Retinal diseases after irradiation

Clinical Approaches of Retinal Diseases in Pregnancy

Pregnancy leads to significant changes in the body, which potentially affect the retina. Pregnancy can induce disease such as that seen in hypertensive retinopathy and choroidopathy. It can cause exudative retinal detachments in the HELLP syndrome (hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelets), disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), ...

Cell based therapies in retinal diseases

Background Degenerative retinal diseases, including age related macular degeneration, glaucoma, and hereditary retinal dystrophies are major causes of blindness. The principal defect in these diseases is cell loss which is amenable to both cell based neuroprotective and neuroregenerative therapies. To briefly review the lines of research and potential candidates for cell based therapies among ...

Hereditary Retinal Diseases

INTRODUCTION The spectrum of hereditary retinal disease in the dog is well defi ned and closely related to the intensive breeding patterns which are used in some breeds. Many retinopathies are often detected as the result of routine screening in the absence of dramatic clinical features or noticeable disturbance of sight for, while our clients may notice the painful or discoloured eye, few reco...

Retinoids and Retinal Diseases.

Recent progress in molecular understanding of the retinoid cycle in mammalian retina stems from painstaking biochemical reconstitution studies supported by natural or engineered animal models with known genetic lesions and studies of humans with specific genetic blinding diseases. Structural and membrane biology have been used to detect critical retinal enzymes and proteins and their substrates...
