- * The review focuses on the ischemic mechanisms involved in glaucoma, such as blood flow issues and signaling pathways that damage retinal nerve fibers.
- * Understanding these ischemic processes could lead to new treatments and better patient care in managing glaucoma.
The effect of object perception on event integration and segregation.
Atten Percept Psychophys
October 2024
The perceptual system must integrate information from various points in time and space to interpret continuous sensory input into meaningful units, such as visual objects or events. To explore the relationship between the perception of spatial objects and temporal events, we modified the missing element task, a typical temporal integration task, by inserting a simple spatial object. The aim was to determine whether the perceptual processing of the object would have an impact on the frequency of temporal integration and segregation.

- The study examined the results of sequential pars plana vitrectomy for treating retinal detachment with macular holes in non-highly myopic patients from 2017 to 2023.
- Out of 980 patients, 10 underwent this two-step surgical process, which included repairing the retinal detachment followed by macular hole closure using a specific technique, leading to high rates of success.
- The findings showed a 90% initial retinal reattachment rate, 100% after the second surgery, complete macular hole closure in all cases, and a significant improvement in visual acuity after treatment.
Background: Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide and is particularly challenging to treat in its refractory forms. The Ahmed valve offers a potential solution for these difficult cases. This research aims to assess the initial clinical experience with Ahmed valve implantation in Romania, evaluating its effectiveness, associated complications, and overall patient outcomes over a five-year period.

The most common variant, MacTel type 2, has distinct clinical features and management strategies.
Methods: This study offers a comprehensive review of MacTel and focuses on a series of three patients diagnosed with MacTel type 2 in our clinic.
