the purpose of this study was to investigate magnetic resonance imaging (mri) of the normal feline eyeand optic nerves using t1-weighted and t2-weighted images. a total of 6 healthy female domestic short haircats age 2-2.5 years and weighing 3.2 ± 0.4 kg were selected. magnetic resonance imaging data werecollected using gemsow (philips) at a magnetic field strength of 1.5 t. dorsal, sagittal, a...

Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that have the ability to convert to different types of cells and after dividing, they can produce their own cells or other cells. Axons of the retinal ganglion cells, from the optic nerve. These cells lose the ability to regenerate themselves before birth. Optic nerve degeneration can result from various causes including increased intraocular pressure, comp...

Introduction: Nogo-A and Nogo receptor (NgR) are expressed in the subventricular zone (SVZ) stem cells. NgR plays critical inhibitory roles in axonal regeneration and remyelination. However, the role of NgR in SVZ niche behaviors in demyelination context is still uncertain. Here we investigated the effects of NgR inhibition on SVZ niche reaction in a local model of demyelination in adult mouse ...

introduction: elevated intracranial pressure (icp) is a major and potentially lethal disorder in patients admitted to the emergency department (ed). several methods are being used to investigate for elevated icp. here we assessed and compared the diagnostic accuracy of two existing tools of ophthalmoscopy and optic nerve ultrasonography in detection of elevated icp. methods: 131 participants wi...

the purpose of this investigation was to study and compare the electrophoretic patterns of optic lensproteins of different species of domestic animals at pre- and post-natal ages. optic lenses were removed from the embryo or adult sheep, cattle, goat, camel and chicken at the slaughter-house then homogenized and subjected to sodium dodecylsulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (sds-page). i...

purpose: to report the first case of concomitant optic nerve transection and chorioretinitis sclopetaria patient and findings: a 12-year-old boy with history of bb gun injury to his right eye was referred for loss of vision 8 months after the accident. visual acuity in the right eye was counting fingers at one meter with 3+ rapd. on slit lamp examination, right eye seemed normal except 1+ anter...
