Externalization of Schlemm's canal (sinusotomy) in glaucoma.
IT is evident that ocular hypertension in glaucoma is usually due to an increased resistance to the outflow of the intra-ocular fluid. In about two-thirds of all patients there is no visible obstacle to the outflow in the anterior chamber angle (so-called wide-angle glaucoma); these pathological changes in the intramural pathways, starting from the trabecular meshwork, are usually held responsi...
متن کاملSurgical outcomes of trabeculotomy combined with sinusotomy for juvenile glaucoma.
PURPOSE To evaluate the outcome of trabeculotomy combined with sinusotomy for juvenile glaucoma. METHODS We studied 16 patients (25 eyes) (age range, 11-50 years) with juvenile glaucoma for a minimum follow-up period of 1 year. We performed combined trabeculotomy and sinusotomy surgery in 13 juvenile glaucoma patients (18 eyes), and trabeculotomy alone in 6 patients (7 eyes). RESULTS The in...
متن کاملAltered mechanobiology of Schlemm's canal endothelial cells in glaucoma.
Increased flow resistance is responsible for the elevated intraocular pressure characteristic of glaucoma, but the cause of this resistance increase is not known. We tested the hypothesis that altered biomechanical behavior of Schlemm's canal (SC) cells contributes to this dysfunction. We used atomic force microscopy, optical magnetic twisting cytometry, and a unique cell perfusion apparatus to...
متن کاملNeural correlates of sound externalization
When we listen to sounds through headphones without utilizing special transforms, sound sources seem to be located inside our heads. The sound sources are said to be lateralized to one side or the other to varying degree. This internal lateralization is different than sound source localization in the natural environment in which the sound is localized distal to the head. We used fMRI to investi...
متن کاملStem Cells in Glaucoma Management
Glaucoma is the leading cause of preventable blindness worldwide. Despite tremendous advances in medical and surgical management of glaucoma in the recent years, the prevalence of glaucoma related blindness is anticipated to increase in the future decades because of the aging population. Stem cells have the potential to change the glaucoma management in several ways. There are several areas of ...
