This study involved a group of 407 patients (799 eyes) with pigment dispersion syndrome gathered from a glaucoma population of 9200 patients. The sex distribution was equal. The majority (65 Y.) of patients were myopic. The incidence of retinal detachment was 6-4 %. No patients were black, but 5 were mulatto. Approximately one-quarter of the patients with pigment dispersion syndrome (31 % of th...

PURPOSE To investigate the relationship between the early signs of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and the risk of developing exudative AMD (typical AMD or polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy [PCV]) in the fellow eye of Japanese patients with unilateral exudative AMD, focusing particularly on eyes with only pigmentary abnormality. METHODS This study is a retrospective observational conse...

To investigate whether pigmentation genes involved in the melanogenic pathway (melanogenesis) contributed to melanoma predisposition, we compared pigmentary genetics with quantitative skin pigmentation measurements, the number of atypical nevi, the total nevus count, and the familial atypical multiple mole and melanoma (FAMMM) syndrome. We typed 32 pigmentary SNP markers and sequenced MC1R in 2...

OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that the retinal pigment epithelial/photoreceptor complex is affected in patients with pigment dispersion syndrome and/or in patients with pigmentary glaucoma. METHODS Electro-oculograms were recorded from patients with pigment dispersion syndrome, pigmentary glaucoma, ocular hypertension, and primary open-angle glaucoma and from control subjects. Electro-ocul...

Pigmentary glaucoma (PG) is considered as an entity within the spectrum of secondary open angle glaucomas. The condition usually starts in the third or fourth decades of life with disruption of the iris pigment epithelium. The released pigment granules deposit on anterior segment structures such as the corneal endothelium, trabecular meshwork and lens/zonules. This stage is known as primary pig...

Background: Skin diseases are considered a major health problem in the pediatric age group and sometimes associated with significant morbidity. Among them, dermatosis is one of most common skin India, affecting hair. Early diagnosis treatment essential for patients to prevent long-term persistence or disability caused by disease. Although some manifestations physiological require no treatment, ...

Erythema ab igne (EAI) is a cutaneous reaction in response to prolonged exposure infrared heat sources at temperatures insufficient induce burn. Although considered chronic pigmentary disorder, EAI rarely can progress malignant transformation, including squamous cell carcinoma.
