Background/Aims Neurofilament light chain (NfL) levels in cerebrospinal fluid and serum are reliable indicators for neuroaxonal damage a broad spectrum of neurodegenerative diseases. Herein, we investigate NfL anterior chamber patients with glaucoma. Methods Patients scheduled routine glaucoma or cataract surgery were recruited this study. Retinal nerve fibre layer thickness was measured by optical coherence tomography (OCT, Heidelberg Spectralis). analysed Simoa SR-X Analyzer (Quanterix;...
To evaluate the relevance of external limiting membrane (ELM) on visual and morphological results in eyes with diabetic macular edema (DME) that underwent pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) epiretinal (ERM) internal (ILM) peeling.Medical records patients DME who PPV at our unit between January 2017 December 2019 were reviewed. We assessed preoperative postoperative best-corrected acuity (BCVA), central thickness (CMT) using spectral domain OCT (optical coherence tomography). Exclusion criteria...
Summary Background The aim of the study was to assess omega‑3 index and proportions other relevant fatty acids (FAs) in patients undergoing vitrectomy due severe diabetic ocular complications. According evidence, an optimal range is 8–11% a high level saturated FAs correlate with advanced retinopathy (DR). Methods Patients diabetes mellitus (DM) macular edema or vitreous hemorrhage secondary proliferative DRP were recruited for this study. Prior surgery, index, defined as proportion...
