To evaluate choroidal thickness (CTh) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) compared to healthy controls.Cross-sectional.Setting: Ambulatory clinic of a large city hospital. Patient population: Thirty-four had documented CAD, defined as history >50% obstruction at least one on cardiac catheterization, positive stress test, ST elevation myocardial infarction, or revascularization procedure. Twenty-eight age-matched controls no self-reported CAD diabetes. Patients high myopia, dense...
Purpose: To illustrate a technique for the removal of subretinal gas via pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with air-fluid exchange and simultaneous manipulation scleral depression. Methods: PPV to remove causing persistent macula-off retinal detachment was performed in one eye, results were evaluated this case report. Ports carefully placed avoid puncturing retina, which significantly displaced anteriorly past ora serrata due buoyancy patient supine position. After performed, an initiated flatten...
Purpose: To describe a patient with progressive visual symptoms and reduced retinal sensitivity corresponding to dark without pressure (DWP). Methods: Retrospective chart review of single patient. Comprehensive ophthalmic examinations multimodal imaging techniques, including optical coherence tomography (OCT), OCT-angiography, microperimetry, were analyzed. Results: A 23-year-old male presented peripheral areas blurred vision superiorly in his right eye temporally left eye. These...
Purpose There is no national standard for ophthalmology curricula in U.S. and Canadian medical schools. We aim to evaluate students' perceptions of the current curriculum without mandatory rotation at New York University School Medicine (NYUSOM). Design A cross-sectional Internet survey. Methods survey was distributed all NYUSOM students March May 2017. The main parameters measured study were self-reported confidence with skills satisfaction curriculum. Results Response rate 27.5% (166 604)...
Abstract Background This study aimed to identify best practices for treating 13q deletion syndrome (13q−) patients with retinoblastoma in the era of super‐selective ophthalmic artery chemosurgery (OAC) and intravitreal injection therapy (IVIT). Methods Retrospective 21 eyes from 14 13q− who were treated at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) between May 2006 2020, a mean follow up 3.7 years. Ocular survival, patient treatment toxicities assessed. Results Nine 12 that underwent...
Purpose: To report a case of bilateral toxic corneal and conjunctival epitheliopathy secondary to administration filter paper impregnated with lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) in the inferior fornices. Methods: This is single an 18-year-old man who presented emergency department acute, eye pain redness 24 hours. The patient admitted placing folded strips blotting LSD into fornices his eyes previous night. Results: was found have localized abrasions underlying subconjunctival hemorrhage....
To describe a rare case of silicone oil emulsification that occurred only three months postoperatively. We discuss the implications for postoperative counseling.
Abstract Purpose Ophthalmology residency training heavily relies on visual and pattern recognition-based learning. In parallel with traditional reference texts, online internet search via Google Image Search (GIS) is commonly used offers an accessible fund of images for ophthalmology trainees seeking rapid exposure to retinal pathology. However, the accuracy quality this tool within context unknown. We aim evaluate GIS selected pathologies. Methods A cross-sectional study was performed 15...
We present a patient with primary vasoproliferative tumor (VPT) accompanied by vitreous haze and an epiretinal membrane (ERM). report for the first time cytokine profile from eye VPT to explore relationship between intraocular inflammation these tumors.
A carotid cavernous fistula (CCF) is a pathological connection between the internal or external artery and sinus venous system. Pregnancy has been proposed as risk factor for spontaneous CCF, but exact mechanism of unknown. Overall, there are few published reports describing CCF in pregnancy. Study this relationship further complicated by potential ambiguity diagnosing which may present subtle, nonspecific findings on initial workup. We report case during pregnancy diagnostic process was...
Purpose We aimed to describe changes in the geographic distribution of self-reported visual impairment (VI) over last decade (2010–2019) U.S.
GABAergic interneurons have many important functions in cortical circuitry, a reflection of their diversity as cell population. However, the developmental origins this are poorly understood. Here, we identify rostral-caudal gradient Wnt-responsiveness that delineates specification two main interneuron subclasses. Caudallysituated medial ganglionic eminence (MGE) progenitors receive high levels Wnt signaling and give rise to somatostatin (SST)-expressing interneurons. Parvalbumin...
