Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorder (SSD) is a chronic psychiatric disorder with modest treatment outcomes. Changes in neuronal morphology may be associated the symptomatology of SSD. In present study, we compared retinal nerve fibre layer thickness (RNFLT) typically developed adults that individuals SSD both acute and stages. Fifteen healthy adult males (mean age: 36.40 years) 30 37.9 took part st...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Although a few automated hippocampal subfield segmentation methods have been developed, there is no study on the effects of the diagnosis of Alzheimer disease on the hippocampal subfield volume with in vivo MR imaging. The aim of this study was to investigate hippocampal subfield volume differences between drug-naïve subjects with AD and healthy elderly controls by using ...

BACKGROUND/AIMS [corrected] The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of, and risk factors dictating, progression of subclinical macular oedema (SCME) to clinically significant macular oedema (CSME) in patients with diabetes. METHODS This was a retrospective, observational case-controlled study at the Veterans Administration (VA) Boston Healthcare System. The study group includ...

PURPOSE To report one year outcomes of focal Navigated Retina Laser Therapy (NAVILAS) for diabetic macular edema (DME). METHODS Retrospective cohort series of 7 diabetic patients treated with NAVILAS focal laser. Statistical analysis included descriptive and continuous variables (Best-corrected logMAR Visual Acuity and time-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) parameters) which were comp...

PURPOSE This study compares the presence of vitreous hyper-reflective dots (VHDs) detected with optical coherence tomography (OCT) between eyes with pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (CME) and those with no CME after cataract surgery. In addition, we evaluated the impact of VHDs on the responsiveness of pseudophakic CME to cortisone treatment. SETTING Department of Ophthalmology, Medical Uni...

AIMS To evaluate the scanning retinal thickness analyser (RTA), a novel non-invasive imaging instrument, in diagnosing and quantitatively characterising diabetic macular oedema, and to investigate the relation between central macula thickness measured by RTA and other clinical examinations. METHODS Central macular thickness was measured using the RTA in 40 normal subjects and 60 patients with...

UNLABELLED The pain and aging subfield has grown dramatically, including a 6-fold increase in publications over the last 2 decades. This subfield is based on the assumption that pain in older and younger adults differs in clinically and theoretically significant ways. If this were not the case, data from younger groups could be generalized to older persons, and the subfield would not be needed....

OBJECTIVE To prove the existence of a correlation between central corneal thickness and diabetes. METHODS Ultrasound pachymetry measurements were made in 1,000 patients. The sample was divided into two groups of patients: 953 of them were non-diabetic patients, and 47 were diabetic patients. RESULTS The average central corneal thickness in diabetic patients was 571.96 +/- 26.81 microns with...
