Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the safety of collecting vitreous samples in an office setting and to analyze these samples using a multiplex cytokine approach.
- A total of 59 sampling attempts were made, yielding sufficient fluid without any major complications, although 3% of patients experienced posterior vitreous detachments.
- Results showed that certain cytokine levels were significantly higher in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy compared to those with diabetic macular edema and controls, indicating that office-based vitreous sampling is a safe and valuable method for understanding vitreoretinal diseases.
Purpose: To describe previously unreported clinical characteristics of persistent placoid maculopathy, suggest a pathogenesis of persistent placoid maculopathy using multimodal imaging, and provide evidence supporting high-dose immunosuppression for short-term management.
Methods: Retrospective case series.
Results: The cohort included 3 men with ages ranging from 55 years to 68 years.
Purpose: To investigate relationships between contrast sensitivity (CS), color vision, and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) among people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection; to evaluate the effect of time since diagnosis of HIV infection on RNFL thickness.
Design: Noninterventional cross-sectional study.
Methods: We evaluated 102 eyes of 57 HIV-infected individuals without ocular opportunistic infections.
Purpose: To evaluate relationships between retinal vessel caliber, AIDS-related factors, and mortality.
Design: Longitudinal, observational cohort study.
Methods: We evaluated data for participants without ocular opportunistic infections at initial examination (baseline) in the Longitudinal Studies of the Ocular Complications of AIDS (1998-2008).
Purpose: To evaluate relationships between retinal vessel caliber and tests of visual function among people with AIDS.
Design: Longitudinal, observational cohort study.
Methods: We evaluated data for participants without ocular opportunistic infections at initial examination (baseline) in the Longitudinal Studies of the Ocular Complications of AIDS (1998-2008).
Purpose: To determine the feasibility of remote diagnostic screening for cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis among HIV patients in northern Thailand.
Design: Prospective, observational cross-sectional study.
Methods: One hundred eighty-two eyes from 94 consecutive patients with HIV seen in 2008 and 2009 at a tertiary university-based medical center were photographed using a digital retinal camera.
