Choroid and Retinal Effects of Epilepsy and Epilepsy Subgroups.

Objectives: The objective were to evaluate structural alterations in the retina and choroid tissue of epilepsy patients and subtypes using enhanced depth imaging optic coherence tomography (EDI-OCT).

Methods: 46 epilepsy patients and 50 sex- and age-matched control patients were analyzed in the study. Patients' epilepsy types were recorded.

Biodegradable Harmonophores for Targeted High-Resolution Tumor Imaging.

Optical imaging probes have played a major role in detecting and monitoring a variety of diseases. In particular, nonlinear optical imaging probes, such as second harmonic generating (SHG) nanoprobes, hold great promise as clinical contrast agents, as they can be imaged with little background signal and unmatched long-term photostability. As their chemical composition often includes transition metals, the use of inorganic SHG nanoprobes can raise long-term health concerns.
