Early REperfusion therapy with intravenous alteplase for recovery of VISION in acute central retinal artery occlusion (REVISION): Study protocol of a phase III trial.

Rationale: Meta-analyses of case series of non-arteritic central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) indicate beneficial effects of intravenous thrombolysis when initiated early after symptom onset. Randomized data are lacking to address this question.

Aims: The REperfusion therapy with intravenous alteplase for recovery of VISION in acute central retinal artery occlusion (REVISION) investigates intravenous alteplase within 4.

[Surgical therapy and pathogen detection in endogenous endophthalmitis : Analysis of data from five German eye hospitals].

Background: Endogenous endophthalmitis results from hematogenous spread of bacterial or fungal infection in severely diseased patients. Specific systemic and intraocular therapy is required. The basis for this treatment is causal pathogen detection in blood culture or vitreous sample.

[Molecular diagnostics for vitreoretinal lymphoma].

Primary vitreoretinal lymphoma (PVRL) represents a subtype of intraocular lymphomas, which are a subgroup of malignant lymphomas of the eye. PVRL is considered a special form of primary diffuse large cell lymphoma (DLBCL) of the CNS (central nervous system) (PCNSL) and arises primary or secondary to PCNSL. According to the cell of origin (COO) classification of DLBCL, PVRL largely belongs to the activated B‑cell (ABC) type of DLBCL.

Transcorneal Electrical Stimulation Dose-Dependently Slows the Visual Field Loss in Retinitis Pigmentosa.

Purpose: To assess whether transcorneal electrical stimulation (TcES) current-dependently slows progressive loss of visual field area (VFA) in retinitis pigmentosa (RP).

Methods: Data from 51 patients with RP who received monocular TcES treatment once weekly over 1 year in an interventional, randomized study have been analyzed a posteriori. Current amplitudes were 0.

Chromatic Full-Field Stimulus Thresholds in Patients with Treatment-Naive Age-Related Macular Degeneration.

Purpose: To evaluate retinal sensitivity using chromatic full-field stimulus thresholds (FST) in patients with treatment naive exudative age-related macular degeneration (e-ARMD) before and during the first intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) treatment.

Patients And Methods: After general ophthalmological examinations to diagnose patients with e-ARMD the FST, the central foveal thickness (FCt) and the visual acuity were assessed in 20 eyes of 20 patients during this prospective study. Examinations were performed before and during the first treatment series with three intravitreal anti-VEGF injections.
