Monitoring Progression in Hypertensive Patients with Dyslipidemia Using Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography: Can A.I. Be Improved?

: With the development of artificial intelligence (A.I.), the optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) analysis of progression in hypertensive retinopathy could be improved.

The Mirror Theory: Parallels between Open Angle and Angle Closure Glaucoma.

Glaucoma is a widespread ophthalmological disease, with a high impact and frequent visual morbidity. While the physiopathology of the two types of primary glaucoma (open angle and angle closure) has been studied, there seems to be little relationship between the two. In this study, we gather clinical and preclinical data to support the idea that the two primary glaucomas are "mirrored" in terms of morphological parameters and disease physiopathology.

Particular Anatomy of the Hyperopic Eye and Potential Clinical Implications.

: Hyperopia is a refractive error which affects cognitive and social development if uncorrected and raises the risk of primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG). : The study included only the right eye-40 hyperopic eyes in the study group (spherical equivalent (SE) under pharmacological cycloplegia over 0.50 D), 34 emmetropic eyes in the control group (SE between -0.

Determining the capacity for effort and recovery of the elite soccer players specialized in different playing positions.

Background: The capacity for effort and recovery in performance sports can be increased by means of modern methodological strategies. This capacity to recover after intense matches and training helps to determine the performance in soccer. Using the Yumeiho technique will accelerate the exercise capacity recovery of the soccer players specialized in central zone positions.

Corneal biomechanical properties in myopic and emmetropic children.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between corneal biomechanics and ocular morphology in myopic children and adolescents.

Patients And Methods: The study included 170 right eyes, from 170 patients under the age of 18 years, who underwent a complete ophthalmologic examination, gathering the following data: spherical equivalent (SE) (under pharmacological cycloplegia), biomechanical parameters - corneal hysteresis (CH) and corneal resistance factor (CRF), structural parameters - axial length (AL) and central corneal thickness (CCT).

Results: The average age of the patients was 15.
