Experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU) is a T cell-mediated disease that targets the neural retina and serves as model of human uveitis. Uveitogenic effector cells have Th1-like phenotype (high IFN-gamma, low IL-4), genetic susceptibility to EAU associated with an elevated Th1 response. Here we investigate whether ability produce IFN-gamma necessary for development by immunizing IFN-gamma-deficient (GKO) mice uveitogenic protein interphotoreceptor retinoid binding (IRBP) characterize...
To determine the indications, relative frequencies, surgical times, and complications for enucleation evisceration performed at a single academic center.Medical records of all patients who underwent an or between January 1st, 1990 December 31st, 2009 center were reviewed. Patient demographics recorded.A total 85 eyes in (n = 31; 36%) 54; 64%) during study period. Almost African descent (96%). The most common underlying cause leading to eye removal was trauma. On average, eviscerations (47.3...
Young-onset rectal cancer, in patients less than 50 years, is expected to increase the coming years. A watch-and-wait strategy nowadays increasingly practised with a clinical complete response (cCR) after neoadjuvant treatment. Nevertheless, there may be reluctance offer organ preservation treatment young owing potentially higher oncological risk. This study compared aged years those or more identify possible differences outcomes of watch and wait.The analysed data from cCR therapy whom...
<h3>Importance</h3> Suboptimal overlap in outcomes reported clinical trials and systematic reviews compromises efforts to compare summarize results across these studies. <h3>Objectives</h3> To examine the most frequent used of 4 prevalent eye diseases (age-related macular degeneration [AMD], cataract, diabetic retinopathy [DR], glaucoma) between included reviews. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This cross-sectional study examined all Cochrane that addressed AMD, DR, glaucoma; were...
High intraocular pressure (IOP) is a major risk factor for glaucoma, one of the leading causes blindness worldwide. Because it has been demonstrated that African populations are at increased authors investigated genetic basis IOP in sample West Africans with type 2 diabetes (T2D) from Ghana and Nigeria.Genomewide linkage analysis was conducted loci linked to (measured by applanation tonometry) 244 affected sibling pairs T2D using 372 autosomal short-tandem repeat markers an average spacing 9...
To investigate the association between neighborhood-level socioeconomic factors, quantified by Distressed Communities Index, and emergency department visits for diabetic retinopathy (DR).
To describe the patterns and predictors of adherence to topical glaucoma medication during hospitalization for medical disease.Retrospective, nonrandomized, comparative case-series.Medical records all patients hospitalized with a secondary diagnosis between January 2006 March 2009 were reviewed. Baseline characteristics recorded including sex, ethnicity, age, primary diagnosis, length stay. The outpatient medications known on admission prescribed at time recorded, numbers inpatient systemic...
Abstract Introduction We created a virtual rotation to facilitate the exposure of ophthalmology medical students and serve as pilot program help attract from under-represented in medicine (URM) backgrounds. In addition eliminating financial burdens associated with in-person away rotations, we offered not-for-credit (i.e., drop-in) option that included sessions outside typical clinic hours. This reduced scheduling conflicts barrier enrollment allowed junior postgraduates participate hopefully...
