From the bedside to the bench and back again, with corneal confocal microscopy.
In this issue of IOVS, Davidson and colleagues apply a range of conventional techniques and the novel ophthalmic technique of corneal confocal microscopy (CCM) to phenotype nerve damage in an experimental model of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes. The key findings are that CCM allows a noninvasive demonstration of an early reduction in corneal innervation that correlates with a reduction in both...
متن کاملIn vivo confocal microscopy of the ocular surface: from bench to bedside.
In vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) is an emerging technology that provides minimally invasive, high resolution, steady-state assessment of the ocular surface at the cellular level. Several challenges still remain but, at present, IVCM may be considered a promising technique for clinical diagnosis and management. This mini-review summarizes some key findings in IVCM of the ocular surface, focusi...
متن کاملReflectance confocal microscopy of skin in vivo: From bench to bedside.
Following more than two decades of effort, reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) imaging of skin was granted codes for reimbursement by the US Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Dermatologists in the USA have started billing and receiving reimbursement for the imaging procedure and for the reading and interpretation of images. RCM imaging combined with dermoscopic examination is guidin...
متن کاملFrom bench to bedside
Because the microcirculation has emerged as an important reanimation target, appropriate methods to monitor the microcirculatory function are crucial. Several teams have now succeeded in crossing this bridge from bench to bedside, but the choice of the tissues of interest remains a debate. The potential accessible vascular beds that doctors could use in reanimation strategies and the relationsh...
متن کاملFrom Bench to Bedside
Since the initial experiments nearly a decade ago, remarkable progress has been made in the field of vascular gene transfer, and trials with human subjects already are under way. The potential of vascular wall gene transfer as therapy for various vascular diseases is considerable.1,2 The purpose of this review is 2-fold: (1) to delineate the methods and principles underlying vascular gene trans...
