Down syndrome as a cause of abnormalities in the craniofacial region: A systematic literature review.

Down syndrome (DS) is the most often diagnosed chromosomal disorder in newborns. The incidence is 1:792 live births. The article describes the irregularities and characteristics found in trisomy 21, which greatly affect the functioning of the stomatognathic system.

Evaluation of the anterior chamber angle in pseudoexfoliation syndrome.

Background: Pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX) is the most frequently identifiable cause of secondary open-angle glaucoma, known as pseudoexfoliation glaucoma. The exact pathophysiology and etiology of PEX and associated glaucoma remains obscure.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the differences in the morphology of the anterior chamber angle in people with pseudoexfoliation syndrome and pseudoexfoliation glaucoma compared to a control group.

Comparison of Visual Field Measurement with Heidelberg Edge Perimeter and Humphrey Visual Field Analyzer in Patients with Ocular Hypertension.

Background: Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases which result in damage to the optic nerve and vision loss. The most important examination in glaucoma patients is visual field assessment. One of the newer perimeters is Heidelberg Edge Perimeter (HEP).

Heidelberg Edge Perimeter: The New Method of Perimetry.

Glaucoma is an optic nerve neuropathy associated with progressive visual field loss. One of the most frequent eye diseases these days, it is believed to have affected 60 million people worldwide in 2014. Various visual field examination methods are known, from the confrontational test to kinetic and static perimetry.

Using Spectralis and Stratus optical coherence tomography devices to analyze the retinal nerve fiber layer in patients with open-angle glaucoma - preliminary report.

Background: During the study at the Ophthalmology Clinic of Wroclaw Medical University retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness was examined in 35 patients with open-angle glaucoma.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to analyse RNFL thickness measurements by 2 different optical coherence tomography (OCT) devices.

Material And Methods: The study group consisted of 35 patients with open-angle glaucoma (aged 48-76 years, including 20 women and 15 men - 70 eyes) with intraocular pressure below 19 mm Hg, treated pharmacologically.
