The neural retina in retinopathy of prematurity.
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a neurovascular disease that affects prematurely born infants and is known to have significant long term effects on vision. We conducted the studies described herein not only to learn more about vision but also about the pathogenesis of ROP. The coincidence of ROP onset and rapid developmental elongation of the rod photoreceptor outer segments motivated us to...
متن کاملThe retinopathy of prematurity.
When the condition of retrolental fibroplasia was first described by Terry (1942) in the United States of America it was then only recognized in the advanced state of a cicatricial mass or membrane behind the lens. It is now appreciated, however, that the earliest pathological changes occur in the nerve fibre layer of the retina, which first of all becomes thickened as a result of oedema, trans...
متن کاملIncreased angiogenic factors associated with peripheral avascular retina and intravitreous neovascularization: a model of retinopathy of prematurity.
OBJECTIVES To determine expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), pigment epithelium-derived factor, and their respective receptors in retinas using a model of retinopathy of prematurity. METHODS Retinas isolated from a 50/10 oxygen (inspired oxygen cycled between 50% oxygen and 10% oxygen every 24 hours)-induced rat model of retinopathy of prematurity (50/10 OIR model), and fr...
متن کاملRetinopathy of Prematurity
The incidence of ROP varies with birth weight but it has been reported to be approximately 50-70% in infants whose weight is less than 1250g at birth. The more premature the infant, the more likely ROP is to develop [1]. Furthermore, an observational study from United Kingdom found that the birth weight of infants from highly developed countries was 737-763g compared with 903-1527g in less-deve...
متن کاملClassifying retinopathy of prematurity
It is important to classify retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in each eye, at each screening session. Doing so makes it possible to screen babies consistently and to make decisions about whether further screening is required and when, or whether laser treatment or surgical management is needed. The International Committee for the Classification of ROP1 has classified it using the following crite...
