransmitter glutamate, impacting retinal rod ON‐bipolar cell signaling pathway. Thus, first aim identify allele frequency (AF) breeds with reported cases...
Abstract Objective To report the long‐term (>1 year) outcome of MicroPulse transscleral diode cyclophotocoagulation (MP‐TSCP) in dogs. Animals Studied Client owned dogs that underwent MP‐TSCP at a veterinary referral center. Procedure Retrospective study 19 treated with MP‐TSCP. Dogs were evaluated median follow‐up time 30.5 months postoperatively. Reported outcomes intraocular pressure (IOP), retention or loss vision, number medications, and additional procedures performed. Variables...
Sjogren's disease, well-described in people, is rarely identified veterinary species. In disease one of the most common systemic autoimmune disorders with an incidence 0.5% female population. The hallmark histopathologic finding primary lymphomononuclear cell infiltrates aggregating as periductal infiltrate salivary glands. Sjogren's-like has been reported a domestic shorthair cat and golden retriever dog. However, both lacked positive antinuclear antibody (ANA) titers dog showed no clinical...
