Remote Ischemic Preconditioning and Diabetic Macular Edema
Objective: Remote Ischemic Preconditioning (RIPC) as the transient ischemia and reperfusion of the arm is a promising method for protecting different tissue from future ischemia. These effects might be mediated through vascular and endothelial growth factor (VEGF) pathway. We investigated the influence of RIPC on diabetic macular edema (DME) as a chronic ischemic condition in patients who were ...
متن کاملWhen is macular edema not macular edema? An update on macular telangiectasia type 2☆
Macular telangiectasia type 2 (Mac Tel 2) also known as idiopathic perifoveal telangiectasia and juxtafoveolar retinal telangiectasis type 2A is an enigmatic disease of unknown etiology. It manifests both neurodegenerative and vasculopathic characteristics. It manifests itself during the fifth or sixth decades of life. Clinical characteristics include minimally dilated parafoveal capillaries wi...
متن کاملA Three-year Follow-up of Intravitreal Triamcinolone Acetonide Injection and Macular Laser Photocoagulation for Diffuse Diabetic Macular Edema
PURPOSE To report the three-year outcomes of macular laser photocoagulation following intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide (IVTA) for diffuse diabetic macular edema (DME). METHODS A prospective, randomized controlled study was completed. Eighty-six eyes of 74 patients with diffuse DME were randomized into two groups. Eyes assigned to the combination group (n = 48) were subjected ...
متن کاملAutofluorescence Imaging for Diagnosis and Follow-up of Cystoid Macular Edema
Lipofuscin results from digestion of photoreceptor outer segments by the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and is the principal compound that causes RPE fluorescence during autofluorescence imaging. Absorption of the 488-nanometer blue light by macular pigments, especially by the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin, causes normal macular hypo-autofluorescence. Fundus autofluorescence imaging is be...
متن کاملMacular Edema: Drying Is Not Repairing
For reasons still not fully understood, diabetic retinopathy at some stage leads to changes in the retina, the most prominent part of which is alterations in the blood retinal barrier and appearance of macular edema which adversely affects vision. Treatment is then decided and applied. Central questions one should ask for evaluating the treatment strategy are: what is the goal of treatment and ...
