Determination of Central Venous Pressure from Intraocular Pressure
Background: In many clinical situations, knowledge of central venous pressure (CVP) is important. Measurement of CVP is not always possible. Objective: To determine if intraocular pressure (IOP) can be used as an estimate for CVP. Methods: IOP and CVP were measured concurrently in 30 candidates of coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Those with carotid artery or jugular venous diseases as we...
متن کاملAdventure tourism and adventure sports injury: the New Zealand experience.
The primary aims of this study were to establish a client injury baseline for the New Zealand adventure tourism and adventure sport sector, and to examine patterns and trends in claims for injury during participation in adventure activities. Content analysis of narrative text data for compensated injuries occurring in a place for recreation and sport over a 12-month period produced over 15,000 ...
متن کاملNew Therapeutic Targets for Intraocular Pressure Lowering
Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is a leading cause of irreversible and preventable blindness and ocular hypertension is the strongest known risk factor. With current classes of drugs, management of the disease focuses on lowering intraocular pressure (IOP). Despite of their use to modify the course of the disease, none of the current medications for POAG is able to reduce the IOP by more tha...
متن کاملIntraocular Pressure Sensors: New Approaches for Real-time Intraocular Pressure Measurement Using a Purely Microfluidic Chip
In this work, an approach for the monitoring of intraocular pressure (IOP) using a manometer-based microfluidic device is described. This device was designed for periodic monitoring of IOP in patients suffering from glaucoma. The current state-of-the-art IOP measurement technique, a tonometer, lacks accuracy due to unpredictable scleral compliance and variable cornea stiffness between patients....
متن کاملEvaluation of the diurnal intraocular pressure fluctuations and blood pressure under dehydration due to fasting
Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the diurnal intraocular pressure fluctuations under dehydration conditions and the relationship between the intraocular pressure fluctuations and blood pressure. Methods: The intraocular pressures (IOP), body weights, as well as systolic and diastolic blood pressures (SBP, DBP) of 36 fasting healthy volunteers were recorded at 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m...
