PURPOSE To determine the correlation between the prognosis of branch retinal artery obstruction (BRAO) and the foveal thickness or outer nuclear layer (ONL) thickness on optical coherence tomography (OCT). METHODS Twenty-one eyes (21 patients) in patients with resolved, non-complicated BRAO and a normal control of 10 eyes (10 volunteers) were used in this study. The average macular thickness,...

purpose: to compare peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (rnfl) thickness among multiple sclerosis (ms) patients with or without a history of optic neuritis (on) and a healthy control group. methods: in this retrospective case-control study, 59 ms patients were recruited from a neurology clinic of imam hossein hospital. of which, 36 patients had at least one episode of on and 23 others had n...

Objective(s): Atherosclerosis is a chronic immune-inflammatory disease that generally leads to ischemic heart disease. Ghrelin has several modulatory effects on cardiovascular system. In this study, we investigated the effect of ghrelin on aortic intima-media thickness, size and the number of adipocyte cells in obese and control mice. Materials and Methods:This study was conducted on 24 male C...

PURPOSE To evaluate in vivo epithelial thickness in dry eye by anterior segment optical coherence tomography. DESIGN Observational, retrospective case-control study. METHODS Two age-matched groups of female subjects, 70 eyes each, age ≈ 55 years, were studied in clinical practice setting: a control (unoperated, no ocular pathology) and a dry eye group (clinically confirmed dry eye, unoperat...

background: headache is one of the most disturbing symptoms with common neurological signs. variations in optic nerve perfusion quality or retinal microcirculation may end up in ganglion cell damage in patients with migraine. methods: sixty patients diagnosed with migraine and thirty normal individuals were evaluated in groups including migraine with aura, migraine without aura and controls. re...
