To compare the number of eye surgical procedures performed in Italy 2 months following beginning lockdown (study period) because COVID-19 epidemic with those two earlier same year (intra-year control) and period 2019 corresponding to (inter-year control).Retrospective analysis carried out at 39 Academic hospitals. A distinction was made between elective urgent procedures. Intravitreal injections were also considered. Percentages for all incidence rate ratios (IRR) rhegmatogenous retinal...
Elevated intraocular pressure is a crucial pathologic event for the development of glaucoma (GL). We have reported that nerve growth factor (NGF) reaches retinal cells and optic (ON) when applied to eye. Whether ocular application NGF prevents or reduces damage ganglion cell (RGC) not known.GL was induced in adult rats by injection hypertonic saline into episcleral vein right eye left used as control. Rats were then treated daily with vehicle solution 7 weeks. Retinal ON tissues structural,...
To assess the ocular surface in volunteers who consider themselves as healthy, order to evaluate how para-inflammatory mechanisms fail with age, and thus investigate phenomenon of "InflammAging."In this observational prospective cohort study, were categorized into three groups according age: young (19-40 years), middle-aged (41-60 older adults (61-93 years). Clinical assessments included tear breakup time (T-BUT) Schirmer test type I. Dry eye symptoms evaluated by Ocular Surface Disease...
Dry Eye Disease (DED) is an increasingly common condition that affects between 5% and 50% of the global population. Even though DED most frequently diagnosed in older people, it has also been young adults adolescents more recent years (employees, gamers). People can experience different types symptoms find challenging to read, watch TV, cook, climb stairs, meet friends. Mild severe dry eye reduce quality life similarly mild psoriasis moderate-to-severe angina. Furthermore, patients serious...
Age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) is a severe disease affecting visual function in the elderly. Currently available surgical and medical options do not guarantee significant impact on outcome of disease. We describe effects nerve growth factor eye drop treatment 94 years old female with ARMD, whose acuity was progressively worsening spite previous treatments. NGF drops improved electrofunctional parameters as early 3 months after initiation treatment. These results are line reports...
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect nerve growth factor (NGF) administration on retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in experimentally induced glaucoma (GL) and diabetic retinopathy (DR). GL adult rats by injection hypertonic saline into episcleral vein eye diabetes (DT) streptozoticin. Control experimental were treated daily with either ocular application NGF or vehicle solution. We found that both animal models present a progressive degeneration RGCs changing VEGF levels retina...
Metabolomics has been applied to diagnose diseases, predict disease progression, and design therapeutic strategies in various areas of medicine. However, it remains be the ocular surface where biological samples are often limited quantities. We successfully performed proof-of-concept metabolomics assessment volume-limited cytology from a clinical form chronic inflammatory cicatrizing conjunctivitis, i.e., MMP discovered metabolic changes signaling lipid mediators upon onset progression. The...
Purpose To study with laser flare photometry the antiinflammatory effect of bromfenac added to a topical steroid versus alone in patients pseudoexfoliation (PXF) syndrome after cataract surgery. Setting Ophthalmology Unit, Santa Maria Nuova Hospital, Reggio Emilia, Italy. Design Randomized clinical trial. Methods Patients and signs PXF were randomized dexamethasone 0.1% tobramycin 0.3% ophthalmic solution (Group 1) or adjunct 0.09% 2). All examined on day surgery (baseline) postoperatively...
