Retromode Infrared Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscopy in Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada Disease.
Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol
November 2024
Purpose: This study examined six patients with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease using retromode infrared scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (RMI-SLO).
Methods: We conducted a single-center retrospective review of the medical records of six patients diagnosed with VKH disease. The RMI-SLO images were compared to those obtained using color fundus photography, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and dye-based retinal angiography.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze the presence and characteristics of peripheral drusen-like deposits (DLDs) in patients with pathological myopia using advanced imaging techniques.
- A total of 676 patients (1352 eyes) were reviewed, revealing that 4.9% of eyes had DLDs, primarily in older patients, with some cases linked to myopic macular neovascularization.
- The research indicates that these findings could inform the understanding of how peripheral retinal changes evolve in cases of pathological myopia.
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to find genetic factors that contribute to myopic macular neovascularization (mMNV) in people with severe myopia through a genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis.
- Researchers analyzed data from 2,783 highly myopic individuals, including 608 with mMNV and 2,175 controls, using advanced genetic analysis techniques.
- The study discovered a new genetic variant, rs56257842, associated with a lower risk of mMNV, and found that certain transcription factors interacted differently with this variant, suggesting it plays a significant role in the disease's development.
, an obligate intracellular parasite, is a globally prevalent pathogen capable of infecting a wide range of warm-blooded animals, including humans. Ocular toxoplasmosis (OT), a severe manifestation of infection, can lead to potentially blinding complications. This comprehensive review delves into the current understanding of biology, exploring its complex life cycle, diverse transmission routes, and strain diversity.
