Article Synopsis
- The study examines the clinical features and potential markers for inherited retinal dystrophy (IRD) associated with the TULP1 gene variant c.148delG, found in 16 patients.
- It reveals that this variant leads to early-onset IRD, showing a progression from normal retinal appearance to severe pigmentary changes and cell layer loss over time.
- Key findings suggest that retinal imaging metrics, like the width of the foveal ellipsoid zone and layer thickness, could serve as important indicators for disease progression and timing of potential treatments.
Introduction: Eye injuries can cause decreased vision or even blindness, and predispose to future complications. Wood as an independent cause of eye injuries has infrequently been the focus of the studies. The aim of this study is to report the current population-based epidemiology, treatment, use of resources and outcomes of eye injuries caused by sticks, branches, and other wooden projectiles in Finland.

Objective: To estimate resource use and the costs of eye injuries in 2011-2012 in the Helsinki University Eye Hospital (HUEH), which covers 1.6 million people in Southern Finland.
Methods: This population-based study consisted of all new patients (1,151) with eye injuries in one year.
Purpose: To quantify and characterize the epidemiology, treatments, long-term outcome, and use of resources for work tool-related eye injuries and their severity.
Methods: We included all new patients with a work tool-related eye injury treated at the Helsinki University Eye Hospital in 1 year. The data were from hospital records, examinations, and patient questionnaires.
Purpose: We report the epidemiology, findings, treatment, long-term outcome and use of resources for eye injuries caused by toy guns in southern Finland.
Methods: All new patients injured by toy guns in one year (2011-2012) and treated at Helsinki University Eye Hospital were included. Follow-ups occurred at 3 months and 5 years.
Purpose: To describe epidemiology, causes, treatments and outcomes of all ocular injuries in southern Finland among people aged 61 and older.
Methods: All new ocular trauma patients, admitted to the Helsinki University Eye Hospital, during 1 year in 2011-2012. The data were from hospital records and prospectively from patient questionnaires.
Objective: We studied the correlation between airbag deployment and eye injuries using 2 different data sets.
Methods: The registry of the Finnish Road Accident (FRA) Investigation Teams was analyzed to study severe head- and eyewear-related injuries. All fatal passenger car or van accidents that occurred during the years 2009-2012 (4 years) were included (n = 734).
Purpose: To determine the current population-based epidemiology, treatment, use of resources and outcomes of children's eye injuries in Finland.
Methods: The study included all new patients, 16 years of age or under, with ocular or orbital traumas taken into care to the Helsinki University Eye Hospital (population base 1.5 million people) in 1 year.
Purpose: To describe epidemiology, causes, treatments and outcomes of ocular injuries in adults aged 17 to 60 in southern Finland.
Methods: All new ocular trauma patients admitted to the Helsinki University Eye Hospital (HUEH), during 1 year in 2011-2012. The data were from hospital records and prospectively from patient questionnaires.
Purpose: This study aims to represent the epidemiologies, findings, treatments, use of resources, outcomes and protective-eyewear-use recommendations in sports-related eye injuries by sport type.
Methods: The study population is comprised of all new eye injury patients in 1 year in Helsinki University Eye Hospital. Data were collected from patient questionnaires and hospital records.
